it's not even that you're wrong
like it's a perfectly fine point to make within the conversation you're having but the fact that you're engaging in the conversation at all is the deficiency. and it's not that given your position, it's unreasonable to do so, but that's just a further indictment of the position you've ended up in. sometimes there's a voluntative aspect to that position, and inasmuch as that is the case, you can be said to be culpable, in a sense.
i don't care about the morality, i care about the aesthetics. the lack of beauty in the cultivation of your character, the
circumstances you find tolerable to exist in.
