  • I definitely agree with the flawed justice system and tbh that’s really the only reason I’m against death penalty.

    Some people are really really bad and if we are 100% sure they are then deleting them from the society is actually a good option as it frees up bandwidth and resources for more productive endeavours. The 100% sure is really hard to get but, as we can see, not always.

    The other interesting point is that suffering in “humane sort of banishment” can be viewed as a ethical-purgatory of sorts and maybe we want that even if we’d never see the rehabilitation?


  • How do you rehab a children sex slaver? I simply don’t see that ever happening even if they miracously achieve some enlightenment.

    Just like death penalty is a cost on our system rehabilitation can be one so as well when the odds are so against us here.
    As in, are we investing millions of our collective resources for a 1% chance of rehabilitating this person or we put them in a dark cave somewhere and collectively forget they exist? Sometimes the latter seems like a better choice.
