Again, how's it like in your world? If you think you're entirely in control of your actions, you're apparently a member of a different species.
I never said I was entirely in control of my behavior. I said that I am responsible for my behavior. That if I lose control, it's on me.
There's a difference, and an important one, I'd say.
I don't think personal responsibility is a useful way to view large group reactions to things, either.
Why not? What's a group but a collection of individuals? If I want to play game X and you want to play game Y, it's our individual views that are at odds. It's me and you... not games X and Y... that are in conflict.
"Perfectly rational choice." So again, what's it like being a member of your species?
It's a perfectly rational choice to make, is it not?
That people may be unable of making that choice isn't in doubt... you seem to be thinking I'm arguing something I'm not. People don't always act rationally.
I just don't blame a game for when they don't.
