Ubiquitin: “MEno
Even if rare for an individual collectively it isnt rare.”
Now that is a logical response to Meno’s (and to some extent my) argument.
However, you then went on to talk about learning CPR. That wasn’t the original argument. We had been talking about what people who l’maaseh don’t know CPR should do, not about whether or not someone should learn CPR. My point (and I think Meno’s as well) was that if someone does not know CPR, the first thing they should know is to call 911/hatzalah/101 in Israel.
We had not been talking about whether or not everyone should learn CPR. However, regarding CPR, that’s also not so simple. I have had a few CPR courses along the way (high school requirement, college requirement, etc). At least I think they were CPR – I’m not sure – I couldn’t follow at all, and I learned nothing from the course, except that now I am more likely to panic in an emergency because I will feel like there is something I am supposed to be doing and I won’t know what.
