In that framework, is it possible to sell someone something (anything) they ought not purchase? Is there such a thing as a “poor choice”?
The answer is yes! Fentanyl has a market. Student loans for a degree in Modern Studies have a market. Impossible health supplements have a market.
Selling products can certainly take advantage of a person.
- perl4ever 8y ago"Fentanyl has a market" Are you saying that a cancer patient ought not to use Fentanyl when Oxycontin no longer is enough and go directly to morphine? This is not obviously a "poor choice" from my perspective.
- dlp211 8y agoNo. How would you even come to that conclusion? They are clearly talking about the black market for the drug.
- perl4ever 8y ago"How would you even come to that conclusion?" The parent comment had a parallel construction where the drug was the odd one out, having legitimate value in some contexts. One implication of that might be that the commenter was unaware of the legitimate value, because if they were aware, they could have avoided the unsatisfactory parallel.
