Many on here like to wish suffering on bad guys like rapists & terrorists, but this is ape thinking. Even the most heinous of human monsters are merely malfunctioning arrangements of matter, and therefore as deserving of suffering as rabid chimps or glitchy TVs.
And the claim that my line of thinking leads to populism by hurting the feelings of the people is like saying that not buying a child candy all the time leads to tantrums. It doesn't really invalidate the truth.

I agree here. And factually speaking, not buying a 4 year old candy does lead to tantrums! But caving in leads to even more!

My point is that there is no ‘truth’ here right? There isn’t, so it’s about being pragmatic. Justice is a societal affair, what most people want is probably what’s most fair (as there is no factually defined ‘fairness). But I understand your point, merely only agree to half of it

By truth I mean it's a fact that blindly following what feels good is irrational. I mean, if feelings are such a good guide for societies, why isn't the optimal society just one giant, apocalyptic orgy? (Answer: society exists to help us rise *above* animals)
