>The response to terrorism is completely overblown compared to how many people it kills. If we actually cared about saving lives, we would divert the counter-terrorism budget into preventing diabetes, heart disease, kidney failure etc.
How do you refute this?

we should pump the money into forcing fat people to get in shape and slaughter muslims
2 birds with 1 stone

You can solve two problems at once, and at some point you also reach saturation. Throwing much more money into cancer research for example wouldn't change much, it is already very well funded.
>>134988654
Well you have to factor in the work your money will do. If i invest the money from terrorism into diabetes what will that return compared to my return when invest on counter terrorism. Shitty argument. Also here is where diversity matters, If you spread your money across multiple sources of death you benefit from paretos rule for it surely must apply to at least one of those sources by the pigeonhole principle

oh, come the fuck on, newfag!
We're already doing that so shut the fuck up.

Al Assad killed his people while they were protesting peacefully and then the revolution started.

Terrorism poses a different kind of risk than health related problems. Health issues kill people in predictable amounts over time: terrorism kills a few people for a while, then a 9/11 happens. Fat tailed risk.
Read Taleb.

You do sometimes. Might be how the US happened, in fact.
Terrorism poses hugeeconomic risks. Why do you think anti-terrorism efforts are about saving lives?
>>134988654
we refute this by writing SAGE in the options field
Well then I guess we shouldn't bother spending money on enforcing any criminal laws at all (including traffic laws) since they kill so few compared to cancer.

>Let's stop focusing on a problem that can be fixed much easier and focus on the problem that is nearly impossible to fix
You can't throw money at something and expect it to work faster

>How do you refute this?
The lack of deaths in terrorist related attacks just proves that we're actually doing a pretty good job of it.
