Is doing nothing a choice, or are passive non-choices still choices?

John said in 2019 that passive choices are still choices, and in 2022 that skipping a cost-benefit analysis means making unconscious choices. Hank calls this true but exhausting to live by, and in 2022 said not picking up trash is half the reason it is there.

2019-04-19	first on record	Hank calls John's point absolutely true but says he can't imagine the world that way; it sounds exhausting.	Making your Nothings into Somethings 00:02:53
2022-05-20	refine	Hank says the person who dropped the trash is only half the reason it is there; the other half is that he did not pick it up. He is not equally morally responsible, but cares about the trash, not morality.	It's My Fault Too 00:00:58
