The idea of making the behaviors you want easier, the outcomes you want more likely to happen, just does not occur. Like, if you want less reckless driving, make it less necessary or convenient to drive.
You realize punishment is harm, right?
You understand nothing
I'm really not interested in your extremely remedial analysis. I am aware of the various philosophies of law. The idea of making the outcome you want easier just does not occur.
It's all about proximal causes and assigning ultimate responsibility to a person you assume must be evil and not helping them to do what you want even when its something that's usually a function of recklessness irresponsibility or incompetence but just hurting people until the world is better.
The violently incurious crescendo of dunning-kruger that you would take out on others is absolutely disgusting. Everything you've said here is violently stupid, literally violently. Never stop posting. Not for a moment.
I was more so getting at a scenario like The Giver where humanity modifies itself to be more peaceful with itself more than what you're getting at. Of course maybe not to such an extreme like the giver. Anyways I think we could have a better conversation without the name calling but to each their own I guess.
You get that 'the giver' is a dystopia, right? Of fucking course you don't.
Where is he condoning these things or implying he doesn't understand the things he's describing? Reading comprehension bro.
Edit - oh he condoned it in the next comment. Yeah that's stupid. He's not wrong about gene therapy bring socially accepted eugenics though. Hell even genetic testing for pregnancies is eugenics if it results in terminating pregnancies due to various conditions. I don't think anyone would argue in good faith that's a bad thing though.
Yep, I read real good. Its a curse.
There are genuine uses and perils, but this ass clown has never met a torment nexus he didn't feel a compulsion to stick his dick in, and that's exactly the kind of person, aside from Nazis, who's a case for us not being grown-up enough as a culture to touch that technology.
Stupid sexy torment nexus.
