Me neither. Not sure how to justify this reasonably if we punish actions tho. Scott sees it as revenge.

Isn't punishment always a form of revenge? Caught breaking rules, society exacts vengeance.

Whether you think it revenge or deterrent or protecting society, shld same price be paid 4 breaking same rules?

There r different rules for discharging a weapon carelessly and murder. Are rules the issue, or possible outcome?

Imagine exactly same actions with exactly same laws & only consequences differ. Shld consequences affect penalty

Intuition (human nature?) favours/demands 'payment' but the law should (imo) be above that and not fuel hate.

I think human law will always serve human needs & retribution is a large part of our evolved psychology.

One of the reasons I am so against capital punishment. It prioritizes vengeance over justice.

Yes, we need to feel retribution is fair & measured.James' book mentions that study where ppl will pay to punish

I think I first came across it in Haidt. Ppl will disadvantage selves to punish others tho it won't benefit them

I can't remember sources but I've read a couple of things about this. Totally irrational.
