See, this is the thing people don't get about human society: People don't have the same values. These broadly overlapping categories that we supposedly all agree on are not only cherry-picked from the much broader range of values that are very much culturally if not individually differentiated. And if you are a guy like Pinker, you are going to cherry-pick them to suit yourself and those with whom you share what is properly called a "purpose in life". Far too little attention is paid to the fact that "consent" is routinely and massively and sometimes viciously violated by this "we". ------------------------------------------ Artificial General Intelligence List: AGI Permalink: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/T206dd0e37a9e7407-M86d253082a53711e9895041a Delivery options: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/subscription
