It's their site and they can do whatever they like, but it's pretty silly. If you want to avoid screens, avoid screens. Don't make your addiction my problem

I'm reminded of the type of recovering alcoholic who impetuously accuses anybody who they know has consumed alcohol of being slaves to the sauce themselves.

"Trump is your president, don't make his problems to mine. If you vote for a shit president then keep him for yourselves and don't let him escape his sandbox." Spot the five differences.

  I can't really spot the similarities.

    > Don't make your addiction my problem Don't make your complaint to my reading. If your annoyed about someone complaining about their addiction, don't read it and certainly don't tell me about your problems when you complain about others voicing their complaints. Get it? Your comment is just telling me what your complaint is: that you didn't want to read the article. Well then don't read it. But I don't care what you read or not read. As you don't care about others addictions.

      That's not it. I dont mind the article. I judge the person writing it because they are being silly. "I think I use screens too much so everyone should use screens less" is silly.

        > Don't make your addiction my problem > "I think I use screens too much so everyone should use screens less" is silly. From my perspective, I see both statements fulfilling what you're saying with: > I judge the person writing it because they are being silly. You are right, telling me not to use a screen because someone else is OD'ing on screens is silly but so is judging them for it - because it still doesn't affect me. But that's only from my, a third, perspective. I might be being pedantic but saying someone is silly because I think they are silly is silly for a third person to read because it's only my opinion without any references or background as to why this might be the case. But that might well be silly to read for a fourth perspective.

        So basically you think any opinion about someone else's opinion creates a paradox? And that's your opinion about an opinion?
