a man blamed Uber for a killing spree it came up on Slack:
It’s easy to turn otherwise ‘normal’ people into murderers, or passive beneficiaries of murder. The methodology has already been worked out and turned into a process. It’s just an extension of commercial marketing.
You just have to convince them that A) it’s okay to be a murderer for the right reasons, and that B) there are people who are so well qualified to distinguish between the right reasons and the wrong reasons that they should be permitted to do so without oversight. And then that C) you’re one of those qualified people. These ideas are easy to push if you’ve got enough cultural bandwidth, or the ability to artificially reduce the prevalence of opposing views.
If you can convince people that there’s a moral high ground to occupy by avoiding exposure to opposing viewpoints, you’re halfway there already.
So don’t touch that dial.
So I wrote up a short for r/blastfromthefuture.
