Since I don’t live in any other place why should I care at all about places outside of Edmonton ? Just because I see these places on the news and lots of people on screens from places outside of Edmonton that’s not a good enough reason for me to care because that doesn’t affect me physically the second I turn the TV or the smartphone screen off those people from those places outside of Edmonton and those pictures of places outside of Edmonton disappear.

Actually you live in a simulation, they simulated Edmonton but then they ran out of budget, so they had to stop there and they didn’t simulate the rest of the world. So there are no places outside of Edmonton for you to care about. When you try to leave Edmonton, sometimes you will hit invisible walls and then you won’t be able to go any further. In case you remember going to other places in the past, well those are just implanted memories, that’s why they are so fuzzy.

You should care about your neighbor the United States to the south, we might decide to annex all of Canada with Edmonton along with it.

My point remains the same until that happens if it even happens then I have no reason to care and even if that does happen would Edmonton change in any way or would Edmonton be the same ? And would it affect my life having to survive in any way that would be different than before ? if it doesn’t change Edmonton and if it doesn’t change how I survive then yet again I have no reason to care even if it does happen.

I guarantee if we annex all of Canada with Edmonton included things will change the worse for you guys up north. Something to think about.
This is a fair point.
Why should someone care for places outside Earth? Why should we care for what happens outside our skull? Why should we care for anything other than our soul? Why should we care for moments other than the present?
It’s a good question

You shouldnt.
Unless ofc you have something like a Davos fed ideology spreading across the planet regardless of borders “coming to a theater near you”.
Then you probably should see, check and understand what the very same ideology which already shat your country halfway full, has done in other places across the planet. Probably.
Or not. Who can force you to inform yourself afterall?

In principle no, you are not obliged to care.
As long as things happening outside Edmonton do not impact your life, you have no actual reason to be interested in other places (apart from potential curiosity).

Why did you post this here if you already have an opinion? Do you think people shouldn’t care about places other than where they live? Does that seem like an important message to share with the world outside Edmonton?

I don’t know what you’re trying to say are you trying to say that if the United States took over Edmonton that things would change for the worse or are you saying that things are already bad in Edmonton ?

No you are missing the point it is not just an opinion it’s also a ethics question the reason I posted this is because there is a belief that a lot of people have the news propagates this belief as well that we should all be globalist and care about places outside of the places where we live my proposition as you did understand is exactly what you said why should anybody care about places outside of where they live but also why should people care about places that are outside of the places they live in if those places have zero effect on a person’s daily life ?

Aye but it’s not that they shouldn’t care, it’s because the most important thing to care about is your immediate surroundings.
Same with humans, you can care about others all you like, but if you don’t care about yourself first and foremost, then what’s the point?

You’ve basically killed him, he’s going to go into the woods around Edmonton and kick an oh-so-fake bear cub in the ass right in front of fuzzy lookin momma bear. It’d be kinder to shoot him at this point.

If l were in Canada l would explore more, along with Siberia and the Amazon these are the last truly wild places. Plus Canada is said to be full of eldritch entities in the backwoods. Like, people feeling an uncontrollable urge to cannibalism, evil spirits walking across lakes, the Nahanni Valley etc. There’s probably places with gold nuggets strewn on the valley floor. I wouldn’t be glued to a phone in Edmonton lol.

…what are you talking about, Niall? Situational awareness? That ain’t about caring about people.
This question reminds me of the “would you rather be loved or respected/feared?” thread.
Paired with the question of “If you don’t care about your external appearance, or practice self-care (or whatever that was supposed to be about), do/can you really care about others?” …but perhaps I’m reading too much into it? Maybe it’s because the original post didn’t say anything about not caring about themselves?
Maybe you’re trying to drive home the fact that if they care about themselves, they should care about all persons regardless of location… or whether or not they are in your sphere of influence… and don’t be codependent about it… give people the dignity of owning their responsibilities?
… while also not gaslighting the crap out of people? Does that about cover it?
