Perhaps they're a moat around the profession rather than a means to practice quality control ?

Maybe it should be about working with your neighbour to build community and shared value? Just a thought. Good Night Jon Boy etc

I've come to have a rule of thumb which says: whenever I think or hear some variant of "there's only one way to X", I know it's incorrect - there's always choice.

Now whenever I see it, it's as-if super-emphasised like the Uncanny Valley effect.

Without the slightest attempt to troll - if everyone is happy to be complicit in genocide and still shake hands pseudo-warmly, I wouldn't worry - there's apparently no 'too much to bear'.

For me, I can't see the point of using old-think to run the world. People need to wake up. Surely there's much available to us all through true cooperation? They should all recuse themselves and going forwards, all decisions should be placed in the hands of a twelve year old girl working in concert with an AI.

Still it would be nice to have a way to limit harm by YouTuber 'Dr Not-A-Doctor'

If this were the Department for Justice I would suspect intentionally named in an ironic manner - perhaps this applies more generally?

Aaaaand that's a pass with honours and a hamper of orange skin cream.

It should be your right to delay irreversible actions until you've had time for the think-tank made-up of future-yous to think it over.
