Morning. Here's one to chew on:
If you had a button that, when pressed, would give you a million dollars but instantly and painlessly kill a random person on the other side of the world whom you'd never meet or know... would you press it? And if not, why? What's the fundamental difference between that and buying something made in a sweatshop, or even just driving a car, knowing the broader, statistical cost? Is ignorance really bliss, or just complicity?
