    And another personal attack on “my narrative”. This statement reveals more about you than me.

      You’re saying we don’t know what such a change will cause - that’s called a narrative. Not a good or a bad thing - just the opinion you’ve chosen to defend. The bad thing is when the arguments you use to defend it don’t hold up to scrutiny.

        I’m not really arguing one way or the other yet. I’m leaning towards status quo with a safe transition as we learn the effects. I really don’t have a dog in this fight, I just don’t think rushing in is advised without more micro examples and observation.

          I don’t have a dog in the fight either, but what difference does that make? I’m a human with compassion for other humans - I care as much about their issues as I care about my own, and I don’t want them to be tied down by prohibitions that don’t make sense. A change can always be undone if found to be problematic; the apathy toward change is what really needs to be overcome.

          Every generation looks at the next one and thinks it’s weird and inferior - humans as a whole tend to believe their own experiences are the best, most logical way of doing things, which is something we need to keep in mind; the status quo is almost certainly not currently optimal, and we should be looking for ways to change it even as our own preferences nag at us to keep it the same.
