Thanks for this @sivgreyson. I appreciate this framing. I like the shift away from an immediate attempt to understand intention, to the realities of the action. Any shift away from a good/bad binary is welcome.
I find this especially useful for understanding harm on a systematic level where we don’t have the benefit of “systematic empathy” in the same way that, on an individual level, we have emotions (amongst other things) to manage.
This has been extremely thought provoking for me that struggles with consequentialist theory.
Woah! This was powerful. I have been reflecting a lot on harms in my own life recently, so reading this couldn’t have come at a better time. Thank you for giving me a lot of food for thought.
Oh the universe and its synergies. Thankful you could connect to this one. I’ve been thinking a LOT about how to handle harm in interpersonal relationships especially and phew it’s been quite intense. Sending hugs.

Your comment makes me want to write more! Thank you for ruminating with me and connecting with my wordy thoughts and feelings!
