Depends on how you did it. Did you strap them to a chair, tape their eyelids open, force them to watch instructional videos?
Ha yeah. clockwork orange isn’t exactly ethical eutopia.
Borderline cases? For the self delusion that coercion isn’t coercion? I can’t think of any.
I was just trying to get a sense of the extent of your belief. There are things you say are OK like pulling a person out of the path of a bus, and things you say are not, like running someone’s life, but what is a case that is ambiguous to you? Stealing a drunk friend’s keys and possibly confining them to keep them from driving drunk? Making drugs or whatever illegal (assuming you’re actually doing so for anyone’s good, and not for police bureaucracy or drug cartels). Banning guns? Forcing everybody to take introductory rationality/philosophy of science classes in high school?
