I heard on npr radio that the purpose of torture is to intimidate, not extract information. Which makes it all clear.

Incentives for information: 1.) Extract information. 2.) The information should be useful.

Incentives for intimidation: 1.) Information extraction is of no concern. 2.) The torture should be so shocking, and awesome, that George Carlin style many extra syllables need to be added to the word "tor-ture" like when Diane Feinstein says the supersized Orwellian phrase that "tor-ture" has become. 3.) The details of the torture should be made public.

I will check back to see. Is not squatting bad? As in chairs are a technological de-evolution?

I used to get scolded for slouching, but bullies slouch. They seek the endorphins of slouching. I sort of slouch like a plank, or maybe it is lazy & even more inert than regular sitters. I'm not sure.

Against the social contract as technologists understand it. But we're not the bulk of users any more.

The same mob that is going after his explicit racism here, knows that it can't handle being incited to anger. That it can't trust itself.

Who knows better than the mob?
