> And besides, damaging someone’s personal property is effectively the same thing as damaging their person. Because property takes time out of a persons life to earn, therefore depriving someone of their property is almost exactly the same thing as depriving them of their life / health
This is one of the most absurd things I've ever heard. Cars are insured, and even if they weren't... this is still absurd. I can't even put into words how absurd it is. So if someone burns your house, it's the same as getting your feet amputated? Or what exactly is your scale? Losing the phone the same as going bald?
- op7 2y agoHaving a house burn down is comparable to 25-75 years(most people get a mortgage) of labor toil loss, which is enough to push most humans to the point of debilitation, or at least they can only do that amount of work once or twice per lifespan. It’s hard to quantify suffering but yes I’d agree the physical suffering toll on their body and mental facilities required to work that long period of time does seem somewhat roughly comparable to the acute loss of a major limb.
