This...
So large amounts of death does not end life, life goes on. But interruptions to commerce utterly wipes us out?
...was your challenge.
In light of everything I've posted on the subject and that's your picayune takeaway: Henry is irked about losin' out on some
money.
I ain't wastin' my time on explainin' why
money isn't even in the top ten of what grinds my gears about this nonsense.
Your actual top ten won't change anything.
People have to do stuff they don't wanna, life goes on. It will end.
People aren't allowed to do stuff they do wanna do, life goes on. It will end.
You can just apply your own methodology from the top of the thread to whichever interruption to normal service you object to and discover that in the grand scheme of things it isn't all that massive. If you are applying an argument that puts things into perspective by applying global statistics to particular objects in order to minimise them, that is something you really ought to think through ahead of time, as the same methodology can in context be applied to your own thing. This being a philosophy forum, you should expect that and prepare for it.
If you just want to vent without applying the same tests to your opinion that you apply to other opinions, that is for facebook. Anyone who permits it here is just bad at philosophy.
