“Thanos’s plan is fairly crude utilitarianism, but not so crude that it can be dismissed out of hand.”
Please. Pleeeeeease stop letting white men talk about morality. Please.
They are like migraines on legs
the only moral dilemma presented by iw is HOW much it’s okay to make thanos suffer before obviating his entire existence and undoing all of his deeds. PLEEEEEEAASE.
that’s it folks, that’s the show. the russos tried to elevate Thanos beyond being the Worst Sexual Harrasser in Comic Book History, but the internet neckbeards smelled one of their own and found a way to out him as another pseudo-intellectual fuckboi who lives to make life harder for normal folk just trying to do their jobs. Lady Death been knew!
The discussion of Thanos and scarcity is absurd, but he’s right about the ridiculousness of Steve’s uncompromising Kantianism. Someone who’s not sucked in by Malthusian economics needs to discuss the deontology vs. consequentialism thing. I guess I will at some point. Probably with a lot of clips from “The Good Place.”
