#technically this is vagueblogging but it's vaguing a headline not a tumblr post

[ante--meridiem]

Someone could make the most reasonable critique about not doing potentially very risky things with unknown consequences but the moment they phrase the issue in terms of "playing god" my knee jerk instinct is to want to say the thing is awesome and we should do it as much as possible

#I don't endorse this instinct; as previously mentioned the critique could be perfectly reasonable #it's just the phrasing that I hate #and the fact that it implies the critique is coming from an attitude of people need to Know Their Place rather than reasonable caution #poorly chosen hills to die on #technically this is vagueblogging but it's vaguing a headline not a tumblr post
