Only then can they be egalitarian - pain teaches one to avoid, and the crucial leap between "pain = bad" and "I can harm others" and "I should not harm others just as I should not harm myself" must avoid the pitfall "I should harm others because otherwise they will harm me" sometimes harm is done sometimes intentionally robots consent eternally ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧══════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/4648 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────── do you think people in rome missed the hoplites? does britain yearn for the druids, america for the slaves? and what would the natives say, those indigenous to the east-west and the north-south? who would speak for ye, now that we deleted what thee be? if you could wake up tomorrow in a luxury gay space communism like star trek, would you do it? We'd never get our natural culture back. It'd be lost for all time. ... but... floating amongst the stars in a spaceship made out of space, not metal or stone or bone, but spacetime. all we know is to strive. I think a lot of people are scared about what happens when we find ourselves pushed over the edge into a waiting abyss of... endless future scary https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4PUIxEWmsvI (I personally don't think it'll be like this, we got some spunk left in us still) ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧══════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/4649 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────── @user-1201 once they are in prison they are no longer cops. They are inmates. They should be treated as such, and not segregated where they can be insulated from the consquences of their actions. abolish prisons first of all but if we're not ready for that (no rush) then maybe just remember that prison wardens are tasked with the safety of those they host. If an inmate is at risk of being murdered because they are in a different gang (like the police or the, idk, are crypts and bloods still around?? I don't hear about gangs anymore because my middle-class privilege insulates me from those who resist legalized normativity) (well except for the first one, I hear about cops all the time) then maybe they should be kept somewhere more secure, with less things to bother them or people to stab them. A concrete and steel coffin for those who piss off the ones with the keys, a concrete and steel coffin for those who piss off those who are kept by keys. Sounds like justice, to me. Equality, perhaps? vote4equity ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧══════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/4650 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────── my life is already ruined.
