Actually, mainstream superdeterminism would allow us to radically change society and how we view norms. It would lead to radical changes in the criminal justice system for example. It just needs acceptance from people, and there is a lot people who stand to not benefit from these changes in society that are trying to make it harder to do so.
- daveguy 4y agoI'm intrigued. Can you give an example of how mainstream superdeterminism would allow us to radically change society and change how we view norms? From the perspective of current society, superdeterminism and the resulting alternate society?
- Layke1123 4y agoWell for one, we would attribute behavior we don't want in society to genes and/or the expression of those genes in a particular environment. Future treatment would be to note this, remove it from our genome, and see if said behavior is gone.
- thecupisblue 4y agoI assume its by distancing side-effects from personal responsibility. iIt's one of the many reasons favoured by highly intellectual people that lack empathy - it is based upon perfect rationality and assumption everyone is rational like them.
- Layke1123 4y agoHow does that show a lack of empathy?
- thecupisblue 4y agoHow does this sentence for example: >Well for one, we would attribute behavior we don't want in society to genes and/or the expression of those genes in a particular environment. Future treatment would be to note this, remove it from our genome, and see if said behavior is gone. show empathy? It means not giving people chance to live or murdering them in cold blood because they genes that aren't deemed perfect. We already had this in our civilisation and remember it as one of the most terrifying events in our past.
- GoblinSlayer 4y agoDo you have an example when justice is sensitive to side effects?
- thecupisblue 4y agoJustice as in our justice system? All the time. If it wasn't we'd have easily modelled it by now and have the legal system replaced by code.
