Quote from Jason in Michael's Gambit
Jason: Hang on. That judge guy just said everyone here has done bad things. Let's look at this ethnically. Chidi: Ethically. Jason: You guys helped me and Eleanor, right, but we're bad, so you helping us was bad. It's basic consequentialism: the morality of an action is solely judged on its consequences. Chidi: Great. The one time you actually remember something from class. Jason: Maybe I was brought here by mistake, but since we've been here, I just tried to stay out of everyone's way. Chidi's done worse stuff than me. He murdered Janet. He killed my wife! Chidi: I was trying to stop you from doing it! Jason: Yeah, but you did it. He who smelt it murdered Janet.
