RE: To Enjoy Powergame or to Deny Powergame is The Only Actual Axis of Conflicts around Identity
I’m glad to see you post your ideas and opinions :-)
I don’t know if there are many people who simply think it’s ok to kill people based on theirnpowerful position. They tend to use some ideology or ideal as an excuse for such poor behavior and lack of empathy (which can result in many undesirable things, including death) though. “Safety” or “freedom” are used as ideals to justify poor behavior. Many people here seem to believe that if we just rely on contracts, the problem will be solved, but then the contracts will become the excuse for such poor behavior.
I don’t see any real solution involving laws and regulation or AI taking care of these decisions for us. The only solution I see is placing empathy as an ultimate goal for all people, one that can cut through individual philosophy and ideals.
It’s a complicated issue.
I agree with your last paragraph 100%!
Thank you so much for your comment! I oversimplified and exaggerated situation on the post, but I actually think such ideological excuses can be the self-deceiving rhetoric that conceals the joy of abusing powers. Maybe I'm too cynical about people... Maybe some people simply too anxious or genuinely worry about their group's future, even though they don't notice or neglect their lack of empathy.
Some people around Blockchain including Steemit seem to have a too utopian view in regard to contracts, and I'm afraid it would end up with playing the same old stage with pre-WW2 utopists, who finally set up dystopia.
