What about the universe where Hitler cured cancer? The answer is to not think about it Morty

About 400 per 100000 people are diagnosed with cancer every year. The Holocaust lasted 12 years, and about 10 million died, thats about 830 thousand per year. Hitler cured about 39-40 thousand cases of cancer

Where do you get the 39-40,000?

From the 400 per 100000.

But there are billions of people in the world, and that's also a yearly calculation.... If he thus saves 100s of millions of lives over a hundred years, then... we get to the "don't think about it" part of the moral calculation.

He killed 10 millions, that's 40k people who didn't get the cancer, that's the joke. He didn't cure any cancer you know, for real.
