What do you mean by jail? Are you imagining like some voluntary jail where you check in and out as you please?
Sorry, I’m not trying to be glib, but maybe we just have different understandings on the word “force”. You can’t send someone to jail without force.

Exactly. This will sounds flippant, but it’s the same thing when people debate over “what is art” as if something has to be good in order to be considered art.
Likewise, you don’t need to be good to be considered a person. In fact there is nothing you could do that could rob you of your personhood in my eyes. It’s inalienable. That doesn’t mean every person is good or should be treated the same way.

I don’t want Nazies dead. But they are not people.
I think you’ve got it backwards, friend! They are people, just awful people who need to be stopped.

Everything’s got that wet toy sheen. Wow, so realistic. Much specular.

Parasocial relationships are a deeply concerning development.
I agree. I’m not sure how anyone who has a healthy sense of self-respect can develop this sort of relationship, tbh. Even wading into the sometimes toxic peergroup of fandoms is better, because at least you’re communicating back and forth rather than just imbibing this quasi-social runoff that’s not even directed towards you as a person.

Practicing masculinity, delighting in skilled human action, and bonding with peers.
Not my thing, but I get it.

I’m sure horniness is a factor, but there is also the aesthetic allure of the adorable. Like I can look at cat pics for hours. Doesn’t mean cats make me hot.

I buy on Bandcamp Fridays, but am suspicious of that platform since they changed owners so often without any input from the community or musicians.
I’m keeping my eye on subvert.fm as a hopefully more democratic option.

Wow what a wretched collection of individuals. These assholes can’t all possibly be in agreement with each other — don’t you wonder if they aren’t given pause by some of the company they’re stacked next to?
Like if I was giving a speech somewhere and Elon Musk, for example, had just delivered his I’d start to suspect I wasn’t on the right side of things, let alone in the best of company…

I’m sensing a pattern.
No but seriously, the psychopathic allure of leadership (Forbes, sry just the first link I found) is leading to civilization scale decisions which are 1) out of sync with what a reasonable person wants, 2) counter to general human flourishing.
Tech leadership wants us to worry about potential ethical “alignment issues” with a theoretical AGI, but we’re already in crisis if those leading us don’t share our basic human values.
PS. I’m not trying to say psychopaths nonghuman. They’re the same species and probably as conscious as I am. I just don’t think they’re an apt choice to decide matters for humans who do have empathy. Imagine a chef with no sense of taste running a restaurant kind of deal.
