Default What's in pet food?

****wit David Harrison attempted to bull****, but was thwarted by Dutch
and George Plimpton and 'tidbit':

[...]
What on earth *are* you getting at?


If your existence was not one of the benefits that makes all others possible


It is not. Existence is not a benefit - by definition. ****wit knows
it, too - he's just trolling and bull****ting.

Existence is not a benefit because it doesn't improve an entity's
welfare - it establishes it. The definition of benefit is something
that improves an entity's welfare, and existence does not.

This is settled ground. ****wit knows he has lost. He cannot make a
case for how existence might be a benefit, and he knows it; he just
can't stop his dirty trolling. He's like the scorpion that stings the
frog: dirty trolling is just ****wit's nature.

Existence is not a benefit to the entity that exists: proved beyond
dispute.
