Michael Guravich @mguravich.bsky.social · 12/10/20262/ A society that condones capital punishment is a society lacking proper moral consciousness. A society that should be ashamed down to its toes because it would allow the state, in its name, to put someone to death. That goes way beyond punishment. It’s raw power and blood lust. 000
Michael Guravich @mguravich.bsky.social · 12/10/2026The problem in every discussion about the death penalty is when people focus on the punishment aspect: did or didn’t the condemned deserve to be put to death? The real question is: how can it be moral for the state to execute a prisoner, restrained and helpless? It’s the epitome of cowardice. 1/2 200
Michael Guravich @mguravich.bsky.social · 12/10/2026If you ask David Brooks if it’s ok to call every Democrat a communist, he’d say that’s different, because that is actually how things are done in the US. Sadly, he would not be wrong. 000

Artificial is an accurate term, in contrast to natural. Brains grow from cells. AIs run in equipment that people build. Hence "artificial." It can be stupid or smart, but it stays "artificial." Trump is a moron. 052

That’s a bad scoring rule. It doesn’t reflect what happened. 010
