You could kill me with a rock easier than you could kill me with a drone
- ares623 3mo agoWe absolutely can, we absolutely should, and we absolutely have been doing that. When I get on a bus with other people, I can, with a fairly high degree of certainty, rest assured that the other passengers will not just randomly kill me to get something from me. That's because the people, just like me, have some level of comfort and their basic needs being met. The further we slide away from that, the higher the risk for everyone. And to maintain that needs constant work, from everyone.
- JumpCrisscross 3mo agoYou both agree. What keeps someone from killing you on a bus is a combination of norms, morals and deterrence. The same apply to drone murder. Norms and morals apply almost equally to murder by drone versus e.g. poisoning someone. The difference is largely in deterrence, i.e. having a clearly-communicated capability to find anyone who tries to pull this off.
- sleepyguy 3mo ago>You could kill me with a rock easier than you could kill me with a drone How about dropping a rock from a drone so it isn't up close and personal.

- zzyzxd 3mo ago> Yeah but you won't so it's not a big problem The reason you can comfortably say this is exactly because we orchestrate our society around what someone "could" do. Operating a drone is not that easy, today. And killing someone has consequence most people don't want to face. What if we enable every human to be able to kill someone anonymously by pressing a button?
