Some friendly pushback to help me understand, overfishing doesn't directly effect me, I don't eat fish, I don't live near the ocean. But I'd say it has lots of indirect effects on me. Incentive structures still promote overfishing. What do? What does force mean? Is changing the incentive structure force? Is fines for overfishing, or losing your commercial fishing license force?
(P.S. is know nothing about fishing, this is just to help frame my questions)
Isn't that personification not empathy? Like you're not understanding it's feelings, but giving it feeling. I think it can be moral to attempt to fix the coffee maker. It also sounds emotionally exhausting (for me) to care that much about something that has no agency of it's own.
