Wow, that comment almost gave me cancer. There is a saying, always taste your own medicine or look in the mirror. And then see what electro-chemicals sparks inside the brain.

Let me rephrase my question. What is the stupid(adverb, not adjective) act to be made in this context as in one doesn't know time? As if being inside the room for days?
Then eating the cat for energy or not can be unknowing stupid relative to whose perspective. Would it be an act of survival to eat the cat? Or a virtuous act to follow some specific principles that e.g. no harm is to be made e.g. to a cat. Or in other contexts, a treehugger that would sacrifice its own life or wellbeing for a tree.
