It's a great thing we can see what this looks like - a society without a moral foundation, in safe lab conditions. Later, we will point to SF as a case study. The decay nearly always progresses along this line: erosion of the moral foundation and the advent of nihilism, the rise of animalistic sexuality with no restraint whatsoever, the rise of animalistic cruelty, demonocracy where everyone creates an image in his own name, and finally anarchy. In this case, authorities will stop it right after step two, for unhinged cruelty is still a big no-no.

Sounds like you're blaming this all on the gays?

Perhaps we should give ground zero of tech culture more of a chance. But it is pretty shameful how the anarcho-libertarian crowd is so bent on authoritarian means when they have to face the realities they birth.

Strange days, William Gibson fans wanting Walt Disney World.

Too bad HN doesn't have a downvote option. This comment is bonkers.

I think you can downvote at some point, once you have enough karma

There is one, you need 500 karma to unlock it.

While you can't downvote me with so little karma, you can express your disagreement in a more thoughtful way, by pointing to a mistake in my argument. A downvote won't change my position, won't silence me and won't even make my comment disappear. So why bother?

Exposure to evil helps some realize evil truly exists and indirectly points the way to God.
