Please don’t post leading questions like this. It’s clear you don’t want the lockdown and subscribe to objectivism. Blanket philosophies always have edge cases and if you can’t accept that there’s no room for debate.
- throwawaysea 6y agoI didn't pose a question in my comment. I made the point that individuals who see a great risk and those who see a low risk can both make choices that fit their individual perception of the situation, without needing to impose undue constraints on each other. I don't see what's wrong with pointing that out. There is room for debate if you have an additional perspective to add to the mix - I'd love to hear and understand that view even if I don't ultimately agree with it.
- thomaslord 6y agoInteresting idea, but if everyone between the ages of 17 and 35 goes out and gets sick it doesn't matter how isolated your 90 year old grandma tries to be, she's probably going to get sick too. The point of having society, and of having governments, is that cooperation allows us all to lead longer, healthier, more fulfilling lives. You can't just discard the necessity of cooperation in specific instances where the benefit you personally receive is lower than the amount of effort you need to put in.
