Actually it does work like that.
Your conversation example is basically saying that even understanding your reasons that I'm supposed to give you a pass because ... because what?
As for stupider, the color of your skin or your sexuality aren't choices. Whether you voted for Trump is. Holding someone accountable for their choices isn't stupid. Hating them for their race, sexuality, ... is.
Your equivocation isn't getting anywhere.
- TeMPOraL 9y agoMy point is that judging a person - a sophisticated individual with complex life history and embedded in equally complex environment - by just few bits of information, is a very stupid thing to do in general. There are situations in which you have no other choice, when few bits is all you have to go on and you need to make some decision. But those situations are very rare. In a typical case, such evaluation is just irrational - few bits are not enough to describe a person in any useful way.
- CalChris 9y agoAt what point do you judge a person because your litany of examples isn't making any sense. All I'm seeing here is an attempt at equivocation.
