Not all of us are used to them. I think they are absurd, and I'm never going to live my life wearing a mask. It's completely unnatural.

- severino 5y agoI get your point. But pollution is completely unnatural, too. We got to a point where few things are still natural in this world. I don't know if masks are effective against this kind of diseases, but I guess those 9M who die prematurely every year would have chosen to use them.

- ben_w 5y agoI don’t think I’ve ever really felt any emotional resonance to an appeal to nature. Not even in my hippie-Wiccan late teens and early twenties. But I’m endlessly curious about how minds work: Is “unnatural is the same as bad” a foundational position for you, or is it that you dislike masks and this argument is a metaphorical soldier you’re sending out to do memetic battle for you to support that dislike? Or is it something else entirely? Like I said, I never “got” this type of appeal. The unnatural is too commonplace and too useful.
