Big difference between friends I love and a random kid I donā€™t give a shit about. Also it has always been this way so there was no development. I may not have clarified this well enough here but at least two of the five best friends Iā€™ve ever had are currently my colleagues, and Iā€™m desperate to keep them from quitting.

Okay, well thatā€™s a somewhat counterintuitive response. If you are confronted by a situation where you will inevitably cause pain, but you can choose whether itā€™s a small amount or a large amount, then, in constrast to your response, it does rather seem as if the fact that it is morally worse to inflict a large amount of pain as opposed to a small amount (assuming it is a fact) settles what it is morally permissible to do - namely, only inflict a small amount of pain. Of course, it is possible that in different circumstances this would not be the case, so letā€™s see how this plays out.

Moral Judgement 2 of 2

Is killing five innocent people morally worse than killing one innocent person? (Note: Assume that all other things are equal here. So, for example, itā€™s not going to turn out that by killing the five people, youā€™re going to save the universe, or save the five from some unimaginably awful future horror, or cause the cancellation of the X factor, or anything like that).

Yes, killing five innocent people is worse than killing one innocent person
No, killing five innocent people is not worse than killing one innocent person
