A principle can be sound while not being applicable. Principles and applications are two separate things and there's no reason to conflate them. >>That's like saying the principle behind 1 + 1 = 3 That's not sound in principle.. >>Another perspective to consider; the best way to help people in the future is to help people today. That is an entirely valid, and I would argue probably correct, perspective yet it doesn't invalidate the principle that a greater number of future lives matter more than a fewer number of current lives. It may be that the best course of action for both future lives and current lives is to pursue the best interest of the currently living. |
