Semantics again. It is an individual issue, they can solve themselves.
Statistically they won't though.
You are now moving the goalposts again. You were arguing I did not have this worry for other stuff, I explained why, you kept arguing, I showed I had this worry for other stuff
I argued you did not have this worry for things that were objectively killing the most people, and your response to that was to claim you did have this worry about things which was not killing the most people like long covid. I then further noted that you worries about long-covid and climate change share the commonality that they're new, and flashy modes of death, and not the meat-and-potatoes grim-reapers like heart disease that the current science indicates as being the most likely causes of deaths for the people you care about.
Sure seems like you do hope it is, since you keep insisting that is what I believe and feel.
I'm not insisting on that at all, that's just the impression I've gotten from what you said, and am more than happy to be wrong about it.
Holy fuck I love semantic pedantry
Oh come on have a bit of fun with language for a bit will ya that was a self-deprecating joke about viewing one's own statements with charity not extended to others.
I don't see myself as having shifted the goalposts at all, my position this entire time has been that it's important to be very careful about the weight we give to statements like 'climate change is going to kill everyone I love' if we're not going to give people complexes.
I don't even need to think I need to go any further because YoungBelden has already handled the crux of my position here without getting bogged down in the weeds like I tend to.
