So now you revise your discussion point. Yes, neglect is lack of attention, but again, premediated doesn't mean attention. Where do you find that premeditated suggests attention? What filter are you using in order to come up with such a notion?

Quote:
ne·glect Audio Help (nĭ-glěkt') Pronunciation Key
tr.v. ne·glect·ed, ne·glect·ing, ne·glects

To pay little or no attention to; fail to heed; disregard: neglected their warnings.
To fail to care for or attend to properly: neglects her appearance.
To fail to do or carry out, as through carelessness or oversight: neglected to return the call.

n.
The act or an instance of neglecting something.
The state of being neglected.
Habitual lack of care.
There's nothing philosphical about this discussion at all, in fact, I'd call it nonsense really because it's no better than grabbing three random words and trying to find some sort of odd philosphical tie to bind them in some fashion. I'd even go so far as to liken it to the Revenge of the Nerds scene where the jock smokes pot with the nerds and rambles some philosphical sounding nonsense.

If we can't come up with any real philosophical discussion or even frame this into a philosophical discsussion aside from a philosophical phononeme, this discussion doesn't belong here but is more fitting in nonsense.
