Principles and Morality are Nearly Incompatible with Statism…

As I scrolled through my Facebook news feed, I discovered the following artwork here, being shared by the page, “Police and Government Accountability Movement,” and originally posted it to my own wall, along with commentary…

"Apartheid was legal. The Holocaust was legal. Slavery was legal. Colonialism was legal. Legality is a matter of power, not justice."

“Apartheid was legal.

My Commentary: Principles and morality are nearly incompatible with Statism…

My Commentary: Over 11 million, actually… if you’re including all victims.

Stanford Researchers Warn U.S. — Cops Already Using AI to Stop Crimes BEFORE They Happen:
http://thefreethoughtproject.com/pre-crime-cops-ai/

(Claire Bernish) Pre-crime, a term coined by science fiction author Philip K. Dick and loosely described as the use of artificial intelligence to detect and stop crime before it happens, has become a terrifying reality — and will likely be business-as-usual for police in just 15 years.

“Cities have already begun to deploy AI technologies for public safety and security,” a team of academic researchers wrote in a new report titled Artificial Intelligence and Life in 2030. “By 2030, the typical North American city will rely heavily upon them. These include cameras for surveillance that can detect anomalies pointing to a possible crime, drones, and predictive policing applications.”

First in an ongoing series for the Stanford University-hosted One Hundred Year Study on Artificial Intelligence (AI 100), the report is intended to spark debate on the benefits and detriments of AI’s growing presence in society — and, as in the area of law enforcement, the removal of the human factor won’t necessarily end well.

My Commentary: No surprise, since we already have pre-crime laws all throughout the US.

Discussing One of the Many Fallacies of Cultural Marxism

The following correspondence originally took place on my Facebook wall, upon my post, “Cultural Marxism: Because Equality in Slavery is More Desirable Than Equality in Freedom…“…

Cultural Marxism: when equality in slavery is more desirable than equality in freedom…

From the article: “One way philosophers might think about solving the social justice problem,” they explain, “would be by simply abolishing the family. If the family is this source of unfairness in society then it looks plausible to think that if we abolished the family there would be a more level playing field.”

“‘The evidence shows that the difference between those who get bedtime stories and those who don’t — the difference in their life chances — is bigger than the difference between those who get elite private schooling and those that don’t,’” they wrote.

“I don’t think parents reading their children bedtime stories should constantly have in their minds the way that they are unfairly disadvantaging other people’s children, but I think they should have that thought occasionally,’ quips Swift.”

Sickening, pseudo-intellectual drivel…

Academic Study: Having a Loving Family is Unfair:
https://stream.org/academic-study-having-a-loving-family-unfair/

(Amelia Hamilton) It seems obvious that parents should love their children, and that a loving family is something for which we should all strive. I’m not so naive as to suppose that this is always the case, but it should certainly be the goal of our society. Unfortunately, there are those who don’t feel that way. Recently, a piece in ABC Australia posed the question, “Is having a loving family an unfair advantage?” Seriously.

The piece sets out their basic argument: ”The power of the family to tilt equality hasn’t gone unnoticed, and academics and public commentators have been blowing the whistle for some time. Now, philosophers Adam Swift and Harry Brighouse have felt compelled to conduct a cool reassessment.”
