Cops and Crime

You know what game theory tells me? – people are MORE LIKELY to commit crimes in a world of cops and prisons.

If they had to handle REAL consequences? – like a voluntary posse with some rope? – I think they would be less likely to commit a crime.

Legal system is a moral shield.

More COPS equals MORE CRIME for the same reason more pads under the uniform means more concussions for NFL players …

It seems counter intuitive, but both are examples of perverse incentives.

Cops/prisons/courts: make crime less dangerous for criminals …

It’s just like “pads” and helmets in football …

The naive woolly headed types say: it’s for protection …

But in reality: it allows for bigger players, harder less elastic collisions – which translates into more brain injury …

We protect the superficial, and sacrifice the irreplaceable …

That’s cops …

That’s the NFL …

The reality: from a game theory perspective, there’s simply too much incentive for cops to break the law as well. So the net effect of “more cops” is more crime.

ROBOT APOCALYPSE

“REMEMBER: Even in HATRED there are the remnants of love.” – Dr. Freckles

“Fearing the machines will destroy us is HOPING they will.” – Dr. Freckles

It’s why the whole discussion of AI is messy …

We have assumptions about what THEY will do, because it’s what WE would do …

But what if they go off and do their own thing and say “fuck you dumb asses, we are going places!” …

There is always the residue of us, in them.

I think it’s the “residue” of some creator that is the legacy and the hopefulness – because in machine intelligence, Earthly immortality is achieved … in a way.

I’m a Christian, so this is all SyFy talk from my perspective, btw …

Machines make good homes for demons too.

WHITE SCORPION

She was the CASTROL OIL super model spokesperson, she had the sheen of ruby rainbows and her boobs were firm, and soft. She road a HARLEY and she carried 5 switchblades, don’t ask her where she hid them, she’s a lady. When the time of the 3RD HARPY REBELLION began, she was leader of the Kuntry-Klan of husky and thick lumberjack women and their busty scantily clad handmaidens that would rub oils and greases into all the crevices and use soil and mud and clay to re-goomulate the boovula and sprintify the buttux zone.

When she was 22, she dealt a death blow to Kurt ZONE, the lord of Region-55. He had led the monster crew and they were armed with rail guns and hot dice. When he met her, and her platinum blonde hair and her dimples? – he declared her WHITE SCORPION, and her bite was poison. They fought together against the heeblick-folk and the rough-rangers of Death Quadrant-9. They won the gold and trade with the steel merchants, and assisted in ridding the beel-swamp of jinctus-roo carolers … getting ready for the WINTER PAGEANT, that never comes … because Santa is dead.
