Vox: The Reason People Are So Cruel On the Internet Is Altruistic Punishment

Before getting to that, let's mention today's victim of the Internet Outrage Mob: Curt Schilling, who was just fired from his job at ESPN (time to boycott ESPN, no?).

He was fired because he shared on FaceBook-- months ago -- a meme goofing on men who want to use women's restrooms:

The post showed an overweight man wearing a wig and women’s clothing with parts of the T-shirt cut out to expose his breasts. It says: "LET HIM IN! to the restroom with your daughter or else you're a narrow-minded, judgmental, unloving racist bigot who needs to die."
To that, Schilling added: "A man is a man no matter what they call themselves. I don’t care what they are, who they sleep with, men’s room was designed for the penis, women’s not so much. Now you need laws telling us differently? Pathetic."
"ESPN is an inclusive company," ESPN said in a statement. "Curt Schilling has been advised that his conduct was unacceptable and his employment with ESPN has been terminated."

ESPN is a company that sells men on the idea that watching hours of other men doing athletic things is itself manly. ESPN should really stop daring men to exit their economic sphere entirely, before they begin figuring out that it's women who should enjoy watching dudes exert themselves.

Seriously, ESPN has always been kinda extremely homoerotic, and it's making this more obvious every day. They should just start advertising tampons on there.

Why anyone watches this anymore, I have no idea. It's like Bravo but without practical advice about redoing your kitchen.

It's a pageant with occasional whistles and instant replays.

Schilling discusses his Tolerance Sacking here.

Now, on to Vox, and third-party punishment.

I've been talking about this for about two years now, I think -- we did a podcast on the subject with John Sexton (another convert to the cause after I recommended Trial by Fury to him).

Vox now Voxspalains altruistic punishment, which they call "third party punishment."

The two terms describe the same phenomenon, which is that people take pleasure in punishing people for wronging others.

That's the third-party part, or the "altruistic" part -- apes punish other apes for wronging themselves, but apes don't care if you harm another ape.

Humans -- possibly uniquely -- do.

This is an altruistic impulse and it underlies our sense of fairness in society generally.

But there is a dark side to it. Because humans are hard-wired to really, really enjoy punishing others for their alleged sins against other people -- we derive actual pleasure from it; it's that feeling of angry righteous fury political partisans feel -- and sometimes we go deliberately looking for slights to others, which could be entirely imaginary, to righteously punish.

One point the Vox article makes which I haven't made myself is that people are willing to use more vicious punishments when defending the alleged wrongs inflicted on others than they are to avenge wrongs perpetrated on themselves.

This may be because people are naturally more tough than they credit others with being.

And so if you say "You're an asshole" to someone, he just shrugs it off -- who cares?

But if you say "You're an asshole" to one of his designated victim cohorts he is honor-bound to defend and avenge, he assumes a bunch of things about his victim cohort -- that they're weak; that they're excessively sensitive and can be wounded by trivial things; and that they are utterly incapable of standing up for themselves -- and permits himself to engage in cruelty he would never consider indulging in on his own behalf to avenge the wronged third party.

This could be why furious liberals are so furious and nasty about the Washington Redskins team name, but if you ask the actual Indians about it, they shrug and say "What's the big deal? Isn't it a compliment?" and actually name their own high school teams the "Redskins" and other Indian-themed names.

But when you're coming in to defend these Indians -- well, you assume a level of offense on their behalf that really doesn't exist, then you assume they're weak and need a White Knight (usually an actual caucasian White Knight, actually) and you get nastier defending the Poor Indians than you'd ever be defending anyone apart from your own children.

And that's why the internet is so terrible.

This isn't an impulse to be completely suppressed -- as I said, it is this sense of what is "fair" to others that informs the most rudimentary sense of morality and ethics people feel. (Feel, not think.)

Third-party or altruistic punishment is the neurobiological impulse at the root of morality itself.

