Agreed. Why exactly would we tolerate damaging and costly violence?
- blackflame7000 6y agoWhat if there were a cost on society associated with things not being instantly settled that manifests as growing and deep-seeded hatred of each other in society?
- teataster 6y agoBecause human nature is something to be tolerated. But yeah, better have kids playing judo than bar fighting.
- throwaway_pdp09 6y agoBullying? murder, domestic violence, child abuse, rape, racism? All these things can be attributed one way or another to human nature because they exist in all human cultures. Should we tolerate them?
- MattGaiser 6y agoExcept swap their wife for the random guy in a bar and we call it domestic violence and punish it with jail time.
- xd 6y agoDV is generally a pattern of varied abusive behaviour ranging from physical, physiological, controlling, coercion etc.. not a one off bar fight.
- tpoacher 6y agoHas it occurred to you that the removal of physical violence does not come for free? It is simply replaced with other types of violence (i.e. psychological / emotional / cyberbullying violence). While I do not condone of physical violence, I would much rather a guy having beef with me to angrily yell at me in person, rather than make up stuff and invite a twitter mob to get me fired.
- apricotpancake 6y agoThe Economist did an assessment of QALYs that show you’re wrong in the sense that net net physical violence is probably worse[1] 1. https://youtu.be/QB7ACr7pUuE https://youtu.be/QB7ACr7pUuE
