<p>I would not like this. This is the kind of change that made google search so annoying. (Eg what if I want to track the history of 'self-driving' vs 'auto pilot' in sales pitches? Or more basically, what if the system wrongly interprets me wrongly?)   Better to support | or similar old-fashioned search engine syntax and dwis and not dwim.</p>

<p>But no one, including the government, is omniscient. This turns all agency into "exploitation", and the only logical conclusion is that all decisions for all people should be made by the most informed. Surely you don't argue that would be a good thing?</p>

<p>Not all laws are are meant to protect people from themselves, most laws aren't.<p>Murder isn't illegal because we want to protect people from the results of their actions, it's illegal because we want to protect people from the actions of others. (Or, failing to do that, punish the aggressors in response) Surely you see the difference?<p>Basically, the argument is that people's liberty should only be restricted up to the point of defending the liberty and rights of others. If an action hurts no one other than its actor, the state has no right to restrict them. People should be free to live in line with their wishes and conscience up to the point of not violating the rights of others.<p>With regard to seatbelt laws, I would ask the same question, as I <i>do</i> think that the seatbelt laws are also paternalism and morally wrong.</p>

<p>This is mindless paternalism.<p>Who gets to decide what is 'predatory' and why do those people have the right to make decisions in place of able-minded adults?</p>

<p>Yes, I think the argument that "discrimination is fine so long as it doesn't result in complete shutout of a vendor/customer" is reasonable. But that argument didn't fly for the cake controversy case, so society doesn't seem to agree.</p>

<p>Why does it change whether it's discrimination or not depending on who does it?<p>I don't see how the distinction is material.</p>

<p>What is your justification for that?<p>If an employer did the same thing, would you argue that's also not discriminatory? Or, to pick a notorious example, if a cake shop only agreed to sell to straight couples, would that be the same? If not, why not?</p>

<p>That's not what he said or implied, he's merely responding to your argument 'Donating any amount of money to prevent people you don't know from marrying each other'. I think you might have a justifiable argument here, but it's not clear at all to me what it is.</p>

<p>This argument seems to be a) intentionally provocative and intending only really to ruffle feathers, not actually put a coherent argument forward<p>And b) about on par with saying "water is evil" because if you drink too much of it you'll die.</p>

<p>I've had recurring headaches my entire life. Have been to many neurologists, none have any idea what causes them, they just give me different pills to prevent them instead. This isn't unusual for headaches, quite often the cause is basically unknown. (If you ask people they'll give you a series of common things, eg water consumption, eating enough, etc, but it's just all unprovable folk medicine) Expecting everyone to "find the cause" is unreasonable.<p>If you have a headache, it's totally fine to take a painkiller. (If it happens on a regular basis, eg at least once a week, it can be a good idea to get those different pills from a neurologist, because the two main painkillers have bad side effects in the long run, but those different pills are just "masking" it in a different way)</p>
