  • save the entire crew specifically because he’s blind

    so you take away a persons autonomy to have the potential to be able to see and live a life with natural sight as you see a use for it.

    You did a 360 there on the ethics and wandered into utilitarian territory reducing people to things.

    You might not define it as a disability but it’s still taking autonomy from someone. They could just as well invent a tool to help save the crew. There is more than one option for things such as that rather than reducing a persons entire definition to their difference and how useful it is to you.

    Human condition is more than their differences or their use to you.







  • Considering how much meat is required to keep a lion fed per day, part of me thinks feeding it to lions would be sensible but on the other side it depends on making sure the meat is cleaned and that the animal that died didn’t die of a cause that would cause internal damage to the lion. Lions on the Serengeti feed on freshly caught food so their catch is usually pretty clean.


  • It depends on why you’re in the games and what is going on with your life.

    It can be an escape

    It can be a break

    It can be an outlet

    It can just be for fun

    It can be an exercise for the brain

    But if it’s not providing any of that maybe that’s not what you need right now. It can also be a thing you need the escape/break from.

    It’s just a thing for spending time without productivity so walking away from it isn’t a big drama. It’s going to be there later when you want it.

    There’s other things that can provide a break or be fun for a while until you find the joy of the game again.

    It also exploits another person’s tragedy to make it about themselves taking away from the tragedy to focus on them. It’s narcissistic. And it’s reductive of tragedy. If speaking of third world problems should only be to focus on them. Not to take something from them for yourself.

    “You should be grateful”

    If it’s about trite platitudes and gratitude, go make a list. Find another way to teach that. When the topic is about someone else’s tragedy, get out of yourself and pay attention to those around you more.

    “I have to remember so blessed when I think of someone else’s tragedy”

    If you need a boost, Count your blessings against your own gamut of success. No need to compare and push yourself in front of someone else’s gamut all just to feel good about yourself.
