@Lucrecia It is also in human nature to do none of the above. Whatever we humans do, it is by our choice. That is the human nature, as is condemning people who harm other people, and as is condemning people for making up shitty excuses for people who harm other people. Good thing nobody does...

@Lucrecia This analogy doesn't make any sense, because the entire point in condemning people for exploiting other people is because they are people. It would make sense for future AI to condemn people-in-our-future for exploiting other conscious AI immediately after its creation, but not for...

Okay, I'm just going to respond to one person who at least seems like they are trying before I go to sleep. @EnderWin After they've been corrected several times, misinterpretation does not sound plausible anymore. Also I can't what you are trying to in that last sentence. Did you accidentally...

@Artemi Right. You said a thing that makes no sense, as we already established. The first part does not follow from the second despite you implying that it does. That's a non sequitur: https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Non_sequitur In fact, why don't you read more articles there? You clearly need it.

@Artemi "Animals can't be dogs" "no they can" "So by your logic all animals are dogs?" —your argument in a nutshell. Just because one can be evil for doing X, doesn't mean they must be evil for doing X (at least not for every X). It's in the article I linked. It isn't even long. Consider...

@Artemi No, that's not how logic works. What you are doing right now is a fallacy called "denying the antecedent". See more here: https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Denying_the_antecedent

@Official229 Dude. You were corrected. Repeatedly. You just chose to ignore all the corrections. But sure, I'll humor you again Wrong. Here's the actual clashing assumptions: Yours: "is that, you cannot be evil for doing x, if the society in that time and place does not deem it to be evil."...

@Artemi I'm still not buying the bankruptcy argument, but even if not having slaves means not having business, maybe you should… not have a business and get an honest job instead? Nonsensical argument. You can't just force someone to have a person as a property. Besides, I already mentioned it...

@Artemi Release the slaves. Duh. Like @Broken25 said, it's the only moral choice. Also, like they already mentioned, possibility for releasing slaves was a built-in part of insitute of slavery in almost every society that had an institute of slavery, so your argument is just plain wrong...

@Official229 What you said was repeating and rephrasing what Scrwd said, which is "You cannot be evil when your actions during your time and place were not considered evil". That "being bad" somehow depends on when and where and what and who thinks about "being bad". That's pretty unambiguous...

@Artemi You don't need "modern conscience" to realise that if you wouldn't want to have bad things happen to you, other people aren't likely to want them happen to themselves either. Which is why abolotionism existed back when all the popular kids thought slavery was a-OK.

@Mastertim1 "If someone says that bad things are bad, it's not because they actually think bad things are bad, it's because they want to impress girls on the internet. Also, «appreciating a story» means never thinking about things that happen in story, ever." Truely, your logic is flawless. I am...

Yeah, "some people", wink-wink-nudge-nudge. Not @Scrwd, obviously, because that would mean Scrwd is not a good person and Scrwd knows he's a good person, so he must be, right? Right?

Nah, you were telling me that the things they did weren't bad. That's what the words you said mean when arranged in the order you said them. And now you are trying to gaslight me into thinking that I argued not about them being people who do bad things, but about the reasons they became such...

@Official229 No, just with this I am seeing that some people are capable of some impressive mental gymnastics to delude themselves into thinking that something obviously bad isn't bad. The point I am trying to make that this interpretation of morality is dumb and wrong. You obviously can...

@Scrwd "Nazis weren't bad, because they weren't considered bad amongst nazis" —you, right now.

"Science is much more powerful than magic. And by «science» I mean blindly performing the rituals that the giant pillar of light tells me to."

@Krune They don't call her "Angel Mizuki-chan" for nothing. Or at all.

Gordon doesn't need to hear all this. He is a highly trained professional.
