Wittgenstein essentially said there is only counter-evidence. You cannot support an explanation; you can only disprove competing explanations. This was famously expressed as a conversation about heliocentrism. His friend said, "To ancient people, it looked like the sun went around the Earth." Wittgenstein replied, "What would it have looked like if it looked like the Earth went around the sun?"
The shit this guy spits at petitioners is beyond belief, but the fact everyone's with him is incomprehensible. All over some shit he acknowledges he can just do in his kitchen, without commercial support, using the drugs nobody's talking about banning.
Meanwhile any implication of 'would you have wanted someone to prevent your addiction?' goes totally unanswered.
'You're secretly jerking off about abusing power!' is pretty fucking defamatory, yes. You spat a pile of essentialist name-calling to make shit up about the moustache-twirling evil of... acknowledging that kids vape.
Should I respond in kind by insisting you're actually a vaping industry shill with a sob story and some sockpuppets? Because that's the level of discourse you're glibly engaged in.
And then the people whose evils you're screeching about monetized the shit out of it, specifically to hook children.
Again.
The industry is not "a handful of people on a forum," anymore. Elementary schools have anti-vaping policies. The thing you keep calling people monsters for talking about, actually fucking happened.
