People using private jets are scumbags. The world is better off without them. However, I would have preferred a diving accident or something else that would have spared the eight other lives.

    Future entitled kids most likely.

    FutureCrimes (TM) by Palantir: bad, I hate it. Objectively amoral.

    Future crimes when I predict the outcome based on a single variable (parents are rich): morally fine, I love it.

    To clarify, amoral is without moral valence, immoral is the negative moral valence. Amoral would be the killing an animal does while hunting for food. Immoral would be healthcare CEOs figuring out how to deny more claims.

    I dunno, there's a lot of examples of rich kids distancing themselves from toxic parents. Most recently Brad Pitts kids.

    It's worth the death of 8 others, including the prodigy pilot?

    It's hard to say. How many deaths would he cause if he lived? He probably wouldn't directly kill someone, but his actions would have consequences. For example, flying around in a private jet has a very high carbon output. This will result in people's deaths.

    It's easier to see the deaths and damage caused by a healthcare CEO, as an example, but this person also causes significant damage. I don't think the other people deserved to die, and the world would probably be better with them, but are their deaths worth it? That's an opinion, and it's very hard to answer. I'd probably say yes, because it likely saves more than eight lives, but we also need to account for the people they would have saved, and the harm it has caused people around them, so idk.

    Idk how fair it is to butterfly effect the pilot. This could be argued for anyone, including you. You drive a caror travel and make purchases to services that enable this, you're responsible for enabling people to be able to fly private jets.

    Are the other people's deaths worth it? What? Sounds like a certain Kirk comment we all remember.

    Nah, there were innocent kids and working class pilots on that flight. I'm glad Mr. Anderson left the world, but his kids certainly did not deserve to go like that.

    That would be an unpopular opinion.. take my Internet points

    No, we should not. Nothing was learned from this, nothing will change because of this. The idea of just getting rid of problematic people is naïve and disregards the hard question on how a human society allows them to strive in the first place.

    They allowed themselves to strive through their connections and wealth. "We allowed them" is naive beyond reproach. They have always been in power and you are just their servant.

    I rarely feel empathy for owners of business jets or luxury cars who crash and die in their rich fucker's toys.

    Now we only need that to happen a thousand times more to actually make anything change. All the innocents that die too are just the price of fixing humanity's woes, amirite?

    🤨

    I am disgusted by threads like this, but they always provide valuable information about which users are literally evil

    Disagree 100% with.

    Cheering cancer leaving your body is for good people.

    Now if society killed him then you might have a point.

    He was the garbage of society. He was the reason we are where we are. He was cancer and its good that the cancer is gone now. Hopefully the rest of them can sink or crash and we can have a normal life again.

    Ps: we wont survice the cancer and the planet will ensure none of us survive what we are doing to it.

    Too bad his flesh was incinerated. Would've liked to use it in my compost. Oh well. Plenty of fish and all that.

    Isn't every jet crash a good thing? - each and every one -

    Edit: to clarify. I meant private jet

    A jet with a hundred civilians on board? Definitely not.
