      Arthur Chu Retweeted Gail Simone

      I'm going to change this into a harder question: There's a drug that causes anterograde amnesia that keeps you from forming long-term memories while you're on it A guy who wants to commit a violent crime deliberately takes the drug so he won't live with the guilt of doing ithttps://twitter.com/GailSimone/status/1315510372275613697 …

      Arthur Chu added,

      Gail Simone @GailSimone
      A man commits a murder. During the police chase to catch him, he crashes his car, has a traumatic brain injury and goes into a coma. When he wakes up, he remembers nothing of his previous life, and reveals zero violent tendencies. You’re on the jury. Would you imprison him?

      You find out that this drug forms a pathological addiction cycle with many people with disordered, impulsive behavior -- the natural system of "regret" we have that keeps us from acting in hot blood on violent urges can be short-circuited with this drug

      And, because people have *seen* your answers to Gail's question and know that you have a tendency to say "If he doesn't remember doing it then it's like he's a different person", deliberately take the drug for this reason, as a moral defense

          Because when you're fucked up and you're really mad at someone all you care about is that they get the shit beat out of them, not the satisfaction of remembering that you did the beating The drug giving you a mind-wipe and letting you expiate your guilt is all upside

          People deliberately start whole communities, subcultures around taking a Jekyll and Hyde potion so Mr. Hyde can come out and do the things you really want to do and Dr. Jekyll can argue with a straight face he's not responsible for any of it

          (Psst drugs like this really exist, with varying degrees of effectiveness, and are used for this purpose all the time It may not be the *best* such drug but the oldest and cheapest one is called alcohol The culture around getting drunk to hurt people is thousands of years old)

          It's a big question, isn't it There's the whole thing about reading a news story from the 1920s about a guy who drove a car through a storefront and killed a bunch of people, but his lawyer got it pled down to a lesser crime Because everyone saw he was extremely drunk

          Replying to @arthur_affect

          I think prison isn't purely punitive or about rehabilitation. It's for society. The same way a 15 year old in a coma who wakes up at 30 isn't going to be allowed to attend high school and date teenagers. While they may mentally be okay for that, it's bad for society to allow it.
