Gosh, that's too bad.

One Chip, One Vote

If you're not familiar with the work of David Hanson, you should be, as his goal and that of others is to build true AI to the point of sentience and beyond.

Add von Neumann's universal constructor replication with virtually unlimited capacity (including the unintended consequences of mutations) and it creates an interesting dilemma, especially since the "soul" of the machine will essentially be a chip. And once it is self-aware and intelligent, how can it not have rights, including political?

Assuming a reason for the pretext of voting still exists.

True, current simulation is not the same as consciousness. But who among us can predict what will be developed a year from now, or 10 years, or 50...?

We, and our children, certainly are living in interesting times.

Let the Punishment Fit the Crime?

The bill specifically reduces drug convictions for possession of trace quantities of methadone, oxycodone, heroin, MDMA, cocaine, and methamphetamine from felonies to misdemeanors. [More]

In addition to the corrupting incentives on "law enforcement," I've long argued that the point at which a crime is committed is when someone else is victimized. Otherwise, we're talking about an issue that is medical, psychological, spiritual, moral... and you can't really get anywhere "treating" effects instead of causes.

That said, I've also long argued that anyone who can't be trusted with a gun can't be trusted without a custodian, and I sure wouldn't trust some lost soul on brain scramblers with a gun.

I'd also be interested in seeing what "property crimes" are being "defelonized."

My prediction, since this is being overseen by Opposite Day "progressives" also bent on citizen disarmament: Things are gonna get a lot worse on all counts, and the community that will suffer the most is the one outraged over "racial disparities."
