“It depends on how you see the world.” There used to be a morality question: “If you could press a button; and kill a million people on the other side of the world; and get a million dollars – would you do it?”
This simple “yes/no” scenario would be met today with equivocation: “It’s only about 1/8000th of the world’s population – 0.013%.” or “There are too many people anyway” or [maybe even more dismissive] “A million dollars isn’t worth that much today.”
It seems that the only objection to making a deal with the Devil: is not getting the best deal possible.
If in the setting of Science; People don’t have much importance – why are we letting Science decide our future?
Science and politics are what people do; Art is what people are — maybe we should remember that.
