"I might not do 100% of the good I set out into the world to do, so I might as well actively cause harm" is not a winning moral argument. I do not understand why it's being advanced as a serious position worth considering.

I started reading Fara Dabhoiwala's book about free speech a couple weeks ago and found it to be really good. I got about 50 pages in and put it down because I promised myself I would finish a couple other ones first.

The most horrifying part in their "consolidated reply": they agree that they could in fact cause permanent eye damage to people using medium-sized telescopes. WILD.
