    OP didn’t say it was good or bad. Just that it makes sense for them because they thought it was what they like.

        That’s not the question. The question is just if you find it to enable the kind of life you value. If your experience is that a system doesn’t do this, don’t support it. This isn’t that complicated lol

          Then OP ought to change the second “to” to “will” to avoid confusion.

      That’s not what “makes sense” means tho…

      If you’re out of gas, it “makes sense” to go to a gas station and get gas, that fixes the problem

      If your parents beat you, it doesn’t “make sense” to beat your own kids because that’s what you think a normal home life is. You’re still doing something illogical, and it’s not fixing anything.

      We can understand why past experiences and trauma make someone make the choices they do, but that doesn’t mean it “makes sense”.

      Fuck man, I understand what trump does a lot of the stupid shit he does, that doesn’t mean it “makes sense” just that I can follow his illogical reasoning.

      Same with those people who started a cult.

        The “makes sense” in the op means that from the perspective of the doer, it makes sense. OP is not saying that it’s “objectively beneficial to all humans”.

        It’s a description of how people make choices.

          Maybe that’s how they meant it…

          Maybe that’s how you interpreted it…

          Lots of people also think vaccines cause autism, and when they say it, they mean it. It doesn’t mean they’re right, it just means they’re willing to put effort in defending their erroneous position.

          Someone replying over and over till the other person gives up, doesn’t mean they’re right. Often it just means the other person gave up explaining and likely blocked them.

            Makes sense for me to interpret what OP said in that way because I find logic and reading comprehension worthwhile for life.
