> negative human rights did you make that up? I know positive and negative discrimination is a thing, and there was even a fourfold distinction something I don't quite recall about positive/negative punishment/encouragement, sometging about how we learn. So, thanks for the downvotes, I mean, the attention. "Negative right" is a paradox. You cannot at the fundamental level forbid to forbid.
