136. I'm sorry but if I'm forced to choose between two evils
then I will always choose the lesser. It seems like a no brainer to me. Why would anyone choose the greater evil? Why would anyone sit it out and risk the greater evil winning? You do the best you can to reduce the evil in this world. Insisting on all or nothing is a useless exercise. Allowing the greater evil to win because of this insistence is almost aiding and abetting that greater evil. Obviously we should all work to make the world better but you have to work with the hand dealt to you.

You're the one actually advocating intentionally going down rabbit holes, not I. If I choose the lesser evil, it's not because I like evil or want things to get worse. My motivations are exactly the opposite of that.
