How do we know through the areas of knowledge whether "the end justifies the means"?
Biology
Rosalind Franklin
Big contribution to science
Something very bad ethicaly
Watson and Crick
Physics
Drop something, so it falls
Causation
Hume (problem of induction)]
to what extent can we predict the methods used based on the results and vice-versa? - chemistry & physics examples!!!!!!!!
Literature
The art of thinking clearly
Chapter 20 never judge a decision by its outcome
remember Leti wrote about it
Quantum Physics
particles are everywhere and nowhere at the same time--superposition principle
in order for us to know where they are we subject them to different methods (environments
that affects the ends
here is the thing of how the ends justify the methods: the scientists had only the final result of the experiment and had to deduce how the particles ended in X way due to Y method that was applied to them
Chemistry
NaCL + AgNO3 = AgCl + NaNO3
uncertainty -> difficult to predict
Does the amount of mass in the end justifies the amount used in the first place?
If no mass was lost, yes
Arts
shock people -> censor worth things
woman got hurt and shocked people with her methods
result: what is the nature of the humanity? good or evil?
ww2
they "chose" who lived and who died in exchange of winning the war
"jogo da imitação"

:
End = result
Means =methods
CIA torture
Politics:
US rule against
UN rule
Ethics:
Utilitarianism: utility of information
