@LouisIngenthron @pluralistic we do this on purpose, pretty knowingly. the argument is “if we imposed strict liability on decisionmakers at these industries, so their liability would be comparable to that of an unmediated individual making the same choice and causing the same harm, we would strangle all progress, because firms and managers simply would not take the necessary risks.” and that’s not ridiculous! maybe we accept that some eggs need to be broken to make our solar punk omelette. 5/
