Now I’m gonna try to talk you into killing people…
Just kidding ,
Seriously though, let’s do some thought experiments.
Pick your WORST person, alive or dead, when the worst comes to your mind, select that hairless monkey.
Might be Hitler, might be Mao, might be George Soros ,
Might be your high school principal, might be Randy Travis,,
Whomever.
I pick Jim Jones, over and over, I pick Jim Jones,
Let’s call it “personal reasons”.
Let’s say that happened today, out in the jungle of Uganda,
909 dead.
Nine hundred and nine living souls, nine hundred and nine lights extinguished , nine hundred and nine.
Believing they were going to meet God.
Women, children, disenfranchised, downtrodden,,,
Regular people desperately seeking “truth”.
Vulnerable, Desperate.
Life is too goddamn terrifying and there must be a guiding force, a reason, a maker, a father…
Then you get this guy,,,,
This worm, this infection, this evil on a cosmic level.
Powerful,, a nova of Power, a flare,
“Standing above a crowd, he had a voice that was strong and loud”- Tool, Eulogy
This fucking guy.
He saw it.
He saw the things that YOU can’t.
He saw the patterns and the lines that connect the stars, he saw the mechanics that make us the machine that we are..
So,,, just for fun,,,, let’s pretend that it happened today.
Nine hundred and nine dead.
This one guy to blame.
Sticking his dick into everyone, taking everyone’s resources,,,
What are you going to do to that guy?
Life in prison?
Too soft.
Death Penalty? Lethal injection?
Still too soft.
That’s not justice, that’s mercy,,
None of it is fair.
So what is fair? What is fair to an offender on that scale?
You give him to someone like me… In a dark room somewhere off the grid, no cameras, no documentation, no publicity, no news reports or articles, no word of mouth.
You go to work on that guy.
You keep him alive so you can go at him for longer, you teach the meaning of “suffer” on a primal level.
You give him that Vlad the Impaler shit,
You break his mind…
And that feels like justice.
ANd you know I fuckin’ love justice..
Now, with that said,, and this is a tough truth,,,
World leaders kill waaaaay more than nine hundred and nine,, like, all the time. Just an everyday thing, we don’t even think about it, we just go on about our business, because you can’t save all the stray animals and you can’t fix all the problems.
Some people deserve to be punched in the jaw, I certainly do, many times over, but some people man,,,,,jesus,, they deserve a lot more.
And it never happens,,, just a part of life.
Maybe AI could think up a technical equation to determine if a person deserved to live or die,,
A lot of questions that opens up..
On what criteria?
What is the scale?
Jesus forgives but robot Jesus is all facts, he has the naughty list,
All….
Probably all of us deserve it in some way or another,
Nah, that’s crazy,,
A lot… a lot of people deserve the worst,, and they don’t get it.
