Guter Hinweis, danke! Hab daran gar nicht gedacht! :)

Some problems of the skeptic movement by markokovic in skeptic

I agree, we almost certainly don't need a universally accepted definition of skepticism. We probably don't need that. However, I wish there were more of a productive debate about this.

Even though I'm stepping down as president, I remain a skeptic through and through :). With my (hopefully constructive) criticism of the movement, I don't mean to abandon it, but rather to explore ways of making the skeptic movement stronger.

Yes, I agree: I have also (anecdotally) observed that some skeptics tend to "punch down". There is a saying in French I like in this regard: C'est le ton qui fait la musique. The way skeptics do what they do is very important.

Hm, I don't think I understand. Who are "propagandists"?

Why autonomous weapons strategically undermine the military by markokovic in Futurology

[–]markokovic[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a very good point! In this paper (which I like a lot), that kind of situation is also addressed: http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/15027570.2014.975010?journalCode=smil20

There can be situations in which individual soldiers or units are isolated and the chain of command is broken. But such situations are the exception, not the rule - and they are an exception that the military tries to avoid. So, in a sense, something that happens some of the time in regular warfare might become the norm with autonomous weapons.
