   I mostly agree, the interesting option is #3... I thik your perspective is really trying to say "There is no objective measure".. i think that is debatable but we must agree that what is the objective measure is itself a matter of opinion. Its just that one of those opinions is the right one, good luck figuring out which :)

     All three are authoritarian as fuck, so no.

     It's straightforward authoritarianism, i don't hold the objective truth about who is evil.
     
     > Yes, eliminate people the majority think are evil
     
     Majority also do not possess objective truth, and it is unethical to impose their will on everyone, especially when it comes to mass murder.
     
     > Yes, eliminate people who objectively cause harm
     
     This is essentially the same as #1. Most of the time people don't separate "i subjectively believe this person is evil" and "i believe this person is objectively causing harm". Many people believe that gay people "objectively cause harm", these people aren't lying or trying to manipulate, they just genuinely think it's true.

     If instead of just thanos' superpower, you gave me a magic oracle box that would predict with 100% accuracy who would do more damage, i might consider listening to its suggestions.
