What the hell is this head line! I’ve read like five times now! What does it mean!
If you have a problem understanding this headline, the problem is you, not the headline
Baby sabreen, saved from her dead mothers womb dies days later and is laid to rest at a mournful and sometimes angry funeral.
Now it’s understandable!
Super necessary comment bro.
One death is a tragedy 1 million is a statistic. How the fuck is one dead kid world news shit like this happens every day.
Because the kid was killed in an area the Israelis told the Palestinians to evacuate to then attacked them anyway? 🤔 Or that she was still in utero when her mom and sibling were killed in the same attack?
Because humans are fucking dumb and can only hold enough space in their primitive fucking brains for one tragedy at a time. A million tragedies is incomprehensible (and probably fucking should be).
If the goal is to minimise overall human suffering is statistics not a better framework to view such things?
Depends what you mean by “view.” If you mean to quantify, then sure. If you mean to empathize, then no, I don’t believe statistics is a good framework.
Better view in the pursuit of minimising human suffering. To target the most important things to achieve the greatest good with the lowest expence.
I respectfully disagree.
I empathise with you being wrong but objectively you are. What use is that?
What use is empathy in changing human behavior? If you’re not a bot, I don’t know what is.
What a senseless waste of life. And I bet all of these completely avoidable and totally unnecessary tragedies make excellent recruitment propaganda for the likes of Hamas.
