Got a philosophical question for you. Probably came to mind after talking with my eldest who holds the view that I have a fairly extreme viewpoint.
My question is this. No. Let me set the stage first. Let’s say you have two friends. We’ll call one “Normal Nancy” and the other we’ll call “Conspiracy Cathy”.
Normal Nancy is married with two lovely children, They are good parents the kids are getting along fine, both parents have jobs. They watch the 6 o’clock news, read the papers, they are model citizens.
Conspiracy Cathy is a bit more Bohemian, reads the social media posts by more radically aligned people, clicks through to read the articles and holds a view that something is not right. That all is not well with society.
These two have been friends since school. One day Conspiracy Cathy learns of a darstardly plan that could potentially be deadly to Normal Nancy, her children and husband. Later that day that are sitting down for cake and coffee and Conspiracy Cathy is mentally debating if she should tell Normal Nancy what she has learned.
She knows the information will upset Normal Nancy. That Normal Nancy will potentially not even click on the link to verify what she is told. Yet Conspiracy Cathy feels she has a moral obligation, a responsibility, to tell her friend.
Conspiracy Cathy has some ideas on how Normal Nancy can avoid the potential tragedy, things she can do to minimise the risk, so her being told is not going to leave her totally devastated, she can be somewhat causative in the situation.
Nevertheless Conspiracy Cathy knows it will be traumatic for Normal Nancy.
If you were Conspiracy Cathy would you tell Normal Nancy?
If you were Normal Nancy would you like to be told?
If the answer to the either question is “Yes” then go to this article and read it to the end.
