> You don't make decisions in those situations based on some theoretical existential framework. You make them on practical grounds.

Do you actually have this much insight into how all human beings make decisions? Maybe we should nominate you for a Nobel in pshychology.

More seriously, your confident assertion about how everyone makes decisions is baseless. The whole point is to allow people to make their own decisions, and you are denying it based on nothing but the implication that you know how everyone thinks and what's best for everyone.

> You life for you isn't a statistic. It's singular.

And yet you seem oddly confident about how I would decide or what would be best for me to decide.

People are unique. Like snowflakes. In one snowstorm. Oddly you were initially all for statistics. Now you think you (and other people) don't fall into it with respect to decision making.

Your "nobel prize" comment indicates that you must be an absolutist (moral, or some other kind) because you've read my comments as it was the perfect knowledge of the matter and everything related, not just my perception of and opinion on it. That's all it is, do with it what you will.
