Can you also make a defense for racism using the same parameters as you want the aforementioned points reasoned out with? Sometimes, logic needs to be manufactured hand-in-hand with what's morally right. The transition from slavery, to equality wasn't easy, and neither was it done overnight.
I'm not saying a borderless planet would work out; at least not anytime soon. But we should at least be working towards it.
We know that AI could go bizzarlly wrong, but we still work towards achieving better results everyday.
- throwanem 10y ago> Sometimes, logic needs to be manufactured hand-in-hand with what's morally right. The point I'm making is that not everyone agrees with you about what's morally right. In fact, most people in the US, at least, do not. If you want to effectively advance your cause, it is worth finding an argument for your claims which does not rely on moral precepts your interlocutor may not share. As a side note, likening the existence of national borders to the institution of slavery is probably not such an argument.
- Curious42 10y agoIf you take it with an open mind, you'll see that my intention is not to liken them, but to demonstrate that not every cause has an inherent, intrinsic argument. It's not a surprise to me that it's most people in the US that are against the idea of this, because they fear that instead of the datum of other countries moving up, that of USA will go down. This insecurity always annoys me. But take everything I say with a grain of salt because I do not consider myself patriotic whatsoever, and in that sense, my thoughts are in the opposite direction as those of Americans, who, through personal observation are the most patriotic people I've come across.