But it should be restrained. And people need to think deeply: Are these poor souls are being so cruel in defending really so weak that they cannot defend themselves? Are they really this sensitive that they are wounded and scarred by the most trivial verbal gaffe?

Is the imagined cruelty one seeks to avenge actually greater than the deliberate and calculated cruelty the avenger seeks to visit upon the supposed original wrongdoer?

Is the cruelty one is about to deliberately add to the world really likely to make the world a less cruel place? Or just a crueler one?

And one needs to ask -- am I really doing this to save my poor victim cohort, or am I just doing it because cruelty feels good and this is the only socially-permissible outlet for behaving cruelly?

It's this cycle -- imagining a minor slight to be a major one, then escalating this minor alleged cruelty into a major bout of intentional, coordinated group cruelty (group shaming, viral punishment, etc.) -- that is turning the internet, and the society that it shapes, into a never-ending Vicious Circle.

It's time to start letting some things go, and start letting the alleged third-party victims maybe do some complaining and self-defending first before the world jumps in to make every minor squabble a major cultural battle.

Open Blog. Here's a game. The forbidden word is elephant. Pretend "elephant" is the most vulgar, offensive, politically incorrect word that exists. You can make allusions to it, you can euphemize, you can say "the e-word" -- but whatever you do, you may not say elephant. It's too obscene and controversial.

It seems to me that an obvious protest to drive home how stupid this is would be for guys to just start walking into the women's restroom and hanging out.

Since the official policy is that anyone can use any bathroom, nothing they could do about it, right?

very strong. I don't know whether they test for steroids, but even
still just the cardio they do is intense.

My sister-in-law does that. I very much doubt that she takes steroids, but she is impressively strong. Particularly since she is about 5'1" and weighs about 90 pounds soaking wet.

Her husband, my brother, is a crossfit fanatic, if you are wondering how she got into it.

200 I see a slightly different situation forming from this gender-neutral thing.

At any significant event, a trip to the restroom is met by a certain degree of asymmetry.

On one side, you have a door with dudes walking in and out.

On the other, you have a door with a long line of women tailing back into the hallway, out the front entrance, and halfway to the parking lot.

Perhaps the most apparent effect of gender-neutral restrooms may well be to embolden those women of stout constitution to make use of the men's room under such circumstances. And one, or two, will bring ten more, and soon...

guys, we're gonna be standing in line.

One of the C-130 squadrons here used to have a female flight engineer who was an absolute legend...the "honey bucket" in a C-130 isn't really designed for use by those of us who have indoor plumbing. Especially when we're wearing a flight suit.

They want to treat the difference between males and females as a purely cosmetic difference, and then punish boys for not acting like little girls.

Somehow, with all this anti-discrimination bullshit legislation, we have allowed the State to have its own belief system, and this quasi-state-religion trumps all others.

320 Shilling is an idiot. He was an amazing baseball player. He seemed not to realize how utterly replaceable he was as an analyst.

He practically bankrupted the state of Rhode Island with a corporate welfare scheme, ($75 million goes poof so a former jock could pretend he was a video game developer) yet the right loves him because he tweets about Noah's Ark being something other than a fairy tale. Fuck him.

ESPN doesn't need the headache. There are lots of great ex-players who can talk about baseball. Thousands of them. There was nothing Curt Shilling, analyst, brought to the table that any number of former big leaguers couldn't bring. His being a nut job made it an easy decision for ESPN.

379 Oh, man. Another terrible play in MLB. Come on guys you're the best in the world at this. Seen so many errors and dropped balls this year. I think I've seen 50 times where they drop the ball pulling it out of the glove to throw. Over and over again. What the hell? That's one of the most fundamental things every player has practiced thousands of times a year. Seriously? Did they lube up the ball or something?

When she came out, I pointed at the cart and told her that I had intended to purchase all those items as Christmas presents, but sadly would no longer be able to do so because I was going to give that money to the Salvation Army instead. Then I left the cart there and walked away.

