Would you prefer to be blind because if you can see you can also see a dead body?

- Retric 6y agoBlindness is a straw man argument. I am saying for specific content there are limits to optimum resolution. If we are talking high vs low resolution, then no I don’t want to see extremely high resolution in focus pictures of corpses. Do you?
- heavenlyblue 6y agoLet’s be honest, your argument is no less straw man than mine. Why not watch high-resolution images of corpses? People working in medicine do this all the time. You’re clearly making a Luddite argument: under the circumstances of two things being the same but one of them providing a worse resolution anyone reasonable would pick the higher resolution, because you can always go back to a lower resolution but not vice-versa.
- Retric 6y agoI think most people seeing such images are watching documentaries of the Holocaust, news reports of violent crimes etc. Looking away from the screen is a very common reaction, but these shots also tend to avoid closeups because most people don’t want to see it. For a more direct example people turn down gore settings in games because more detail is not always better. A Luddite argument would suggest all media was better at lower resolution, but that’s not what I am saying. Rather specific media for specific people is. Clearly some people want all the gory details even if I don’t. PS: > you can always go back to a lower resolution Having a preference is not the same as having a willingness to edit every YouTube video etc I see.
