Normall Killing

I keep saying we should stop killing each other, but what do I mean, really?

- The killing at individual levels are highly idiosyncratic and there are hypothetical situations where I think killing another human being is still possible.

- The killing at group level is also idiosyncratic, but the reasons are increasingly or were never justified.

Examples and solutions:

Abortion: The reasons are variable (personal and context).

The government's role? Provide a clean, effective mechanism for this highly individualized form of killing.

My role? Support you in what ever decision you make.


Murder: The personal reasons are consistent (money or sex or delusional) but the context is variable (jealous lover shooting, bank robbery, movie theater shooting).

The government's role? Provide a clean, undistorted, and effective mechanism for the distribution of money and sex. Limit the destructive impact of black swan/sheep events without overly restricting personal freedom and more importantly personal initiative.

My role? Offer my love, money, and life.


War: The reasons have been and are very consistent.

The government's role? Provide a clean, effective mechanism for this highly mechanized form of killing in mass.

My role? To limit the use of this mechanism with extreme prejudice.
