A consequentialist is someone who seeks to connect every conclusion to both motives and intentions. They have different attitudes towards giving up. The judgment of value by linking the beginning and the end also varies. For example, if it is said that a person is born and must die, it is argued that something that is not born is better anyway, or that death is the culmination of life, so it is not negative to die as soon as one is born. They make pessimistic judgments and draw radical conclusions by viewing a microscopic situation macroscopically or, conversely, by examining a macroscopic situation microscopically. Consequentialists see the assistance of those around them as mere tools. Their pleasure comes from winning over others for a plausible cause, and victory is seen as success and achievement. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Architecture has developed in response to the epidemic. The city was designed to mitigate the risk of outbreaks. However, its high population density renders it susceptible to epidemics. A potential solution to this issue involves the construction of a water supply and sewage system, which safeguards individuals from waterborne infectious diseases (e.g., cholera) by effectively separating and burying water and sewage underground. Nonetheless, the advent of vaccines has facilitated the existence of megacities with populations exceeding 10 million people. Indeed, microorganisms predominantly populate the Earth. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
