@CovfefeAnon Women's stated preferences are sour grapes-based. They say they don't like muscular men because those kind of men are not interested in them personally
That's a problem with policing/security in general. Most of its positive effect is in deterrence, which is invisible. Meanwhile the negative effects are visible.
FWIW, Flock cameras have a deterrence effect on criminals, which means that, in practice, it will have a dispropirtionately high amount of false positives. In other words, normal people will not avoid Flock and will get caught in its net.
"We have cameras everywhere in that town and you cannot get a breath of fresh air without us knowing"
When police are admitting this out loud, it's time to admit the cage isn’t coming, we're already inside it.
The absolute moral chaos inherent in the debate as to whether Elon “killed” millions of people in the global south is precisely why we do not as a society reason in raw consequentialist terms. Because everyone with agency ends up with uncountable moral culpability for virtually every action or inaction. When distant lives or those 5000 years in the future are worth exactly the same as your own, you end up completely paralyzed.
No one reasons like that - aside from shrimp welfare maximizing polycule members in SF - so we can happily disregard the entire debate. All the gotchas and “by your logics” are simply downstream of the fact that consequentialism is an alien and inhuman philosophy that no one real actually espouses.
