I only think bad things can be also unethical when they are the result of deliberate or negligent actions/inactions by a person.
I think that’s what I meant by:
Or do you mean that the event is bad and to be prevented, but cannot be termed “unethical”?
They don’t mean the same thing. It is not the case that all bad things must be “to be prevented”.
What sort of event is bad, but not to be prevented?
An event with no superior alternative that can be ethically brought about.
Hm. Okay, so it’s an event that locally has negative utility relative to our set points, but locally maximizes relative to anything we can do about it. Fair enough.
