Now that you have no more to go on you wish to go back to the beginning and start over. I read what you had to say and i found it insufficient, there is no need for me to repeat this exercise. I only hope you never have the oppurtunity to judge another in a critical situation, for that person could end up who knows where and for who knows what.
Your criminal deterrent example is based on a severely conservative culture. My further elaborating on cultural differences would most likely violate site rule #6, so I will refrain.
Hopefully, you did not forward a virus-infected email, that will infiltrate PayPal's intranet and blow the whole thing up into smithereens!
I believe that in time it will be universally accepted, and i believe automation will speed up that process.
If you dont believe the issue starts and end with each individual I'm not sure how you expect society to better themselves.
It means "let the buyer beware", which isn't the same as the buyer be aware. It is a warning to the buyer to remain on the skeptical side and if it looks too good to be true, chances are it is.
41 million Americans deal with hunger every day. Even though third world countries are equally important, it is my personal hope America will one day address its own issue. I have zero statistics to back it up but I am almost certain there is a notable percentage of hungry Americans stealing for the simple reward of negating their hunger.
I expect society to take care of each other as a whole, then and only then do i believe many of these crimes will go away. Will all crime go away, probably not but i am expecting it to go away by 90% or more, and i think thats a pretty good start.
Hopefully, we will respect the technology to accomplish that goal. The last thing anyone needs is for SkyNet to become self-aware one day lol.
I get that, wasn't saying those people are evil. I left that out since we're comparing needs to wants and this need can be broken down into further discussion on people that decide to live that lifestyle or how they ended up like this. To prevent sidetracking from what we can mostly agree on what's evil vs greedy I didn't want to talk about people who are starving.
Long before that, there was "Kronos", a forward look into the inherent danger with AI before we even had pc's.
This thread is indeed about people who scam other people, and that action is wrong. Why is it happening and how it should be dealt with is the aftermath of the scam and what some here are trying to discuss and fiqure out. I will leve the soul out of it because it will only further complicate a already complicated issue. These crimes were/are commited because of either need or want and that's where the solutions can be found.
Are you referring to I,robot, surrogates, or elysium lifestyle? Theres good and bad to take from that. People as a whole will get lazier, large corporations will run the world like none of us can imagine, and instead of people being able to live their life they'd adhere to a new set of rules. We'd be forcing people to live a certain lifestyle rather than giving them a choice to live how they want.
I'm referring to a world where nothing is expected from you and that which you need and want will be given without any trade or purchase. If certian people wish to become lazy well they will be throwing away a great life for no reason, if they chose that road they will suffer from there own choice and not a choice someone else imposed onto them like the current civilzation we have now.
It starts with society only when people correct themselves first. People should strive to better themselves rather than wait for someone to hold their hand.
That utopia you speak of is very dangerous to society and has never worked.
I strive to better myself everyday, for some reason you seem intent on this idea that if things are free that people will not better themselves anymore. Some humans might take that road and they will eventually die off, the rest of us will evolve into greater minds and bodies. Which road will you take is the only question you should be asking.
What i speak of is beyond utopia, and the only danger is the fear you bring into with you.
Its not fear and its proven throughout history to fail. Feel free to keep basing my response as emotion
