• A frog species evolves to be poisonous, making them less palatable to predators.
• A different Delicious frog species evolves to visually mimic the Poisonous frog.
• This creates an evolutionary pressure for the Poisonous frog to change its appearance to less resemble the Delicious frog. The pressure is stronger the more the Delicious frog outnumbers the Poison frog.
Are there any freedoms fought over in America that truly do no harm to others? Most discussions revolve around tradeoffs between harm and benefit.
It seems like "as long as I don't harm others" means "I consider the small harm to others worthwhile for the benefits". And "regardless of harm to others" is using the same approach to come to a conclusion you disagree with.
There's a lot of different ways to approach freedom, but I don't think "I don't care about others" and "I would never inconvenience others" is an accurate binary taxonomy.
