    Do i have to consider every person alive whenever i make a comment? of course, people in poverty will have different ways of doing things and won’t be able to afford things you and I can. I thought this is a given, no?

      you have to consider whether the points you make reflect the reality of billions of people on earth. i don’t know what’s so hard about it

        You would only need to consider that if it would be applicable to a reason view on the statement being made.

        In a topic about AI and smart phones considering every single toddler, child and geriatric for example doesn’t make sense. Considering every single people entirely uninterested in tech would be unreasonable.

        So no, no one would find it reasonable that you would need to consider billions of people in a topic that only really makes sense to a fraction of a fraction.
