> But by and large a lot of society is controlled by a lot of individuals making either consciously or unconsciously making choices to act or not act. You can't unconsciously make a choice. This is patently ridiculous. > "The world has moved on" to me says enough people decided collectively X was better than Y. Great! It's amazingly fascinating that somehow each of these individuals somehow chose the alternative. They chose alternatives due to preferences! And those choices included not watching broadcast television (or at least ignoring it). And you're one of them. Congrats, you're part of "the world." I was clearly speaking about "the world" as things outside of my control. You again have failed to address the specific scenario I made in an ingenious manner. This is very much like the motte and bailey tactic of argumentation. https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Motte_and_bailey https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Motte_and_bailey > And thus my point, not acting is itself a choice that has consequences. Your point is obvious. It is ridiculous that it somehow "proof" that you are right. Lets go back to the core argument. Just because you don't take action at a particular time doesn't mean you are supporting an existing system. People like yourself need to understand the difference between accepting the reality of the situation and supporting the status quo.
