About this episode
The Ends Justify The Means
You have to break a few eggs to make an Omelette
And similar phrases are not only used to moraly justify atrocities, but are wielded rhetorically as a call to action instead of a moral argument.
Whether a case of desperation, or of utilitarian ends, we take a look a this form of moral argumentation and see if it holds water.
Three layers challenge the legitimacy of such sayings:
1. The Argument is Incomplete.
2. I struggles under any moral scrutiny
3. It only serves the short term.
Listen in, comment below, make some noise.
