Where did we start talking about weirdtopia?

A weirdtopia. The premises that lead to the reasoning and conclusions here are only premises I could consider reasoning from from the perspective of a weird alternate reality. I certainly don't endorse anything we're talking about here myself but do suggest that they are incompatible with the nice sounding "Whatever you give me it's still going to work out as a loss" kind of moral expressions you mention - at least to the extent that they are embedded in the law.