Many years ago, back in the 80s somewhere along there, we took my paternal grandmother, who was in a nursing home to a family "shindig" thingy they always wanted to have every year or so. We did at this picnic/park area type of thing at the Furman U campus. Several in the family went there.

Now, I was my grandmother's favorite, her youngest grandchild who was older than many of her great-grandchildren. I was her little baby, and apparently I learned later, that drove some of the others up the wall. She'd apparently brag on every little I'd do when I was a baby and toddler.

So we were up there and she was sitting next to me as she was always going to do. We were all getting up and getting ready to go home, you know the process of leaving at something like that where you do it slowly.

After a little while I heard my grandmother say, "I've got to go the bathroom." I said something about we'd find her place. Then I heard say again, "I've got to go!". Then, "I've to go NOW!".

I turned and looked, and well, it was a sight. Right there in the open at Furman with other people near by, she just hiked up her dress, and well I won't go any further in the description.

I said "My God!". An aunt, her oldest, was the first to turn and look. "Mama!" she shouted. Then the rest of them turned and one of my uncles said "God damn!" out loud. His wife gave him a look at cussing that strongly.

We all just quickly formed a circle around her. Well, what are ya'll getting so upset about, she wanted to know -- I had to go!

419 a commenter after the TMZ released the Prince died of a drug overdose

As a registered nurse, it makes total sense. He died of an accidental drug overdose. Actually, I'm changing my cause of death to accidental drug overdose. There was a mid-air emergency and they had to land the plane and rush Prince to the hospital where here received naloxone and was released. Naloxone is the reversal agent we use to reverse opiate and heroin overdose. But it blocks the drug's effect for up to a few days and the patient is thrown into immediate withdrawal. Sings of opiate withdrawal are essentially really bad flu-like symptoms. The only thing that stops the withdrawal symptoms is a big old dose of the opiates. He likely took too much and stopped breathing and died. He may have been dead hours before anyone found him and rigor mortis had set in. He was probably stiff and purple when the ambulance found him and pronounced him dead at his house instead of transporting him to the hospital.

433 Years ago, there was a terrible story from somewhere in the Midwest. A family was at a t-ball game, and little boy needed to pee. Dad (stepdad?) took him to the men's room in the park and let the boy go inside by himself.

Some older guy came sauntering out a few minutes later, and when little boy didn't come out, dad went in and found the boy with his throat slashed.

That always stayed with me. I NEVER allowed my son to go in a men's room when he was traveling with me. I didn't give a damn about the looks from the women in the ladies room at my seven year old son. He didn't want to be there either, but I was not about to let him out of my sight when we were on the road.

499 "altruistic punishment: is a euphemism.

Liberals enjoy the pleasure of hatred, period. So they rationalize it into being a noble sentiment, something that is caused either by a) being wronged by, for example, fake poop swastikas b) being outraged on behalf of others who are being targeted by FAG on cakes, that the victim drew themselves

a) are minority activists, b) masochistic whites compensating for the humiliation they feel being masochists 90% of the time.

There's no need to invent fancy obfuscatory pseudoscientific bullshit terminology like "altruistic punishment".

Liberals are so narcissistic they are incapale of honest self evaluation. They imagine a mote in the conservative eye which doesn't exist. And they cannot see the beam in their own eye. At this point I would not concede their correctness on any issue. They are 100% full of shit.

Tonight on the way home from work I took the next logical step and purchased "Ultimate Sinatra", a 4 CD set spanning the highlights of his career. It's the only collection that features material from Columbia, Capitol, and Reprise. I figured it was a good place to start. (There's a box set, "The Columbia Years: The Complete Recordings", which is 12 discs. And that only goes up to 1952. Yikes.)

534 Anyone remember Justine Sacco? She was one of the first really egregious sacrifices on the altar of political correctness during this Social Justice French Revolution we're living through now.

She was taking a trip to Africa for work, and she tweeted something like, "On my way to Africa now. I hope I don't get AIDS. Just kidding! I'm white."

She was fired before her plane landed. The thing that really irked me about that is, she was making fun of herself!

