Loopy….


Okay, Mikhail Shubin replies to an Andrew Gelman post with this comment:

******************
“Should you reply all to stop the annoying reply-to-all cycles? I think this is a case on an interesting moral dilemma!
You want to protest against something, but the only way to express your protest is to participate in the thing you want to protest against! The other examples:

* Should you fly to the conference on preventing the climate change?
* There is too many meeting in the company. Should you call a meeting to discuss this situation?
* Should you protest violently against violence?
* You believe the elections, organised in your county, are illegitimate. Should you still participate in the elections?
* You suspect you have COVID. Should you take a public transport across the city to get tested?”
