what if?

antarchi's picture

what if some people are better than others

what if you can't 'reform' murderers

what if being an evil dictator is genetic

what if equality is just woolly talk

what if it even leads to worse results than if we were to resign ourselves to inequality

what if you can only make the world a better place by wiping all bad people off its face

what if you can't make it a better place anyway

For one part of the world, those are genuine questions. For another part, the answer is obvious. The second part divides into two further parts: the first of these thinks that the hypothetical is obviously true. The second thinks its obviously false.

We can't even agree on what are questions, let alone on how to answer them.
