  • Hate when they curl and hate when the treatment is so poor you can’t read them or make out the art. I do like a lot of the newer premium treatments that don’t have those issues, and those are nice. But I specifically avoid “standard” foiling for singles, and I’ll even pay more in the rare case that foils are cheaper.

    Oh, I agree. I’m very glad they’re not mutually exclusive! But neither imply the other, both are virtues that can be pursued independently, and I believe that pursuing both at the same time is very “good.”

    So, the closest thing I’ve had to a childhood hero is Spock from the 60s Star Trek show. As I’ve grown older and more aware of of the world around me, I’ve realized elevating rationality to a virtue by itself isn’t enough to form a coherent ethos. In fact, I think individuals are actually very bad at rationality. Everyone who puts rationality on a pedestal, from Zizians to SBF to Reddit atheists to Elon Musk to Randian libertarians, is really just forgetting how subjective rationality can be.

    I firmly believe that compassion is just as important as rationality when it comes to building strong, honest societies. You need both. We want ethics that are internally consistent, sure, but rationality and internal consistency don’t themselves give ethics purpose.

    Putting aside the discussion about bodies and objects, the primary concern is consent - which also applies to objects anyway. Would you steal a dead person’s wallet “because they don’t need it anymore”?
