  • they probably aren’t even friends

    You don’t know either, all we can do is use our best judgement.

    If someone’s name pops up 3 times in 4 million documents, I would give the benefit of the doubt, but if somebody has been to ‘Rape Island’ 30 times then I’m going to cut ties with them, their business, and anybody who says ‘YoU dOn’T kNoW for SuRe’

    Too many people forget that “Innocent until proven guilty” is for the law, not for ethics.

    My ethics tell me that if you’re not blatantly denouncing a child rapist, you are not a good person.



  • “ThEy’rE not PedOPhiLeS ThEy JuSt ARe FriENdS with MaNY Of tHeM DaS Not ThE sAmE”

    If you know they’re terrible people, and you continue to have connections to them then you’re either terrible also, or an enabler.

    Any person who was over 20 years old who sexually assaulted any person under 15 years old, and ANY WHO KNEW IT and didn’t shout it from the mountaintops deserves to die, or rot in a hole.


  • Science without morals and ethics leads to amazing developments, but often misguided or twisted understanding, and unbridled human suffering.

    It’s not enough to be a good scientist, one must also be a good person. The people involved with Epstein are UNREPENTANTLY evil. These are not people who are in the “grey” like a leper who was an untouchable or a murderer who killed unintentionally and regrets it their whole life. A true scientist doesn’t need the law to tell them that someone is highly likely to be a monster when the evidence is mounting. Rather they would chase the evidence and do their best to make a decision based on the most logical outcome.

    A good scientist who is also a good person must work to excise this toxicity from the scientific community.

    Also, Budda and Jesus? A terrible bad faith argument, I can’t dignify that with anything other than dismissal

    You’re exactly right, it’s still the less terrible choice because it leaves an opportunity to fight back in the future. Rather than leave the empire to fall easily to the Aldmeri Dominion and Skyrim with less support, as well as Racist Ensalver Hold Leaders. Both suck.

    Ideally you’d have the Dragonborn reunite Skyrim under the empire, challenge the High Queen for the position and defat, not kill, her, become high king, and then claim the position of Emperor of the empire (oh look, someone in the Dark Brotherhood killed the emperor) due to Divine Right of Dragon Blood, kick all Thalmor (not high elves) out of the empire, decree the illegality of Racism and Challenge anyone in Cyrodill to 'Disagree with me via combat. ’

    But then we run into issues of “absolute power corrupts absolutely” and/or “what happens when Dragonborn no live no more”

    Nah fam, racists are still racists. Religious oppression is definitely bad, but in the Skyrim scenario your choices are terrible. Support the Empire and oppress a religion, or support the Stormcloaks and condone the abuse and slavery of 3+ races.

    I won’t choose religious persecution willingly, but I will always choose NOT putting abusive racists in power.
