Good question!
Going to extremes tells you if the point is good or bad. Like, heroically defending your families life is better than cowardly running. You do have to look into a mirror at some point in time.
Aristotle was against extremes, and in great favor of moderation. His philosophy revolved around that idea. He was for the majority of people. However, I still wish the meteorites to flash and burn, for people to burn hot, not cold, once in a while, not all.

I don't know. It's all relative really. I'm sure you don't mean to encourage Jared, the Subway guy, to sit on top of a high building with a rifle and pick-off anyone who looks like they weigh 300 lbs and more. That would get a point across, sure. But, the extreme would be too much in trying to prevent obesity. LOL

It wouldn't be using moderation so the point would not be made.

I like the extreme. It's a powerful place.
At the extreme, things are made clear.

Yes and anyone who has raised a child knows this.

That sounds like a failure of the imagination.

The end does not justify the means.

Depending on the issue, sure.

Your question makes less sense than evolution.