She was basically saying, "Look at me! I'm a pretty and sheltered white girl. Nothing bad could ever happen to me, tee-hee!" She was fired for making a self-deprecating joke!

I'm also really pissed about Curt Schilling being fired, as well as Brendan Eich of Mozilla from a few years back, because these guys were both guilty only of expressing totally normal and mainstream political opinions.

Express the wrong sort of political opinion (even if that opinion was totally okay yesterday), or even make yourself the butt of the wrong kind of joke, and you're no longer allowed to enjoy any sort of gainful employment.

You need to be careful with the language there. I know personally that there are people with severe inoperable conditions that could either live with unremitting debilitating unmedicated pain, or take pain killers, in the quantity that one might consider abuse, and be able to function at a high level and participate in life.

I know which option I'd choose!

559 AmeriDan, Settles was a star up-and-coming football player for California State Long Beach.

Then in 1981 he got pulled over in Signal Hill, a city (entirely surrounded by Long Beach) which is also very close to where I am.

He was found hanged in his cell some time later.

As I understand it, the whole story of what really happened to him has never come out.

565 A semi-friend of mine had breast cancer surgery (and is a survivor) nine years ago. She has convinced her small town doc that she still experiences "pain."

She told me last year he prescribes 80 vicodans/month to "ease" her pain. I was gobsmacked.

Yet, I fell about the same time and tore my kneecap. Was hobbling on crutches in extreme pain, taking Tylenol, and my doc just told me he wouldn't rule out surgery, to keep taking the Tylenol, which wasn't helping. He doesn't believe in pain meds at all. Which is fine for a small percentage of the population, which I'm not. I soldiered through for months, and never went back to him. Still have bad pain.

572 Prince had a lot of strange ideas but honestly, if you're that rich and famous, you can get away with a lot. Including not kissing the Left's feet like most of Hollywood do.

Mostly what annoyed me about Prince was his taking his own work so seriously. He didn't let Weird Al do a parody. He tried to keep his cover of SOMEONE ELSE'S song off the Internet. (The original authors, Radiohead, told him to GFHS, rightly.) Dude, you wrote songs with names like "Gett Off". It's hardly the Rime of the Ancient Mariner is it?

Milt was famous for being part of the trade the Reds made with the Orioles, with Frank Robninson going to Baltimore after the 1965 season. Frank won the Triple Crown with Baltimore the next year.

I think Milt pitched the 7th inning tonight for Cincy, though.

I also know he was very weird about performances on TV, particularly late in his career.

I've been suffering from sciatica the last couple days. Yesterday the pain became much worse in my left leg than my back, although earlier today my back decided to act up again more as well.

Sigh. Was all set to see the doctor tomorrow. I might still do so, but...

Was doing some sciatica info searching on the web yesterday, and found a recommendation for St. John's Wort Oil. So I ordered some to come overnight from Amazon.

OMG. The stuff not only works, it worked like a miracle cure. I put it on my left leg and back, and 20 minutes later could walk and function again. I put it on about 4 hours ago, it's still working.

If I have another herniated disk I want to see the doctor about it, but again, OMG this stuff works. Thank you God!!

Looking at the various sets on Amazon, I noted that the 4-disc "Best of the Columbia Years" features 6 out of the 10 songs that Dylan covered on his album, so that's tempting.

The more nasal decongestant that you use the quicker your nasal cavity blocks up. Soon it opens only for a very brief time after a shot of spray. Breathing can become very addictive.

It's a much better pain reliever than narcotics, though it is an anti-seizure med and comes with its own risk. I'm am now able to do every day activites, but I am still at a pain level most would find intolerable. I'm trying to stave off another surgery, but it may be inevitable.

671 from http://www.ushistory.org/us/23f.asp

Jackson's election marked a new direction in American politics. He was the first westerner elected president, indeed, the first president from a state other than Virginia or Massachusetts. He boldly proclaimed himself to be the "champion of the common man" and believed that their interests were ignored by the aggressive national economic plans of Clay and Adams. More than this, however, when Martin Van Buren followed Jackson as president, it indicated that the Jacksonian movement had long-term significance that would outlast his own charismatic leadership.

