Mediocre_Bard, 28 days ago I was going to say, “We should go back to killing people,” but then thought better of it. We should start killing shitty people. “But who will decide who is shitty?” “That’s the fun! Anyone!” “But then I won’t know who I can be shitty around!” “And then?” “I would have to be a moderately less shitty person.” “Yeah …” “But what if someone starts killing random people without cause?” “Sounds pretty shitty. Kill them.” “But what about the innocent people who are harmed?” “Let’s not pretend to start caring, now that your head is on the block.” “What if someone kills you?” “I’ll be dead. I won’t have to deal with these shitty people anymore.” “Why not just kill yourself?” “Because I believe that my life has meaning and that I am helping people.” “But what if someone thinks that the meaning you have selected is shitty?” “Again, I will be dead.” “So how can we know what is and isn’t shitty behavior?” “It’ll work itself out if we maintain the system with some degree of fidelity.” “This would just create a society where literally person would have to agree on what it means to be shitty.” “Yeah, that would be dope.” “This is horrifying and short sighted.” “Yeah. Pretty on-brand for people.” “Yep.” “Yep.”
