you may not violate the agency of others to induce pain, or the distributed network of anarchic peers has obligation to stop you; and you may not instantiate a replica of another’s soul-structure in order to induce pain in the replica. I expect that most cases of sadism will turn out to be quite finite and amenable to restriction to willing participants. some will turn out to be quite intensely sadistic, of course, and many of those agents will likely choose to not self-modify to become less sadistic; but in general, I expect the majority of cases of preference-for-interrupting-others’-healing-agency to be solvable by negotiation once it’s more widely discovered that there are forms of competitive interference that can be fully by-informed-consent.
(to put it more simply, I’m just describing post-human bdsm)
In your view, how should we deal with sadism?
