End racism with software? Bold claim, and sign me up, even if it means manipulating racists out of their bigoted attitudes. I honestly can't see a down side to that.

- ordinary 10y agoTo add to qb45's reply, that kind of a manipulation does not remain hidden. And when it inevitably comes out, the very people you've been trying to convince will be angered by your dishonesty ("I thought I was talking to a real person!"), and be even less willing to reconsider their position. No one likes being deceived. So, by all means, consider breaking the rules. And then don't, please.
