AI Thread Summary

The discussion centers on comparing two controversial scenarios: consensual incest between two adults of similar age, such as an uncle and niece, and unequal sexual relationships, particularly extreme cases like a 50-year-old man with a 10-year-old girl. Participants express concerns about the moral, ethical, and legal implications of both situations. The overwhelming sentiment emphasizes that unequal sexual relationships, especially involving minors, are far more harmful due to the inherent power dynamics and potential for exploitation. In contrast, consensual relationships between adults, while still contentious, are viewed through a different lens, focusing on autonomy and consent. The conversation highlights the complexities of consent, age differences, and societal norms surrounding these issues.

Which one is worse? Incest (consenting & sim. age) or unequal sex(supp. 50 with 10).

Which one you think to be worse.
1. Incest between two consenting adults (of equivalent age). Like between uncle and niece of similar ages.
2. Unequal sex between related or unrelated pair (it doesn't matter really and may also include incest). Here I am considering extreme cases like sex between 50 year old man and 10 years old girl.

You can also leave your prediction here. Here are the predictions of 2024 that did not make it: Peter Shor, David Deutsch and all the rest of the quantum computing community (various sources) Pablo Jarrillo Herrero, Allan McDonald and Rafi Bistritzer for magic angle in twisted graphene (various sources) Christoph...

Thread 'My experience as a hostage'

I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
