Terrified optimist, Kant stan, AI loon, and self-unemployed cognitive engineer — in that order! Begrudgingly [he/him]. Ostensibly here to discuss philosophy, but... y'know... ✊ 🏴 🇺🇸 El Pueblo Unido Jamás Será Vencido 🇺🇸 🚩 ✊
![Definitions include:
"the deliberate killing of innocent people, at random, to spread fear through a whole population and force the hand of its political leaders" (Michael Walzer, 2002).
"the organized use of violence to attack non-combatants (‘innocents’ in a special sense) or their property for political purposes" (C. A. J. Coady, 2004).
"the deliberate use of violence, or threat of its use, against innocent people, with the aim of intimidating some other people into a course of action they otherwise would not take" (Igor Primoratz, 2004).[page needed]
"the use of force or violence or the threat of force or violence to change the behavior of society as a whole through the causation of fear and the targeting of specific parts of society in order to affect the entire society" (Arthur H. Garrison, 2004).
"The premediated use or threat to use violence by individuals or subnational groups to obtain a political or social objective through the intimidation of a large audience beyond that of the immediate victims" (Todd Sandler, 2010).
"a doctrine about the presumed effectiveness of a special form or tactic of fear-generating, coercive political violence... [as well as] a conspiratorial practice of calculated, demonstrative, direct violent action without legal or moral restraints, targeting mainly civilians and non-combatants, performed for its propagandistic and psychological effects on various audiences and conflict parties" (Schmid, 2011).](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:d33nnhpqbjy23tsj26jrzerr/bafkreifldptn3useisdkrasvuhr2psn4odzneultf3nbbkt5eeqjvfyfna)
![The local governments in Otto even defended their counseling restrictions the same way Colorado does here, arguing that counseling is "professional speech or conduct[, and that] they have the power to limit it" like any other "professional regulation[]." 981 F.3d at 861, 864. Rejecting that argument, the Eleventh Circuit recognized that what those local governments
"call[ed] a 'medical procedure' consists entirely-of words," and the "characterization of [the] ordinances as professional regulations" did not transmogrify words into conduct. Id. at 861, 865. Those counseling restrictions were "direct, not incidental, regulations of speech." Id. at 865. The Tenth Circuit held the exact opposite here.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:d33nnhpqbjy23tsj26jrzerr/bafkreieetuz3ikz7cf47qjyiigm6ld4okcrtbblbn7cryu5wpt5ganj32i)
![The one time Heisenberg seemed to talk about this explicitly is a postwar autobiography in which he rendered himself talking to von Weizsäcker about this at Farm Hall:
I do not know [he says he said to Weizsäcker] whether one can object to this argument [that a man like Hitler should be denied atomic bombs], especially when one considers what really happened in the Nazi concentration camps. After the end of the war with Germany, many physicists in America probably advised against using this weapon, but by that point they no longer had a decisive influence. That is not for us to criticize either. For we too could not prevent the terrible things that our government did. The fact that we did not know their full extent is no excuse, since we could have done more to find out.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:d33nnhpqbjy23tsj26jrzerr/bafkreibehrfkd7gq7xh7hid5ncv2umbkrg55aue7jekilyu6emz7d5lef4)
