I’m surprised by the disagree votes. Is this because people think I’m saying, ‘in the case of whether it is ever OK to take a harmful job in order to do more good, one ought not to say what one truly believes’?
To clarify, that’s not what I’m trying to say. I’m saying we should have nuanced thoughts about whether it is ever OK to take a harmful job in order to do more good, and we should make sure we’re expressing those thoughts in a nuanced fashion (similar to the 80k article I linked). If you disagree with this I’d be very interested in hearing your reasoning!
