It seems that CK message got to me. Somehow, I don’t feel empathy.

Have you reflected on that? The less empathy you feel, the more you are honouring his memory.

And the more you celebrate the way he died, the more his message stays true.

Weird. This started as a shitpost and then got serious.

I chose to try to feel empathy for his children and still denounce gun violence and lack of action to stop it.

    Now hold up. We’ll start having too much fun with relativism if you keep talking like that.

    But even being a relativist, I find being a utilitarian is really helpful for actually interacting with the world. It’s just that whatever formula you use will always be shit from the perspective of another totally legit value system.

    All that to say: Yeah I agree, doesn’t matter if he thought he was Jesus. He was causing real harm to people.
