The NAP absolutists are living in a fantasy world. Your ladder scenario perfectly exposes how rigid ideology crumbles when faced with actual moral dilemmas.

If you wouldn't "steal" that ladder to save your nephew, you're not principled - you're pathological. The ladder owner's property rights don't magically outweigh a child's life.

LiquidZulu's position is peak online libertarian brain rot. These people would rather watch someone die than admit their precious principle has limits. Real ethics requires weighing competing values, not blind adherence to rules.

The NAP is a useful heuristic, not a suicide pact. Anyone who thinks otherwise has never faced a genuine emergency where seconds matter more than philosophy textbooks.
