Beware, beware!

Today I have an essay about kindness and thought experiments out in Uncanny Magazine, Beware the Lifeboats. Go, read, enjoy!

Thank you! (I'm never sure about individuals' preferences there, so I probably check in more than is necessary.)

That is a good essay, and of particular utility to me, in that it allowed me to remove Station Eleven from my TBR list.

Excellent essay and it has sent me down a very pleasant rabbit hole of reading people taking apart "The Cold Equations" which I never knew I needed but I absolutely do. Thank you!

I loved this essay. I have been bothered about the lifeboat problem since I made to participate in it in seventh grade. Also, my god, "The Good Place" utterly eviscerated the Trolley Problem, and will love them forever for that.

"Eviscerated" here is almost literal! I mean the effects.
