It's a fact that strong emotions can cloud judgment and result in cognitive biases.

See my comment above in the same thread, the data suggests that OP's view is not unreasonable. Your comment uses charged language like "asshole", "literal slaves", "justify/intellectualize the deaths", etc and you are not providing data to support your claims (only an appeal to emotions).

The data uses a relative comparison of migrant deaths to overall death rate for Saudi Arabia. You are looking for something to console you that "actually the slaves aren't dying at high rates". I'd like to see this death rate for the subset of the SA population that matches migrant demographics, ex: age and gender. Then we can see what the comparable death rates are for healthy young men.

> Your comment uses charged language like "asshole"

I said I wasnt an asshole to preface that I genuinely meant what I said.

> "literal slaves"

They are literally slaves this is factual.

> "justify/intellectualize the deaths"

Again, factual. You yourself claim that you are trying to be unemotional and analyze the situation as I described, "academically".

None of that is factual. If it is - present evidence that:

1. all workers involved in this project are slaves, i.e. trafficked and sold into slavery and are owned as property.

2. OP justifies the deaths and not merely tries to add context and find a reasonable explanation for some of the deaths (which does not exclude possible human rights violations).
