That's exactly the response that does not solve systemic problems. It is unconstructive, unhelpful, and most importantly ineffective.

- chrisseaton 6y agoJust don't go to fast food restaurants. Just don't. That's the advice. How much more clear do you want it to be?
- Someone1234 6y ago"Just don't drink alcohol. Just don't. That's the advice. How much more clear do you want it to be?" "Just don't use addictive drugs. Just don't. That's the advice. How much more clear do you want it to be?" "Just don't smoke. Just don't. That's the advice. How much more clear do you want it to be?" This is how you sound.
- forgotmypw17 6y agowhat,s wrong with that advice? we live in an unsafe world... you either make these hard choices, or you suffer the consequences...
- Someone1234 6y agoThese aren't solutions to systemic problems. People like doing stuff that is unwise/unsafe/destructive, acting like they don't (ignoring the problem) and then throwing out dismissing quips isn't even an attempt at a solution. Nudge theory[0] has worked in the past (within the limits of the problems). Dismissing those problems as trivial while waving them away as an individual choice hasn't been and cannot be because it doesn't even attempt to address the underlying issues.

- forgotmypw17 6y agoi can,t solve systemic problems. no one can. each of us can only solve problems locally.
- chrisseaton 6y agoIf there are systemic problems, there's nothing an individual can do about it today, apart from following my advice - abstain. That's the best advice there is today, for an individual. If I was advising a government for how to change things in the next decade I might have some more ideas I could share!
- chrisseaton 6y agoWhat do you think the advice should be? Snacks and fast food are harmful. So don't do them. The same way we say cigarettes are harmful and tell people to avoid them. I don't know how else to dress it up? What are you expecting? The advice is 'don't do it'. Seems hard to pretend it's anything else?
