3 blog posts that try to challenge our paradigms:
1. Instead of imprisoning convicted criminals, why not torture them instead?
2. If we're going to have liberal policies aimed at counteracting the unfair luck inherent in the circumstances of people's birth, why confine this within national boundaries? Why not redistribute all wealth throughout the world?
3. "Given how little it seems to cost to have someone killed, why don't more corporations have their competitors' leaders knocked off?"
I feel like all of these arguments -- to the extent that they're being made in good faith, which is questionable -- are making the same intellectual error...

UPDATE: See the comments on this post and this post for discussion of what the error is.
