Calibrate Evil on a Log Scale

Not all evils are close substitutes; some regimes and actions are orders of magnitude worse than others. Using a logarithmic scale to rank threats clarifies why one can oppose Trump domestically yet endorse strikes against a theocracy that executes dissidents and fires missiles at civilians. Magnitude‑sensitive judgment cuts through binary 'good guys/bad guys' narratives. — This shifts moral and policy debates toward size‑of‑harm comparisons, guiding clearer tradeoffs in foreign policy and domestic risk prioritization.
