Thinking about a conversation I was having with an acquaintance years ago. He was a friend of a friend and we were talking about food. I forget the exact phrasing but I brought up loving avocados. He said “what’s that?” I was a bit surprised and explained. He responded “OH thats crazy I thought that was one of those made up words”. The statement was like a flashbang I had to contemplate for a few minutes. PERSONAL STORIES ONLY, DO NOT INCLUDE A STATEMENT FROM A CELEBRITY OR POLITICIAN.

    given a choice between killing himself or thousands of others he’d choose the mass murder option

    First of all, that wouldn’t be murder. If the only other option was your own death, it would be self defense.
    Not saying it would be the moral choice, but it wouldn’t be murder.

    Secondly, most people would choose that option, when given those choices.
    I’m sure about this, because normal people are put in that situation in war, and I’m not aware of many known cases where a soldier simply refused to fire their machine gun for moral reasons, when thousands of enemy soldiers stormed towards their position.
