human life is a larger goal than logistics.

logistics isn’t a goal; it’s problem that you have to solve to achieve a goal

If we don’t try everything to save a life

human life does have a value cap: would you plunge the world into borderline starvation in order to save a single life? no? well then a single human life is worth less than the happiness of the entire human race… the bar is somewhere above that

you’re trivialising a lot of complex things… public health has similar questions where the value of life and health is measured in aggregate

sorry, but it’s just not logistically possible to save this person

literally what happens every day in public health… resources are not unlimited, and so you have to make choices and trade offs

you only read part of this chain

nope i read the whole thing, its just that

if we can’t bring the aid to the people, let’s bring the people to the aid

is still a logistics problem… public transport is a logistics problem, shipping is a logistics problem, air schedules are a tiny part of the air travel logistics problem

moving people and things to where they need to be at the time that they’re needed is logistics

logistics is a tool used to solve problems. stop using it as an excuse to let people die.

logistics is a problem space that you need to solve before you achieve outcomes: it comes before, not after and you can’t start without solving logistics problems

in terms of distribution of medicine and aid, it’s basically the only problem that needs solving: we have plenty of food, we have plenty of medicine, and not for profits aren’t wanting for these things… they’re wanting for ways to get it where it’s needed
