'I'm a consequentialist so the intention doesn't change anything for me.' It also doesn't provide any useful predictive results, noe is it a complete and sustainable philosophical system. If you think sitting on the sidelines and taking pot-shots at people who try and fail is good because the successful ideas were 'obvious', you underestimate the degree to which luck and timing influences success - the saying is 'hindsight is 20/20' - it's very easy to see something fail and say, "well obviously!". It's the same trap for cynics - if you take the easy path to being 'right' because 'everyone knows', it becomes a lazy and self defeating intellectual exercise. It isn't superior, it's a shell covering an inferiority complex whereby you 'win' by not playing. It's harmful to yourself and others. I suggest some exercise, a yoga class, maybe make a few friends irl. I'll be your friend if you need one. People aren't that bad; but we're all close to sanity's edge, and we all actually need each other. Please reconsider, friend.
