> While only few practice medicine, majority of the people do have ideas about what "valid and just" violence can be applied [...] Double standard. Most people also have ideas about medicine, if only to the extent that they have beliefs about what is and isn't good for their health. An apples-to-apples comparison would be, say, the number of medical professionals versus the number of military professionals. The country where I live (the UK) has, compared with other broadly similar nations, more military and fewer medical professionals, but it still seems to have more of the latter. > for each hour of Mozart's brain developing music there are several orders of magnitude more hours cumulatively spent by others at the same time reasoning for violence. It's the same double standard again! Either compare the time spent by Mozart on music with the time spent by, say, Hitler on "reasoning for violence"; or compare the time spent by everyone on music with the time spent by everyone on "reasoning for violence". Anyway, I think this is becoming less and less productive (and also less interesting to others, if I can judge from the fact that no one seems to be voting us either up or down) so I suggest we leave it here. |
