@jenniferplusplus this specific endeavor is certainly bad.
I'm prone to ignoring goals / desires and focusing on outcomes. Delusions and misaprehensions are not justifications, generally. But, the mental gymnastics one would need to justify this pursuit along whatever grand arch of history we happen to lie on... Simply ridiculous.
I was not trying to shift the focus away from the specific issue. Ones context tends to follow oneself, and I guess I've been on a somewhat fatalistic bent, of late.
