    Idk what’s the upside of killing rabid dogs? Most dogs are better than most humans, so how does the math work out there?

      thats a mercy killing. rabies is fatal and the end is horrible.

        Rabies and psychopathy are diseases. The prognosis is terminal in both cases, and death would be a mercy. Rabies is also far less harmful than psychopathy, because it results in less collateral damage. After all, psychopathy is responsible for almost every evil you can see in the world today from famine to poverty and war.

        Again, there is an argument against the death penalty but protecting psychopaths ain’t it.

          No they are not both diseases. psychopathy is not caused by infection or is it communicable. They have no basis for comparison. Also do you know anything at all about rabies progression? Its about the worst disease you can have if you have gone passed the point of no return to treat it.

            Not all diseases are communicable or infectious. Psychopathy is a serious neurological pathology that robs humans of anything resembling humanity. That makes it a hell of a lot worse than rabies to my mind, but of course that’s debatable. Regardless, I’m not sure how ranking one horrible affliction against another makes much difference for this analogy.

              I can agree with that. Its just not a good analogy because again they are just not really comparable things.

                Do you formulate your opinions based on reasons you can articulate or is this just a fleeting thought you’re having?

                  I already expressed it. rabies is a communicable disease. What most people think about with diseases. Diseases that can spread and cause an epidemic. Not like a genetic fault or from personal trauma. They are just not analogous. Or do you want to know about rabies in general from my earlier comment. Someone had a good writeup but I can’t find it but this has it listed pretty well if it remains untreated and one dies from it. https://www.verywellhealth.com/rabies-symptoms-1298793#toc-acute-neurologic-period

          I don’t know, I think presuming you know the reasons and effects of things has led to some pretty harmful outcomes over the years.

            You’re right, none of us know anything. We can presume no facts, nor make even the most salient observations. All social science is false, and nihilists like you are right about everything.

              Individuals can, “collectives” cannot.

              All social science is false

              A lot of it

              nihilists like you are right about everything.

              I am not a nihilist.

                    Ex Falso Quodlibet. Your moral reasoning is inconsistent, which means that you’re either a nihilist or an idiot. I thought I’d give you the benefit of the doubt.
