      Shunning and silencing a person for their views isn't bad because it's a curtailing a right. It's bad because it doesn't work. Marshall Rosenberg of NVC pointed out that a person doesn't change in a sustained way when you shun and silence them.

      2/ yes, agreed! it's the same utilitarian argument as we saw during the early days of The War on Terror: "we should not torture because it doesn't work" WTF?

      this "argument" seems borderline evil to me. if it worked, would that make it ok? that is the trend, getting better at canceling people. Canada froze deplorables' assets; with CBDCs, undesirables might have to choose between changing and being able to buy groceries

          4/ The problem I have w a utilitarian argument against evil is that if new studies show that facts aren't as we thought, then the one and only one barrier falls. "We shouldn't torture bc it produces lies" we found a new torture protocol "Carry on then!"https://twitter.com/notPotus42/status/1504962162367868933?t=iv-Q3lS9Y66l0V50XTjMpA&s=19 …

          I don’t see a contradiction. Not everyone will agree with the moral argument, so having someone think through the “even if you this this is ok, it still doesn’t work,” sounds like a good way to build consensus. Like you said, there are many reasons against it.

          The "torture doesn't work" line is for those who think that the end justify the means. That we're not making tough calls. "Well sure it's evil, but if we hooked up one awful guy to a car battery and it saved a thousand in a bombing..."

          It's good to have different arguments for different audiences. Some genuinely don't care about whether torture is "wrong" but will consider the points that it doesn't work and has measurable costs.

          Because ultimately they do work, usually if you define your goal differently than your stated one. (Although torture does work, as long as you have several informants)
