    Yeah nice analogy. Thanks for supporting my point. I mean, society has already learned that eating like shit increases the risk of diabetes, which means people are better informed. Just because some fat fuck is dead, doesn't mean society cannot learn from that mistake.

    Remember when I said this wasn't about me, that it was about society in general? I know it's hard, but try to think about it from that angle. Maybe you could come up with a better analogy.

    Be careful with societal knowledge, though. It's not like personal knowledge. Not everyone in the society knows all the pertinent societal lessons that they may need to keep safe. I.e. not everyone in the world knows about diabetes, despite most people knowing such.

    Societal knowledge can be fickle.

    I mean, it may be a long way in the past, but societal knowledge can be lost, either by accident (the Middle Ages) or on purpose (the European conquest of the Americas).
    The on purpose reasons are still ongoing. There have been a near constant stream of genocides happening throughout my life, and each of them is an attempt to force a society and its cultural knowledge out of existence.
