Huh? Why so defensive? What am I hoping to achieve? This is a discussion forum.. I'm hoping to achieve discussion. I'm not trying to change your ethics. I don't think I already know your answer, and I wouldn't have a "rebuttal" since there's nothing to rebut? I wasn't aware we were engaged in a debate. I was simply asking where you think society would end up if we were to adopt your philosophy. I wasn't making a value judgment about what I imagined you'd say. When I explained that my "simulation" led to a shitty place, I wasn't presuming you'd agree it was shitty, and I wasn't asserting my simulation is likely to be more right than anyone else's. Sometimes I stretch my neck out and try to have an intelligent conversation with people on here, as I would with friends. It's almost always a mistake. It's like a shark tank in here, everyone trying to prove everyone else wrong, and everyone assuming everyone else is trying to prove one wrong.
