      Think of it this way. There’s a nice building. It’s a really nice building and it was just constructed according to all the recent safety protocols and everything.

      A bunch of people have been told by the maker of that building that it’s going to collapse soon. And so those people run and try to get everyone out of the building. And of course the people in the building think they’re nuts and don’t believe them.

      The reality is that the building is about to collapse. And the people that know really do need to tell everyone they can. And they need to insist on it and convince them about it in order to save as many as possible.

      Would you not also try the same?

          If the people that were told the building was going to collapse had zero proof, but trusted what the builder said, are they jerks for trying to save people from the building?

              I think any reasonable person would say no. In fact, any reasonable person would say that they were selfish and being jerks for NOT telling others about the impending collapse.

              We even have laws about this in some places.
