Important to who? What specifically has been good about them and what was unjust about which specific laws? Sounds like victor writing history. I want to live in a society where bad behavior isn’t incentivized.

> Important to who? What specifically has been good about them and what was unjust about which specific laws? Sounds like victor writing history. the wise man bowed his head solemnly and spoke: "theres actually zero difference between good & bad things. you imbecile. you fucking moron"[1] I think you know what is unjust about slavery. Dictatorship. Apartheid. Disenfranchisement of women. > I want to live in a society where bad behavior isn’t incentivized. Oppression is bad behavior. Protest is not.

  Yeah that’s my point - bad behavior is what’s agreed upon to be bad. Hopefully AI can disincentivize the things you point out as bad. That’s the politics of it.

  That's one of my favorite quotes. Our society has become so both-sides-pilled that one side being right about an issue is no longer even theoretically possible. No matter how correct a conclusion might be, it would get dismissed as cable news echo-chambery. It would be called a derangement syndrome. It's like people believe there's a fixed law of the universe, a law of conservation of debate. All debates will always exist in equilibrium, no matter where the fulcrum meanders over time.
