I’ve had some potatoes that taste like a chicken that tastes like potatoes.

Removing a threat doesn’t have anything to do with justice. You can punish criminals to deter future crime and hopefully prevent more suffering than you inflict. Inflicting suffering for the sake of vengeance is wrong.

I was about to mention this too. The idea is that you invest it and only take out enough to cover your expenses. People typically use 4% as an estimate for average annual growth in the stock market, so 25x your annual expenses would theoretically allow you to maintain it indefinitely.

For reference, $40,000 annual expenses (including taxes) would require $1,000,000 invested, so that’s an easy reference point.

Yeah, it’s essentially triaging people in need. If money is the limiting factor for how many people you can save, then not using it to save people efficiently would make you an asshole.
