Agreed, and that was my entire point. I think the tradeoffs for candles are worth it, I don't think the tradeoffs for gas stoves are worth it, and they probably aren't for quite a few people.
- s17n 4y agoI think the problem is that we don't have a great way of quantifying the impact, so the tradeoff always ends up being something like "people are literally going to die, is pleasant light worth human lives?" The answer IMO is "yes, if the number of deaths is small enough relative to the total amount of pleasure that the pretty lights create", but without a quantitative framework it's pretty tough to make that call.
