On: Hackers extorted $1.14M from UCSF

We can't survive in a society where min/maxing benefit is the sole form by which we determine whether something is the correct action or not.

I am sure you would agree that gender-based abortion, deforestation, and infinite copyright periods could be seen as "rational" to people in certain societies and certain economic situations. It doesn't mean that we should let such actions go without comment.

I totally agree with you. I was responding to "It's not irrational".

Doing the right thing isn't always rational from a direct comparison of objective metrics.
