Yes, we should aspire to a murder rate seen only in the asteroid belt and other places uninhabited by humans. Recreating those circumstances would temporarily raise the homicide rate in a given year but it would drop to 0 in the next.
There’s always going to be a stabby techie taking you from 0 to 1.
What’s your plan for that? I was going to say maybe put every single American in prison, but even that probably wouldn’t work.
Homicide rates in jails or prisons are only slightly lower than the population in general.

That's concerning; if we're forcing people into each others space, we should at least prevent them from killing each other.
