Do you believe there are degrees to hypocrisy?
Or is hypocrisy just is; a "all or naught" issue?

11. Hrmmmm.....
but wouldn't machines be the only factor in ensuring that brain death doesn't become full death?

2. Yes, but the worst kind of hypocrisy that I've seen has two polarities.
1. We're well aware and don't care. In fact, we're having great fun.
2. We have no clue that we are worse than what we condemn.

3. Quite.
#1 is human nature.
#2 is circular logic from the perspective of a two-way mirror.

8. #2 is ignorance, an inability to see that they are being worse than what they condemn.
Rationalization is seeing that one is being hypocratic, but justifying it somehow. Which does not change the fact of hypocrisy.

6. Then why do pregnancies have trimesters and some people claim to be "born again"?
:7

Also, who is unique? Everybody wants to be the same.
