Differences from societal norms

[Edwardo Piet]

Exactly.  That's all.

Didn't claim there was more than that. Pay attention.

If I kill you sedated you won't be able to experience it either.

False analogy. I already have a life, memories, hopes and dreams.

None of which had been put forward as an argument for the value of life. You had talked about being able to experience harm. I pointed out the flaw in your reasoning. How is my analogy false? You preempted it yourself. 

Learn to identify these things before you mindlessly point them out where there aren't any to be found.

Needs more favouring;

- Green energy
- A debate culture, where differing ideas are brought to the table and (short of threats or violence) are not censored just because they're not popular.

Needs more scorn;

- Uh, religion.
- Climate Change denial, and acts which contribute to climate change
- Celebrity-worship. Not celebrities themselves, but this culture of acting like their personal lives are newsworthy and important.

So my question is this: in what ways do your own ideas differ from the society you are currently in?

Any divergence is insignificant, in my case, imo. Standard model.

How closely do you feel attuned to it?

Pretty closely, product of my environment and all that.

What do you think should be viewed more favourably, and what do you think deserves more scorn?

How much time you got buddy, lol?

Each society develops, over time, an idea of what is and isn't "acceptable". This isn't written down anywhere; it just represents a mix of opinions at any given time. These are the norms of a society.

Define society.

The norms of my house (a society of 4) differ from the norms of my neighborhood, which differ from the norms of my city, which differ from the norms of my country, ................

I attune my norms to operate at my comfort level with in the context.

Someone always has to come and get alllll technical....

You have to be able to experience to experience harm.

The loss of opportunity is a harm regardless of whether it is experienced or not. For example, you could not get a job because of a false rumor. You didn't know about the rumor. Nor did you know that you didn't get the job because of the rumor. Even still you were harmed by it.

Fine, define technical and norm. And while I'm at it, define to and all! I understand get.

You sure don't handle being agreed with very well.  What more is there to pay attention to having already conceded that fetuses are the only thing ended in an abortion.

Someone who is never born doesn't just fail to gain an opportunity (not technically a "loss" of opportunity because you can't lose what you've never had)... they don't have to suffer either. And again, if no one was born the world would stop being fucked up. Death=bad, not being born=neutral or good.
