Surely there must be a way to let the courts determine legality in every single controversial case. It’s just an optimization problem. We sent fourteen people

We sent fourteen people to walk around on the moon, twelve of them made it, and all of them made it back.
- matz1 6y agoAs long as that way, whatever it is, still involve more than one human, you can't avoid the subjectivity problem. Its not technology problem. Its human problem.
- guscost 6y agoMy point is that there is an age-old institution to solve this problem, called a court. We all participate in a social contract where the court's decisions about subjective matters have the force of law. Where it gets weird is that Twitter also has an explicit user contract with the underlying USA social contract/courts as a dependency! If you could physically live in Twitter apartments, and somehow remain safe from war, why not only depend on the Twitter contract and its moderation system? And that's how we get to the future world of Snow Crash.
