  • You think a person’s worth is tied to their genes. Pretty yuck. I disagreed and explained how.

    For the record I was calling YOU out for linking a person to their genes, just not directly, trying to be courteous to the conversation.

    Keep replying now, and you’re just slapfighting. Not worth it. I said in the last comment our positions are well known and the conversation is functionally concluded.

    I mean if it’s a damaged or failed it’s a bad gene. It caused ms!

    It’s not shitting on a person, it’s discussing a condition.

    I can understand that discussion can lead to eugenics style thoughts.

    “Oh that person has tons of bad genes, they therefore are bad”. That’s wrong though, a person can have a super fucked up body but it doesn’t change their value or goodness.

    When discussing a condition, the genes that improve or cause that condition can be described as good or bad.

    Context matters.









  • I get it. But that’s not conclusive.

    If you’re doing a test and asking people to take vanilla or chocolate ice cream, or none, you cannot know the preference of the none’s.

    You can guess, based on looking at their past dessert choices, but you cannot know.

    Edit if you extended the experiment to say everyone will be served, and if you don’t pick you get vanilla, the most you can possibly say about the none’s is that they aren’t offended by having vanilla picked for them. (Assume everyone will eat the food. It’s the only possible food before starvation or something)
