So then this becomes a question of: is it responsible to talk about this with the general "you" as though unhealthy young people or healthy elderly people don't exist, as the parent comment did? To create a perception of AC b

Where I live, elderly people who are used to not having AC (esp. from the time when intense heat was rarer here) often do not appreciate the importance of keeping their own climate controlled. It isn't actually always easy to tell when

I wonder how this may relate to all the pandemic WFH. Where I live, many residences don't even have AC though it's common in offices. However, if you're home during the hottest part of the day and have to wear something that

Sometimes people think it ought to be obvious, bright-line-tests only, to determine what is truly transformative or novel. The divergence you're pondering, if taken real charitably, maybe signals that that is wrong and that it requires

Deciding that "living conscious being" is the category that merits moral status is one framework of justification for veganism – the Western originated-in-the-1970s-one. https://www.bbc.co.uk/ethics/animals&
