Here's how to react if someone is having a generalized tonic-clonic seizure in front of you!

Different situations are taken into account to give as much info as possible.

Do not travel to the US even if you're a white European. There is a not insignificant chance you will be detained indefinitely in solitary confinement because they decided you were the "wrong" sort of person.

If a voting system leads to outcomes in which a preference for killing marginalized people wins an election, I will argue that's a moral failing of that voting system. In particular, I'll argue that that remains true even if other legal frameworks prevent or mitigate that negative outcome.

To clarify slightly, there are absolutely legal frameworks, presumably including the United States Constitution, that address this issue. My point was that the assumption used to justify voting systems *in particular* seems flawed, or at best incomplete.

That is, I don't want people who want me dead to get elected, then find that they can't act towards that goal because of the Bill of Rights — I want for them to not be elected in the first place.

I don't know the solution, but I'm just struck that none of the summaries of voting systems even seem to admit the possibility that that's a problem.

By way of elaboration, a very popular opinion in the US right now is that the world would be better off without me in it, and that violence is justified in achieving that outcome. I would very much like if voting systems didn't fairly represent the idea that I should just die.

Because I'm [REDACTED], instead of doing what I need to be doing, I just went down an almost hour-long rabbithole on Wikipedia about voting systems.

It really strikes me that the idea that voting systems should accurately represent the opinions of the majority is just taken as sacrosanct.

"For me it’s time to take a stand, small as it may be, and to distance myself from the Royal Society until such a time as it has the moral courage to specifically denounce the actions that Musk is taking to undermine science in the US and elsewhere."

🚨I promised I'd say more on the Royal Society and Elon Musk, so here it is. 🚨

I've resigned my position as Associate Editor at Royal Society's journal Open Science in protest at their lack of action over Elon Musk.
