    Have we considered that we’re wrong for criminalizing the smartest and most philanthropic people on the planet?

      Every time we’re so lazy & ignorant that Nick Bostrom has to remind us to form a white nation state or Peter Singer scolds us for our failure to kill our disabled children, we are personally responsible for the agonizing deaths of 13.2 heptillion children who would otherwise have been saved from Hanahaki Disease.

      I, too, am of the opinion that the members of the better classes, signified through their wealth and fortune, should not be subjected to the same criminal laws that the peasants must abide by. They should instead be allowed to do as they will. The poor really shouldn’t believe they have any standing to judge their betters.
