Now, now. Are you implying everyone is always making decisions purely intellectually with no other inputs? People make stupid decisions for stupid reasons all the time. In fact most of the time. That doesn't make it any less of a choice.
- krisives 9y agoIt's as much of your choice to use a heroin needle as it is to buy an iPhone is my point.
- mercer 9y agoI've been a teenager and I've known a lot of teenagers. I can totes see a teenager get into heroin for all sorts of stupid reasons. Because teenagers are idiots [1]. I prefer a society where a stupid decision at that age can be corrected for at a later time. I prefer it over a society that oversimplifies all this to 'choice', going against so much of what we've learned about human nature over the past decades. [1]: Adults are also idiots. People are idiots. Rationality is our weapon against it, but it's so effective precisely because we're so irrational by 'default'. I'm baffled how people can still hold a worldview where 'choice' is somehow a simple concept.
