You're right. Murder is wrong.
Now if I was to design, test, and debug these devices, then release the blueprints along with a manifesto that lists what I feel are problems in society and who I feel are causing the problems, how would that be different from what Thiel is doing?
- Vecr 4y agoThat's probably legal if you are careful enough. You might get railroaded though, political prosecutions are a thing in the US.
- Teever 4y agoYou're right, I should more closely mimic Thiel by hiring some talking heads for social media platforms. One to disseminate the blueprints, and the other for the manifesto.
- defen 4y agoIs your argument that Thiel is arguing for murder, in a roundabout way? Can you give an example of that?
- Teever 4y agoIt's not my argument, it's the argument of the person I'm responding to. > Some of you reading this are going to huff and just disregard it, but for Thiel, preventing potential massive tragedy in the future is likely worth a tradeoff of some people being "harmed" now. What I'm asking is how many degrees of separation is needed to make what OP is saying Thiel is doing acceptable.
- defen 4y agoAs far as I can tell, "harmed" is in quotes because the so-called harm would not even have been recognized as such in previous generations (unless you can provide counterexamples)
- Teever 4y agoThat doesn't make sense because the hypothetical alternative that Thiel is trying to prevent an atrocity by conducting less of atrocity. It's a the needs of the many out weigh the needs of the few argument. If there wasn't something substantial on the table we wouldn't be having this discussion.
