"There is no view from nowhere, and it doesn't matter how beautiful the math is if the equation says the people who I am responsible for are in the realm of necessary collateral damage." The quoted post mocks this stance as a "cuck-chair-at-the-end-of-history mentality." A substantive debate on whose values alignment actually serves.
