Consequentialism baybeeeeeee
This exact hypothetical is taught in ethics classes. You being a nice SS guard at a camp will reduce the most harm/provide the most utility. Watcha gunna do?
That's not even that good of a hypothetical, obviously you'd do better as an SS guard if you take the
pill and kill yourself and everyone around you.
Yeah but I feel like if I wanted to do something like this i'd join the partizans or defect to the soviets. Too much of philosophy is focusing on vacuums instead of lives.
Do feel free to take the
pill tho
For sure, it's how all hypothetical scenarios feel.
I wonder how liberals would respond if you extrapolated this out to conclude that Vietnam conscripts fragging their commanding officers are Consequentialists.
