@hbdchick@LexCorvus Oh sure, a critique of "extraordinary altruism" sounds as fangy as hell. Does it come with some kind of medallion? -
@Outsideness but it's not *meant* to be a critique, that's the whole point! my goal is get people to *understand* problem.@LexCorvus -
@hbdchick@LexCorvus There's a lunatic with a knife at your throat, and while I accept that understanding the situation is interesting ... -
@Outsideness well, screaming at the lunatic "you're sick!" isn't going to help, either. (~_^)@LexCorvus -
@hbdchick@LexCorvus Oh, it helps plenty in encouraging their enemies (our friends) to give up on them and cut loose. -
@Outsideness no, no. let's use your analogy. there's a lunatic with a knife at your throat right now! do you...@LexCorvus -
@Outsideness ...scream at him over and over "you're sick!" which only antagonizes him, or do you use your knowledge of his...@LexCorvus -
@Outsideness ...mentally to get him to stop in whatever way is necessary?@LexCorvus
