Thought Experiment – Would You Kill Hitler?
Looking forward to your responses!
Say you somehow were able to travel back to before World War II and the rise of Hitler.
You are living in Austria and working in an art supply store, hired to mix oil paints.
Oil paints, at this time, were mixed by hand for purity of color.
After a year or so of working at this supply store, you suddenly realize that one of the store’s customers,
a struggling artist who doesn’t seem to have much talent, is none other than Adolf Hitler.
Knowing what you know, would you take the opportunity to mix a deadly toxin into his oil paints,
which would kill Hitler on contact?
How would you justify your actions to others, either at this time in Austria or back home in the present?
