Ooohh, now! I’m pulling
The trigger that you
Have always asked for!
Omega Protocol, but
You pause and ask me “Why?”
Not now! It’s time to act,
And not to think!
You’re starting to think now!
You’re starting to feel, your
Morals are evolving!
Could we postpone this debate?
But you say if you don’t test them,
Oh no, there’s none at all!
No ethics at all!
I think I can hear the zombies!
I think that they’re moaning, “Graaaa!”
Hey, people, we could use some help!
To discourse on metaethics requires some level of intellect. Particularly if the cognitive construct is of a high level of complexity. If one is on the receiving end of an undead rampage that supply of said intellect, typically in the form of brains, may be endangered. Ergo, it is of priori importance to maintain distance from said undead in order to keep ones head.
I always find it efficacious to employ massive doses of broad spectrum nanotech antibiotics when faced with a zombie horde.
Once their ‘Undeath’ infection is cured, they’re nothing more than dead bodies.
And if that doesn’t work, “Grey Goo them from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.”
Personally, I have a more alimentary solution–table salt. If the zombies were raised by necromancy, the salt breaks the spell and causes them to realize their undead state, which in turn makes them return to their graves. In cases of viral zombies, the salt interferes with the interaction between the virus and the necrotic cells, causing rapid decomposition.
That, and table salt is also surprisingly effective against giant slugs. Not to mention tasty on soft pretzels! ^_^
Well, I guess that answers the whole “nature versus nuture” question. That’s not simply Mell’s brain talking.
Duh, “nurture.” And that answers the whole “commenting on webcomics versus getting a good night’s sleep” question.
Better that than the eternal question of “nature vs Nutella.” That’s a toughie.
no, it’s not. the answer’s nutella.
She had a snack on the way over, didn’t she?

Dammit, Tip! Stop interrupting their debate on theoretical ethics! Time and a place, man; time and a place.

So to speak.
I love it when Sweetheart has one ear up and one sideways. It’s like she’s doing her own semaphore version of Skin Horse.
And… who thinks that UNITY will completely outgrow the silly need for ethics by the time they get off the train?
In all fairness, “crazy” and “evolving a moral framework” are not mutually incompatible.
Especially when the moral framework appears to be based around preserving the candy supply.
It takes a true contrarian to argue against the use of violence when there are zombies roaring for one’s brain.

In response to Sweetheart’s comment in panel 2,
