    I had a friend in a difficult position, deciding between high pay at Buy N Large or the opportunity to work on insanely cool shit for Death Inc.

    Ultimately he chose Death Inc, and the reasoning was along the lines of “This might kill a hundred people, but at least it’ll kill them specifically. I can’t even conceptualize the harm Amazon et al. do on a global scale to entire populations without even trying”.

    Made me think. I didn’t have a very good answer to that.

    Walmart asked the question “If we can’t have replicators from star trek, what if we built a global supply chain fueled by human misery that spreads broken window syndrome like project Pluto spreads radiation instead.”

    That’s company is not going to make human friendly decisions, they’re going to make profit obsessed psychopath friendly decisions.
