I don't know if it actually makes sense that Charley Pride was killed by singing at the CMAs but honestly people should treat it as if he was anyway Why give people moral points for just being lucky

You beat him so bad everyone, including you, thought that's how he lost his eye It makes you exactly just as bad a person as if that's what had happened, the fact that you randomly didn't actually hit his eye socket in that particular fight means nothing

The whole fucking deal with COVID-19 is without accurate test-and-tracing we'll never know for sure what happened or how to assign actual fault for specific cases But from a moral POV if you hold maskless indoor events and then people in your county all get sick, you did it

This is a whole thing in moral philosophy, "moral luck" The fact that we change our judgment of how good or bad a person you are based on what actually happened, even if the outcome had nothing to do with you *Attempted* murder is a lesser crime than actual murder

Even if the thing that made it "only" attempted murder is just your incompetence or the victim's strength/skill, not any moral choice on your part Or even if it was in fact a perfectly executed murder and it's absolutely pure dumb luck the victim survived

And it's worse with stuff like "manslaughter" The difference between reckless driving being a citation for a few hundred dollars and landing you in prison for life depends 100% on the dumb luck of whether someone else was on the road when you were doing it

And the COVID shit just rubs this in Extremely consequential moral decisions whose consequences can never be traced back And even if they are -- even if you're like "Sure I do risky shit and don't wear a mask but I keep on testing negative, so no harm no foul" -- you're an ass

You know why you keep testing negative, it's not that God loves you or you're such a great person, it's that OTHER PEOPLE are being more careful than you -- THEY saved you from getting infected and you're doing nothing in return

Like the whole old aphorism The Great Gatsby quotes about driving Bad drivers don't know they're bad drivers as long as everyone they meet on the road is a good enough driver It usually takes *two* bad drivers to have an accident

I don't begrudge Wahlberg his career, but I do think he should pay to make sure the people he assaulted are living more comfortably than he is.
