I was thinking the same. :p
My last comment was definitely a final word of sorts.
I think we may just be mutually disinterested in the other’s conversation. I can sense the thing you’re trying to pull me into, and in truth, it would be possible to get me to say “the smoker should stop smoking, as a moral vow to their own betterment, or even to their society’s”—I don’t like smoking—the problem is just that I find this to be so trivial that it is not worthy of consideration. It isn’t pragmatic enough.
I will freely admit that you probably spend more time thinking about the subject matter of moral philosophy—I don’t really study it at all, I’m just a strong believer in justice.
But anyway, I appreciate the conversation. I hope it wasn’t too obnoxious, haha.
I appreciated it too! You weren’t obnoxious, very much the opposite. Curious, patient, thoughtful, well reasoned. It’s obvious to me yours IS a mind that I would want to exercise against. And any discussion rooted in pragmatic outcomes would just be agreement. I think we want the world to be the same.

Well, I’m glad I give that impression, haha.
I believe the same, my friend. I’m sure I’ll see you elsewhere. :)