Andrew Jackson is known to have harbored animosity for Native Americans. During his administration, many tribes were moved to reservations in the Oklahoma Territory. Van Buren, perhaps even more than Jackson, helped to create the new Democratic party that centered upon three chief qualities closely linked to Jacksonian Democracy. First, it declared itself to be the party of ordinary farmers and workers. Second, it opposed the special privileges of economic elites. Third, to offer affordable western land to ordinary white Americans, Indians needed to be forced further westward.

Andrew Jackson was making a foreign policy decision, there. This foreign nation happened to be within the borders of the US. But, yeah, the Supreme Court does not get to dictate our foreign policy to the President.

It's separation of powers. Congress could have stopped it, by any of various means at their disposal, but chose not to.

It's sort of like when GWB signed McCain-Feingold into law, while complaining that he felt it was unconstitutional and he hoped the Supreme Court would take care of it. Bitch, if you won't do your duty, why should they do your duty?

699 Since I was offline during the Prince threads, and since I didn't see anyone talk about any of this there when I looked - I thought that I would add a few tidbits of Prince knowledge.

He was the starting point guard on his high school basketball team - which was pretty impressive given the fact that he was only 5' 2". He sought out other short performers for his movies, band and videos. All those female performers you see with him were 5' tall or less.

He did all the choreography in his performances, and designed the costumes for the performers. Those Sheila E. video dance steps for example were his choreography.

If you watch the Appolonia 6 video "Sex Shooter" for example - every move the performers do was his work.

736 Do people realize what an influential and effective person he was in the history of this country? The man was all U.S. of A. in ways that are breathtaking today.

Jackson did great things. There was a reason he was on the $20 for 80 years. A few of them actually. He also caused an economic depression and made the federal government more corrupt than it had been before he came in. Sorry, I've been holding it in the last couple days, but he wasn't just some Davy Crockett character who happened to become President. If Davy Crockett didn't like Jackson, so can I.

737 no good deed, thanks for the info. Sorry about your pain, hope you can get it resolved sooner rather than later.

I consider myself quite fortunate, right now I'm having next to *no* pain. But I also acknowledge, I can't rely on this "miracle cure" forever; I need to find out what I can do to actually resolve the issue.

It's just as well, though, because you sort of need to keep one hand free to aim your pee where it needs to go. Well, unless you're sitting, that is... and come to think of it, that just might be a part of the Mime's Code.

The more nasal decongestant that you use the quicker your nasal cavity blocks up. Soon it opens only for a very brief time after a shot of spray. Breathing can become very addictive.

Seriously though the way to wean off is to spray just on nostril until the other heals . If the damage hasn't already become permanent.

Oh, and the US Capitol is removing state flags with the Confederate flag in them in a place they previously were displayed.

It's almost as if the the degradation of the country into racism, lawlessness, authoritarianism, and corruption (making it more like the rest of the world, and squandering its greatest accomplishments) just wouldn't be complete without the vile and creepy exercise of expunging history, a la the Nazi, Soviet, and other insane totalitarian viruses of recent history.

Sometimes I get the feeling that leftist accusations of "raycis!" get to people, so they are emotionally bullied into supporting a liberal cause, even if it is misguided. I wanted to let MH know there is no burden of guilt that would obligate him to support a bullshit cause. What angers me the most about liberalism is that they want to gaslight people into behaviors that oppose their interests. Spiteful envious people trying to guilt generous people who have never done anything wrong into making more concessions.

Oh, the Left has plenty of work to do.

I think the Next Big Thing will be "euthanasia," i.e., state-licensed killing, including infanticide. The Obamacare controversies and "death panel" talk put that on the back burner, but it will come back with force.

