Why this dilemma matters
Freedom dilemmas weigh personal autonomy against collective protection. Choosing “Yes. Buildings can be rebuilt; people cannot” prioritises the right to choose; choosing “No. Algorithms should not choose which neighborhoods absorb damage” gives more weight to the duty to protect others.
Worth asking yourself
- Would you accept the rule if it applied to you?
