My point is that doing these types of calculations is much harder than you seem to realize.
I do realize that making these calculations is difficult. To be fair, when I first brought this up, I was talking about a completely different subject, in a comment that was already long enough and absolutely did not need a long tangent about the complexities of this added in. Then, I began exploring some of the complexities, hoping that you’d expand on them and you instead chose to view my limited engagement in the topic as a sign that doing these kinds of calculations is harder than I realize. This is frustrating for two reasons. The first reason is that no matter what I said, it would not be possible for me to cover the topic in entirety, especially not in a single message board comment. The second reason is that instead of continuing my discussion and adding to it, you changed the direction of the conversation each of the last two times you replied to me.
It might be that you’d make an excellent conversation partner to explore this with, but I am not certain you are interested in that. Are you interested in exploring this topic or were you just hoping to convince me that I don’t realize how complicated this is?

Sorry about that, your examples pattern matched to what someone who wanted to question contemporary practices without actually questioning contemporary ethics would write.
Thanks, Eugine. I can see in hindsight why I would look like that to you, but before hand, I didn’t expect anyone to jump on examples that weren’t elaborated upon to the degree you appear to have been expecting. I’m interested in continuing this discussion for reasons unrelated to the comment that originally spurred this off, as I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how to measure the ethical behavior of humans. I’m still wondering if you’re interested in talking about this. Are you?

I’d be interested, although this should possibly be done in a different thread.
Alright. Choose a location.
