"That's fun"
Jan. 29th, 2015 04:02 pm
Having achieved mortality rates of 99.99 percent at Bełżec and Sobibór, Himmler ordered on 17 April 1942 the construction of a third facility, this time in the Warsaw district of the General Government. A crew with “euthanasia” experience, accompanied by Trawniki men, was dispatched to a site near the village of Treblinka, where construction of the death factory began on 1 June 1942.
Irmfried Eberl was a medical doctor rather than a police chief. He had directed two of the “euthanasia” facilities.
Eberl seemed delighted at his latest assignment. “It’s going very well for me,” he wrote to his wife during the construction of the death facility at Treblinka. “There’s lots to do and that’s fun.” --- Snyder, T. 2012. p 261.

Jan. 29th, 2015 05:11 pmConsider a society that has a legal institution that protects citizens' rights with a measure of efficiency R.
Consider a society that has a religious institution that functions both as a moral (Rm) and legal force (Rl).
Consider a society that has abusive agents that can abuse religious morals and citizens' rights.
Consider two societies X and Y that differ in strength of their legal institutions and the number of rights-abusing agents.
Hypothesis: the weaker the legal institution and the greater the number of the rights-abusing agents, the higher the probability that citizens will act against morals-abusing agents, by defending their religious institution.
... something doesn't jive here yet
... the citizens don't distinguish b/w morals- and rights-abusing agents
... the gov can be a rights-abusing agent but position itself as a morals-protecting agent

Jan. 29th, 2015 10:34 pmУ меня в этом квартале есть очень интересный студент - умный, глубоко верующий мусульманин чуть ли не суфийского разлива, но с примесью вульгарной когнитивной науки. В одних вещах ему это помогает, а в других жутко мешает. Если я ему скажу перестань верить во всю эту ерунду, то это не поможет, потому что во-первых, перестать верить он не может, а во-вторых, он потеряет какие-то важные интуиции.
