2021-11-16 19:21:48 +0000 UTCYour NFT about responsibility to and impact on one person (your child) vs. the world made me think of a book about Paul Farmer, Mountains Beyond Mountains. Farmer is a physician/anthropologist who is most famous for working in Haiti. In the book, he talks about carrying a photo of his own child, and also one of a Haitian girl who has an easily curable disease---to remind him of his work and responsibility to all these other children. Some people at the time were not kind about it, as I recall--- saying that he didn't see his own child enough (his wife lived in Paris with the child, while he traveled for work all over the world). Here's an article about him. Before I had kids, i thought i would feel more responsibility to my children, but actually, now I feel my children's eyes watching me and know that in order to care for them, they have to see me trying to have an impact on the world. So I guess just more responsibility all around. https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2000/07/10/the-good-doctor

2021-11-14 23:53:33 +0000 UTCHallo! Sorry, fixed now!
2021-11-14 18:09:01 +0000 UTCSeems perfectly coherent to me, moral culpability or being responsible for something may very well be a human invention, a kind of rudimentary and purely hypothetical system of thought that allows for the understanding of human laws that in turn make possible the complex behaviors of cooperative societies. On casual reflection while I procastinate grading stuff, there seems to be a spectrum of how deep culpability goes to me, with some socieities and some families within societies finding it more or less useful to hold people responsible for even expressing emotions or having emotions in the first place. Definitely a cool theoretical string to pull and see what unravels.
