      Teaching "lifeboat ethics" without explaining that it's founded on malthusian thought which is empirically wrong is functionally malpractice when it comes to teaching ethics.

        yeah. also, I'm definitely poking fun at the three arrows here. I think it's equally likely that his professor taught ethics correctly and he had the wrong takeaway.

      also, imagine unironically using the term "breeding" to refer to human reproduction. someone is either knee-deep in the eugenics movement or spends way too much time reading kink fan fiction. or both.
