Seems to me, that even simply being 'aware of something occurring, lends effect, responsibility, and voice, to the listener.
Though, the 'magnitude of effect, voice and responsibility varies.
Sometimes, I think on people in different times and places as aliens,
I've heard of a trope once, called Blue-and-Orange Morality - TV Tropes,
How shall one judge an alien?
If man's a mix of nature and nurture,
Nurture being far enough removed,
Disquiets one's expectations.

Did Faux reincarnate as 949havoc?
Though I sometimes think, America's unravelling string, will 'be its inclusivity.
What does an existence merit, from those responsible, if only for one's existence?
Is it society or blood, where one looks in askence?
Why do people care about some group slurs, but not others?
Connotation, I suppose, in relation to the severity of the groups status or past.
Even 'if a different slur were said with more venom, the connotation holds greater weight, often.
I wonder how much a work needs to change, to avoid copyright.
Though I don't really 'get Hegel, I'd suppose 'humans would have end points.
Less complex animals do after all, I'd suppose,
Though even those less complex animals, behavior 'changes depending on environment,
Humans though, one of our main characteristics I'd say is 'changing our environments, hence adding more complexity, as our behavior changes in the new environment.
Still complexity is just a word,
But is Pi complexity, or an error?
To the point though, just rambling about,

The way I understood the concept, though I may not have understood the concept.
Is that a certain behavior or action will reach peak efficiency.
Wolves hunt best by certain methods, there's a most effective way of shooting the ball in basketball. a most effective way of painting a room, A Democracy or Dictatorship runs best by certain conditions and methods.

@Lemming
A reasonable concept.
Though, does a modified action become a new action.
Is every action frozen in time?
And is every new action relative to a separate moment in time.
Random thoughts.

@zedvictor4
Even when one's actions are modified, playing baseball, is playing baseball.
Though certain methods will see more success than others.
I suppose when we 'consider the action, then yes, every action is frozen in time,
If you think of the action as a set circumstance,
Even individuals are frozen in time, if we stop and consider that individual at that moment in their life, who they are, how they are different from the individual 'now.
They're different people, see.
I'm unsure about time.
Though I don't consider myself a supporter of The Confederacy, I dislike the hostile tone and arguments some modern individuals make of them.
In a similar vein to my dislike of some Anti-Theist tones and arguments, I suppose.
Or politics, on either side, at times.
I dislike derision, demonization, caricature, mockery, poor reasoning, a lack of understanding, or acknowledgement of another person's view/point.
Though I'm certain I'm guilty of such myself at times.
YouTube clip just happened to pop into my mind today, specifically, the last few seconds of it.
I recall seeing this in High School I think, history class, last few days of one of the school years.
I don't think much of these show trials, set about showcasing how morale and 'great self-hating whites are in convicting white people for supposed crimes.
I'd think 'more of the cases, if they didn't give in to mob threats,
If they made the situation, not the individuals 'race, the case.
Though I 'understand retributive justice, I don't 'think much of it,
Especially when I think it's measure or type misjudged.
Such 'sympathy, for 'intentional criminals, resisting arrest, and meeting ends, unsurprising of their behavior.
Vs accidents, though accidents of such scope that 'do require action be taken on those involved. But I don't think much of the scope and racial prism.

"If a communist country invaded the US, how would I be able to tell who is the enemy and who to fight? Why would I even fight? What would I be fighting for? What would I be defending?" sadolite #95
Uniforms, language, accents, looks, reconnaissance and identification, orders, 'Depending.
Might fight, might not, depends on one's nationalism, patriotism, skin in the game, personal grudges, what you stand to gain, be it honor, money, adventure, freedom.
, Just my take.

Communism is a thought experiment.
Though sometimes collectives get inappropriately labelled as such.

Well, even if it'd been a Democracy invades America, my answer would have been the same.
Hm, I've been a bit too sarcastic recently, I should work on this.
Sometimes when I have vegetarian thoughts, I have a sudden worry that even eating sunlight, would be immoral.

So you never thought ‘Oh that’s random’?
I wonder if one could make a business out of snapping up doctors, banned from practicing medicine,
And simply giving them a different place to practice said medicine, legally,
Charge people cheaper rates for medical care.
I'd rather be an evil entity, than a good nonentity.
I think.

@Lemming
Why would people go to a place where unlicensed doctors will give you advice?
-->
@Intelligence_06
Well, the doctors would 'still be licensed in 'those places,
If they were cheap,
Or willing to do surgeries others would not,
Had a high rate of positive reviews by patients.
How would a sphinx cut their own hair?
Or various other human headed creatures, without hands?
