This is an annoying take that comes up every time. It’s like saying people die because a critical organ stops functioning. It adds nothing to the discourse and tends to imply that it’s lack of will power.
- filoleg 4y agoHow is this analogy even supposed to work? When you eat too much, you can choose to eat less. When your critical organ is about to stop functioning, what can you even do? Use that organ less? Either I am missing something major in that analogy, or it is just bad.
- 0xcde4c3db 4y agoI think you're missing the point of the analogy; it's not about assigning culpability for health problems, it's about illustrating the kind of comment that centers proximate causes when the surrounding discussion is about root causes.
- tomjen3 4y agoIt wouldn't have to come up every time if lots of people wouldn't deny it.
