| > That's a very temporary solution since in a very near future everybody will have their pictures taken all the time and not necessarily in the wavelengths that stop at clothing for one simple reason, technology exists. What? No. You can't hand wave away absolutionism. You can't just say "well thing X will definitely happen!" That's not an argument, that's a belief. You've just told me your religion. Not an argument. There's absolutely zero fucking reason why we need cameras everywhere taking naked pictures of people. That isn't just inevitable - you literally just made that up. This "slow March towards tech gods" thing I see pisses me off beyond belief. Because people act like it's an argument or a style of logic. No. Its a religion. You're a scientologist. You don't need me, or hackernews, you need a fucking therapist. I mean, do you even hear yourself? You're saying we should be allowed to take as many pictures of nude women and girls as we want because you believe, some day, some Angelic tech will appear that will be omnipotent. Dude, you sound insane. Like legitimately insane. Also, the whole "well technology exists!!1" mindset is just so obviously fucking wrong and stupid. You know what other technology exists right now? Today? Guns. Does that mean I can shoot you in the face? Well the technology exists! Making murder illegal is a temporary solution! The real solution is teleporting to an alternate reality where evil does not exist! Come on. |
I never said anything even remotely similar. All I'm saying is that when it happens (and it will) we should prioritize ensuring that it's not a reason for anyone to self-harm.

Yes, you can. Regardless of any laws. And I take precautions to avoid that scenario with a technological solution that lets me discuss with you without ever letting you know where my face is. Few hundred years ago it would be a power of a techno-god. Today it's everyday's baseline.
