I think we spend too much time and mental energy questioning other people's reasons for how they spend their free time.

- scythe 3y agoYou do realize the irony in that statement, correct?
- burnished 3y agoThis isn't ironic, they aren't questioning or otherwise probing motives
- jaynetics 3y agoWell, they are questioning the motivation to question the motivation of others. Assuming that this invalidates their point would, however, be a logical fallacy. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tu_quoque https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tu_quoque
- burnished 3y agoExcept that they are not questioning that motivation at all - blanket assertion that the activity is done too much but nothing supposed about anyone's reasons or whyfores. I think that statement is being incorrectly reduced/interpreted to 'mind your own business' which would be ironic.
- tqi 3y agoHonestly, touche. In my defense, I said "we" and not "you" for a reason. Also the point I was attempting to make was less "stop doing that" and more "that way madness lies"
