If you don’t aim to persuade anyone else to agree with your moral framework and take action along with you, you’re not doing the most good within your framework.
(Unless your framework says that any good/harm done by anyone other than yourself is morally valueless and therefore you don’t care about SBF, serial killers, the number of people taking the GWWC pledge, etc.)
Karthik could also believe that any attempt to persuade someone to do what Karthik believes is best, would backfire, or that it is intrinsically wrong to persuade another person to do what Karthik believes is good, if they do not already believe the thing is good anyway. Though I agree with the general thrust of your comment.
I’m not sure what you’re looking for. I’ve made it clear that I’m not here to persuade you of my position, and I’m not going to be philosophically strongarmed into doing so. I was just trying to elaborate on a view that I suspect (and upvotes suggest) is common to other people who are not persuaded by Vasco’s argument.
I am using reason and evidence to do the most good within my circumscribed moral framework, of which I don’t aim to persuade anyone at all.