One thing on DiBlasio's agenda was to force all medical students in NYC to perform abortions to get an MD. He didn't pursue it ---too extreme even for NY right now --- but it shows where they want to go. The 21st century requires a purge of the medical profession.

And there's still a lot of damage to do in the schools and military, a lot of further ostracism of undesirables (orthodox Christians and Jews) from polite society, etc.

Oh, I note that Thomas Jefferson is being called a "rapist" by academic feminazis. Expect a slow but sure campaign against him.

Why, they have only just begun!

842 Interesting to learn that USS Yorktown was in fact turned around in 3 days out of the shipyard for the Midway operation because that's what the engineers (who were flown out to inspect before she docked at Pearl) had assessed. Just temporary crude patches and fixes for the Coral Sea damage.

Still a s**t-storm of activity to fix and then provision the ship, but not the ultra-heroic conventional wisdom that Nimitz just dropped an impossible 3-day deadline on them and they met it.

871 qdp that was me and besides actually being "out of touch" all day (range duty day), I was making a very very modest stab at mild humor, assuming that in fact the Whole Foods non-story was vying for Most Transparently Fraudulent Stupid "Intolerance" Incident of the year (in the sad vile insane asylum the US public square has become, that's a stiff competition).

And using the courts isn't, per se, "fighting dirty". On the contrary, though, you have ID'd one of the most important tools used to make America less free, less just, less prosperous, and less secure. Lawfare.

But lawfare wouldn't accomplish much without that other key ingredient - a lawless judiciary, devolved into part-unaccountable legislature, part-CPSU Politburo.

And yes the WF CEO published a devastating op-ed in the WSJ about the idiocy that is O-care before it happened. The former Vons CEO did an equally devastating op-ed on the same general topic earlier in the WSJ, though you had to be somewhat sentient and economically literate to get the implications (meaning the impact was quite small across the country).

876 I used to have long hair. Gorgeous, shoulder-length, wavy copper-red hair.

But it started thinning out on top, so I cut it all off. As Bobcat Goldthwait used to say, "It's hard to look cool with long hair when you're bald. You end up looking like Ben Franklin."

Well, anyway, back when I had that long hair, I used to wear an old Marine Corps jacket from WWII that I'd bought at Flossie McGrew's, a combination thrift/costume store.

But then, when I started cutting my hair down to the scalp, people would see me wearing that jacket and mistake me for an actual Marine. As much as I loved that jacket, I had to stop wearing it after that. I didn't like having people accord me that sort of respect when I hadn't earned it.

I still have the jacket. If we have a retired Marine around here, I'd be happy to give it to him. It seems a shame to let such a nice coat go to waste in my closet.

882 Interesting thing about Schilling is that early in his career nobody thought much of him. He was a throw-away addition in the Glenn Davis for Pete Harnisch/Steve Finley/Curt Schilling trade between the Houston Astros and Baltimore Orioles. When he was in the Orioles farm system (I think they got him from the Phillies?) he was not as highly regarded as John Habyan or Pete Harnisch, who ultimately had a brain freeze when he played for the Mets and had to retire with control problems. So now you know. Btw, the Glenn Davis was perhaps the worst DC area trade of all time, right up there with the Gerald Riggs trade to Atlanta for a first and a second.

Posted by: bjk at April 22, 2016 08:47 AM (x2rNW)

883 Oh yeah, he was traded to Orioles from the Red Sox in the Mike Boddicker for Brady Anderson/Curt Schilling trade. Brady Anderson was the big name in that trade, so the Red Sox obviously didn't think much of Schilling either.

885 One correction:
"But if you say "You're an asshole" to one of his designated victim cohorts he is honor-bound to defend and avenge..."

As has been pointed out on this blog, society (particularly of the SJWs) has shifted to one of victimhood. The "he" in this case is likely seeking to bolster his own power through identifying with the victim. Also likely, as the power they seek relies on an authoritarian regime to dole it out, they are attempting to squarely place themselves on the side of authority. They care not what rights are trampled, so long as they (naively) feel they are doing the trampling.
