Yeah, see, the issue with the initial post was the “reason” part. You’re doing the same thing. Clearly he felt he had a good enough reason to kill people. It doesn’t matter if you feel you have a reason or even a good reason to kill people.
There’s no objective truth to having a good reason to kill people. It’s entirely up to each individual what they consider a good reason. And it doesn’t matter if you say no reason is a good enough reason, because it’s up to each individual deciding, not you for everyone.
Sort of part of belonging to a species with individual personalities and no all encompassing hive mind.
Sounds like he had a reason. I consider it an awful one, but it seems he didn’t.
Does it change the fact that people are still killing people for no good reason?

So we’ve moved into “what is the good” territory, eh Glaucon?
I believe there is an objective good, and that people killing in these types of scenarios are not doing it for a good reason, objectively.
We can leave it there, then.
Unfortunately, they don’t seem to live by your beliefs.
