Genetics Week lecture titled ''Dealing Ethically with Genes for Criminality
Right, thanks for coming to this lecture this evening, everyone. You can't include genetics in the criminal justice system in an ethical way, even if the subject is fully understood, which it isn't, this should be self-evident to anyone with half a brain. Thanks again for coming, have a good journey home.
Ethics are arbitrary, at least in most philosophical systems, because almost all philosophical systems ( correctly pseudo-philosphhical systems ) are not based on a Universally Preferable Behaviour. Universally being the operative word. Often times pseudo-philosphhical systems are outcome based, i.e.
"I want to do this, how can I get other people to allow it?."
I understand what you are saying and I'm not correcting you , I just think this is an important thing to point to.
Leaving all the Moral/Ethical/Logical arguments and contradictions aside for a moment, havn't the dreams of the Eugenecists based on Empirical evidence of Genetic Predetermination been completely destroyed by Epigenetics, like decades ago?
This false justification for evil and irrational actions has been the story of at least the last few thousand years, it's fascinating to see how the narrative is just slightly altered to update it with cultural/technological memes.
John Taylor gatto traces it from Plato in his video series.
