    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Mutual advantage requires reciprocal contribution; including non-contributors violates the exchange principle that justifies cooperation.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Systems relying on voluntary participation collapse when non-contributors receive equal benefits, destroying incentives for actual contributors.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Calling incoherent policies 'generous' masks a logical failure rather than celebrating moral virtue.

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.Mutual advantage can include benefiting those unable to contribute (children, disabled) without logical incoherence—capacity varies legitimately.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Strategic inclusion may generate greater overall benefit through stability, social cohesion, and reduced conflict costs than strict contribution-matching.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Generosity by definition transcends rational self-interest; calling it incoherent conflates it with prudence rather than refuting moral intent.
