Not wild about bumping a thread gone bad (er, gone worse??),
but I find this question really intriguing. For me, it is bringing a discussion of Kantian ethics (and the controversy around universalism) into line w/one about EV. As you probably know, Kant proposed the following formula for deciding whether a given action is moral: can you will it that this action be implemented as a universal law, to be carried out by any person at any time, in any situation?
The question just opened up a zone of thinking where the controversies around this line on ethics can be analogized to poker. That doesn't happen every day. Thanks.
