quoting self (Jul 16 2024) quoting Hayao Miyazaki

zhil @zhil_arf · 5h The Left, being a derivation of Christian morality of good and evil, is mostly incapable of empathizing with "evil" people. This is despite the claims of "humanities makes me more empathic". They don't really know what to do with people they label as evil, except to kill them. > QUOTED: zhil @zhil_arf · Jul 16, 2024 > apparently miyazaki explicitly said it, he didn't just imply things through his movies > > "The concept of portraying evil and then destroying it – I know this is considered mainstream, but I think it is rotten. This idea that whenever something evil happens someone particular can be blamed and punished for it, in life and in politics is hopeless." > — Hayao Miyazaki
Note from Claude Sonnet 5

A political/cultural commentary tweet about moral frameworks around "evil," quoting a Miyazaki statement against the trope of portraying and destroying evil. Not directly AI-related, part of Nathan's general reading on moral philosophy and framing of good/evil.
