It does, actually. Ice cream can put you at grave risk of brain freeze.

Good point! Then again, I don't think some flavors result in less brain freeze than others.

Even breathing has downsides.

True as well, every breath destroys lung cells.

If you want to be philosophical about it, consider this: If there weren’t pros and cons, you wouldn’t be making a choice at all.

This, however, I'm having a hard time to agree with. Come to think of it, I'm not even sure choice is something natural, but that will require some deeper investigation to ascertain. In a fictional natural state, when looking for a place to sleep, would a "family" really (have to) make a conscious choice between this cave and that one?

I'd reckon it's more natural to try and avoid any nut-kicking, but hey, that's me.

Very interesting viewpoint but it doesn't quite seem to apply when choosing flavors at an ice cream parlor.

socialism

any of various egalitarian economic and political theories or movements advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods

Not anyone. Billionaires will not be helped by this.

Spoiler: they won't

So that was what I'm advocating, sitting around and waiting? I'd have to ask you again to copy/paste that bit...

You do realize It's not binary, right?, It's not a choice between voting for democrats or sitting around waiting.

Am I? Please copy/paste that bit.

You're advocating a reset without a change to the underlying system. Expecting a different outcome is insanity.

All that does is make a whole new generation of politicians become attached to their privileges.
