>he doesn't think the end justifies the means in any situation

>>148097315

Go away you filthy Kantian

>>148097315
I mean, the end is all people are going to end up living with. If benefits outweigh the the cost, why not?

>>148097315
Because it outweighs it in every situation.

>>148098822
Then why do you do anything, if the means truly always outweigh the end?

if they don't then nothing does but magic

>>148097315

So obtaining world peace by killing everyone is just fine right?

>>148099070
That's just bad math; doesn't prove anything

>the end justifies the means in every situation

>>148099226
Who are you quoting?

>>148097315
It doesn't. You can't justify say, killing millions of people, inducing environment damage, and destroying countless traditions for whatever goal you have.

>>148097315
Hypothetical situation.

I want chocolate icecream. I proceed to launch nuclear strikes on various countries every 10 minutes until someone brings me chocolate icecream.

Did the end justify the means?

>>148099531
Reverse situation. You want some chocolate ice cream. You go to the store and buy some. Did the end not justify the means?

>>148099531

Did you get your ice cream?

>>148097315
As it turns out, all highly polarized ideologies make next to no sense. Good job recognizing something that people 3,500 years dead figured out.

>>148097315
Yeah, no one thinks that.
Nice anime thread by the way.

2 nukes.

It depends on how much you value human life.

Because he's not a retarded teenager going for shock value.

It almost always does.

>>148098255
But Kant didn't think that, did he? In the "drowning child" thought experiment, saving a drowning orphan for any other reason than knowing it's the right thing to do in that situation(e.g., "I'll save her because I just happen to like orphans") is not morally right. That doesn't sound like "ends justify the means" at all.

Not unless you have been as efficient as possible instead of doing whatever is temporarily convenient for you.

Given that we have over 7 billlion of it, I'd say they are fairly expendable.

OP?
I mean that whole 'who are you quoting?' snark is lame when it's used with reason.
When you use it on someone who actually is quoting someone you just sound retarded.
