Human organizations that mirror the structure of SAFE?

No, in the language ethics isn’t a scientific question or one fit for an appeal to scientism or contemporary consensus or even deconstruction. A theory of ethics has fallen out of favor a bit but you can find somewhat scienfific attempts with Kolberg’s stuff or the more current Integral approach, but in the search for the good, ethics always referred to an unchanging universal basis for the higher good in human behavior. Its there reflexivly in the heat of the moment in both good and bad forms in human behavior.

Have you read Kohlberg? Cause I did and I don´t see how your reference makes any sense.

What about a knife whose design welcomes people to use it for killing other people, and is sponsored by people who would? Is that technology still neutral?

You still have to have a human being holding it to use it. A knife doesn’t wield itself, a gun doesn’t shoot it’s own bullets and a stone doesn’t levetate off the ground and propel itself at a target. You might turn it into a display piece. And even if you were to use it as an a weapon the question is whom are you killing and why? Is it being used in self defense and or to protect others or are you going on a murder rampage for fun? Intent dude, intent, it all comes down to what someone is choosing and intending to do. A freaking table leg can be a weapon or a golf club. A professionally designed sword can be used as an art display piece for it’s asthetic value regardless of the fact it’s a deadly weapon. I will never understand how some people have such draconian attitudes towards weapons, especially knives and other close combat weaponry. You can kill someone very effectively with a pillow or a piece of wire or a plastic bag even.

Tor was sponsored by the US military and developed to help hide their operatives in plain sight. The internet is also decended from a US military project. You ask me what about a knife that is designed by people who welcome people to use it for killing other people and sponsor it’s development to do so, who are in short weapons manufacturers. I say so what? The end user is STILL responsible for what they choose to do with any weapon they purchase and at the end of the day it STILL is just a tool and nothing more.
