SERIOUS QUESTION. Trigger warning… it’s dark.

Would killing a child be okay by ethical or moral standards if there was definitive knowledge that this child was going to grow up to be a brutal dictator killing millions of people and cause endless suffering for others?

There is no actual way to know definitively definitively but if there was some sort of a way to know for sure that they would be destined to be evil despite a change in their upbringing or amount of love received. Obviously it’s super hypothetical, but WHAT IF it was possible to see into a crystal ball and know? 🔮

p.s. thanks for playing my WHAT IF game. my mom and my friends always hated my ‘what if game’ questions 😅

how would it be definitive? 

I’m not the same constellation of energies as I was yesterday, yet I remain me. 

certainly 30 years ago I was yet a different set of energies. 

including one who thought about killing people who were abusive. 

as of yet I’ve never snapped and killed anyone, yet I’ve certainly had the opportunity to.

What if the child kept telling everyone his prophetic evil dreams of the future and with his childlike innocence told you to kill him or else he would have no choice but to live out his dreams? Would you kill him? How would we know if he was serious? We couldn’t. What if he grew up and lost all innocence and sense of good and did exactly what he said?

Essentially this is the trolley problem but more intense.

Personally I'd try and push on 'definitive' first... would it definitely happen if the child was sent overseas. Would it definitely happen if the child was kept at a nice but inescapable place?  If it was definitely going to happen then I'd say yes, for the greater good, but I'd have so many questions first.

But laws aren’t what is always best for people and laws aren’t even always what the moral truth is.

Its honestly a tough one. The same way its ‘wrong’ for a normal citizen to kill a serial killer and how the law talks about and has to uphold the rights of even the worst of criminals.
