2023-11-14 'Violence can't solve anything' is dying in my mind right now. [長年日記]

The assassination of a former prime minister finally led to a request for a dissolution order for a vicious cult that had not moved for decades.

The mass production of dead bodies in the wake of Hamas attacks on Israel is televised daily, and many feature programs have helped more and more people learn about and understand this issue (or not?). The number of people aware of and understand this issue is increasing.

I am now immersed in a tremendous sense of helplessness.

"Violence is effective enough, isn't it?"

At the very least, was it possible by 'peaceful means' to break the cozy relationship between the former Unification Association and politicians (I still don't know) and to certify that cult as "not having the qualifications to call itself a religious organization" -- I wonder.

I don't think it was possible. At least, I can't think of an alternative.

'Don't be violent' notwithstanding, 'Violence can't solve anything' is dying in my mind right now.

I asked ChatGPT about this issue.

Yes, I think this answer alone was worth the price of joining the paid version.

I'll copy and paste the 'conclusion.

=====

- The phrase ' Violence solves nothing' is a general principle used to encourage the value of nonviolence and to emphasize the long-term adverse effects of Violence.

- However, the situation is complex, and Violence can provide short-term "solutions" to some problems.

- The key is a deep understanding of violence's ethical, social, and psychological consequences and the search for more peaceful and constructive solutions.

=====

Well, ChatGPT is designed to give iridescent and honorable answers.

Still, I like the part where he is honest enough to say, 'Violence can also be effective as a means of resolution,

When I was young, I seemed to read a book, including the lines of,

"Let's build a nuclear power plant in Jerusalem, intentionally cause an accident (a "dirty bomb"?), and turn it into a catastrophically radioactive zone, a real "holy land" that people won't be able to enter for a thousand years or so.

I can think of no other alternative as a way to finally solve the Palestinian problem.

However, even I can see that if this 'violence' is exercised, it will lead to a war that will lead to the level of human extinction, using only conventional weapons (x nuclear weapons).
