    The opposite, as it is a privilege to work somewhere without externalities.

      The privilege of ignorance? Because no such thing exists, unless of course you are ignorant of the externalities which is very likely.

      As they say, ignorance is bliss.

        I read it as the privilege of being able to choose a lower paying job (that lets you sleep better at night, be more fulfilled, etc)

        It's a privilege because the number of roles with no externalities are limited

Degree matters. Working at a missile factory is worse than working for Amazon is worse than working for a public library.

    Working at a missile factory could be one of the best/most important things you do with your life. Anti-air interceptor missiles save innocent lives every week in Ukraine, for instance.

    Well, if you are R&D, you may be working on a ~~missile~~ drone project for Amazon. So, one and the same.

    Ask your friendly neighborhood Ukrainian refugees if they agree with that.

    You are stating as fact what is in fact your (naive) opinion.

      The fact is that the degree of harm matters. My opinion is that weapons of mass murder have made the world worse.
