I am vaguely derisive because one doesn’t spend too much time disproving claims that a rainbow-producing perpetuum mobile strapped to a unicorn will convert the entire world into a happy place
it seemed like you were scoffing at not punishing prisoners as opposed to scoffing at the VR; that’s what I was addressing.
That seems unnecessarily cryptic. Are you really a retributive justice kind of guy? Do you really think punishment is the way to go? How do you fit the Nordic example into your map?
I did not intend to be cryptic and I don’t see what any of that has to do with punishment. The proposal is funny stoopid not because it picks a particular approach to incarceration—but because it makes assumptions that are very far away from reality.
It’s like attempting to deal with poverty in Africa by air-dropping an iPad for everyone and going “now that they are plugged into the global information economy, they would rapidly lift themselves to the first-world level”.
