Not a day goes by that I am not reminded of a famous study where men and women were forced to play a card game against an opponent.

Their opponent then either cheated and stole money from the subjects; or cooperated and played fairly.

Afterwards, the men and women were strapped into an FMRI, and watched as their prior opponent received a painful electric shock.

For men, the brain produced an empathic response when the honest opponent was shocked. But it produced no empathy, and in fact showed signs of a pleasure when the cheater was shocked. Their empathy was conditional on how the opponent behaved.

But for women… The brain produced an empathic response for both types of opponents. It didn’t matter if they had been cheated by them prior, they wanted to alleviate everyone’s suffering regardless.

This is their greatest asset, it is the feminine divine. It is the reason why a mother’s love is unconditional.

It’s also the reason why you will be stabbed to death in a Walmart parking lot by a borderline retarded Haitian with 73 prior convictions.

So wait you want no death penalty but you want retributive violence by the victim/their family

Are you insane

[memetic_sisyphus @memeticsisyphus]

It is morally correct to kill someone who murders innocents and rapes grandmothers. Since we have ceded the monopoly on violence to the state it is not only right they execute a convicted murder rapist, but it is their duty to do so.

Hi Sandy, I hope you’re well. I have appreciated the recent discussions. I do not agree with your framing.

Regarding piracy, DOOM is a complicated example because shareware was the model. DOOM’s first episode was designed to be freely copied, passed around, uploaded, installed, and played. That enormous unpaid audience was not the same thing as piracy. It was part of how DOOM reached the world.

By the mid-90s, DOOM had something like 20 million shareware installs and more than 2 million paid copies sold. Those 20 million people were not “pirates” by default. A huge number of them were playing the free episode exactly as intended.

That doesn’t excuse people pirating the registered game. However, it’s important not to collapse legal shareware distribution, unpaid reach, and actual piracy into one number.

I also don’t think piracy is what “gutted” id - id is still around and still making games. Piracy may have cost money, but it wasn’t the reason Quake was hard or why people eventually went different ways.

So yes: pay developers. Buy the games you love. Support the people who make them.

But history is messier than “pirates killed the companies.” Sometimes the same free distribution that looked like lost sales was also the thing that made the game impossible to ignore.

Christ didn’t break Roman law. He didn’t even break Jewish law. He was condemned illegally because of feelings & people being offended. Sound familiar?

[Darwin to Jesus @darwintojesus]

Saying that God is immoral is like saying a square is without edges. Just as a square by definition has 4 edges, God by definition is the greatest possible being.

According to what objective standard are you saying things are moral or immoral? Is this just your opinion?

Lastly, God sacrificed Himself for us, to make a path for our redemption.
