Well thats about as neutral as you can get on the issue, I can respect that, and I dont think your perspective actually does drive animal deaths.
Do you carry this perspective just for yourself mainly or do you think that it would be better if more people felt similarly as you?
Its an odd question but I ask because sometimes I struggle between an idea that works for me personally but would be mayhem if everyone else thought that way too.
i do think it would be better if everyone took responsibility for their own actions. i don’t see how we can function if that isn’t how we assign blame.
Its difficult because its not hard to find good examples of when people have done awful things, but nearly anyone would in that situation. Does it excuse them? Of course not, but its clear its not as simple as “everyone is the master of their own will”.
I also find it incredibly difficult to reduce nearly any situation down to such simple variables that are so easily compared. Should I hold someone responsible simply because they are predisposed to being controlled by others? Theres plenty of adults who are old enough to be responsible for their own actions but that are mentally immature for whatever reason.
Its a nice idea and I like the simplicity of assigning blame in the way you do but I dont think it would hold up if scaled up societally, at least not without numerous caveats and exceptions.
i doubt it. i have drunk a lot of soylent and huel in my time. i’m open to all kinds of food, i just buy what’s at the corner of Cheap and Convenient
