Maybe we don’t all need saving from ourselves. Maybe we need to grow up and have some personal responsibility. As someone who is happy to do that, seeing personal freedom endlessly slashed in the name of safety is tiresome.
My feelings have absolutely nothing to do with censorship. That’s just an easy straw man for you to try and dismiss my point of view, because you’re scared of not feeling safe.
- sho_hn 9mo agoI'm not under 18. I assume you aren't either.
- throwaway132448 9mo agoI was addressing your own (supposedly) safety-critical work, how you’ve used that to justify other work in the name of safety more broadly, and how you’ve placed yourself on a pedestal with your experience, to convince yourself that comments by others on the necessity of such safety are less qualified.
- pixl97 9mo agoCool, I'd like you to make a commercial system you sell access to and ensure that it is unsafe. I'll represent the injured and we'll own all your corporate assets, and like will pierce the corporate veil due to your wonton behavior.
- throwaway132448 9mo agoWhat are you on about? Laws are a codification of social norms. I’m not suggesting anything outside of existing social norms. Quite the opposite, I’m suggesting we stop changing them.
- pixl97 9mo agoThat we stop changing social norms? How do you propose that, by making a law?
- throwaway132448 9mo agoThat’s literally what laws do. You continue to contribute nothing to the discussion.
- pixl97 9mo agoConversely I'm arguing your "everyone should just" argument is meaningless for addressing social change and behavior, hence your discussion is adding nothing. Of course neither of us see our communication as meaningless so it's up to the other readers to decide the merits of our text.
