Who is more ethically advanced: a person who has a larger set of things for which they will kill, or for which they will die?
And do you put yourself in the more advanced bucket?
I know that the question can be rendered silly by what you put in the sets, but I’m talking in very general terms and I’m just starting to think about things in this way, so my formulations are vague. But I’m pretty sure that some more precise form of the question signifies something, and that it’s the later group who would win for any definition of advanced that I might care to use. I’m also pretty sure I don’t qualify.
