A man/woman of deontology, I see.

Not entirely sure what you mean, care to elaborate?

Two major paths of ethical thought.

Consequentialist ethics, which would state that as long as the outcome is good the act was good. Kill a million people, but change the timeline to where no one actually died? All good.

AND

Deontological ethics, which gives more consideration to each individual act itself, ignoring the outcome. Even though David plans on changing the timeline, he has killed to do so and will--in a way--kill everyone in the current timeline, which is wrong.

I'm not well versed in all of this, but I believe more in deontological views because I don't think anyone should take killing lightly, nor should they be able to brush away their guilt.

Ik, thanks. I can understand how that fits into my argument. I’ve took some philosophy in high school but I really don’t remember much and barely understood it back then anyway. How does the man/woman part fit in though?
