Makes sense mostly , but there is no compromise here . These people will never stop , and the more people they hurt , who knows what would happen . Maybe that starts a cycle that propagates more sociopaths and therefore more heads to the Hydra . In this situation , if we ' re judging these people by their morals opposed to ours , then no child can be left in the hands of these monsters . A policy of nonaggression will not yield results ever . However OP , you ' re also right . We can try to protect the children . The most that can be done is expose the locations of the rings and hinder the trafficking without getting ourselves killed . We simply don ' t have the numbers to confront this directly . <| sep |> Okay , but how is doubting Thomas antiscience ? That story doesn ' t say science is a lie , or that you try to find out how the universe works . Friedrich Nietzsche once said something like science can do only answer how not why . There is no meaning in science just description . Science isn ' t the only lends one can or should look at the world
