    It seems your view is that if it’s possible to achieve some amount of your goal without causing harm, you should do that, even if causing a small amount of harm would enable you much greater success in whatever it is you’re after.

    It seems to me that we have different goals.

    manageable harm

    Obdurate.

        The road to hell is paved with good intentions. Maybe get over the idea that human actions are needed in order to conserve the environment.

            LOL, we’ve got to hurt animals by imprisoning them and charging tickets for people to ogle at them, because otherwise bad people will do bad things. I see.

              You’re not very good at thinking beyond immediate consequences, are you?

                You have no idea what I’m good or not good at. Nor could you from this very limited exchange. You just want to find a reason to dismiss what I’ve said so that you can remain unchallenged in your bubble where you’re saving the world and other people are the problem.
