God damnit man that is the single best most concise explanation I’ve ever heard. I’d ask your permission to steal it but we’re the same entity so I guess that’s irrelevant?

And that's why this idea could never catch fire on a societal scale, as imagine if someone tried to use this argument on you with your personal property

I don’t think anyone here is suggesting that this line of thinking is any tangible impact on our day to day lives. Beyond perhaps having more empathy for others.

But it seems like a bit of a garden-path way to say have more empathy

The point of the line of thinking isn’t to encourage people to have more empathy. It’s just an interesting thing to talk about. Things don’t have to have a real world application to be interesting.
