These 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!
