Regularly, professional athletes are outed for using performance enhancing drugs. It happens with such regularity, that one can assume that there are two sets of moral views on the roles of these drugs in sports.
So what if sports that are constantly hit by these scandals launch parallel ‘roid leagues. Keep the drug-free version for those who believe sport should be about the testing of human capabilities and have the drug-enhanced version for those who want to see how far drugs can take human performance. Such leagues can attract the sponsorship and participation of drug companies.
These leagues can co-exist like how for many sports, amateur and professional codes co-exist.
If participants in drug-free codes are caught, they are immediately transferred to the drug-enhanced league.
In a just society, the rule of law must reign supreme.
But sometimes individuals commit such unspeakable acts that inspire immense anger in society. Serial killers, rapists – and even those that are mentally disturbed and commit horrific and senseless acts against children.
Perhaps there is an opportunity to create a gaming platform where society is allowed to vent their anger and frustration on these individuals without actually harming these individuals. Making them the virtual targets in a point-and-shoot game for example.
This might be an extreme measure, but potentially will help society deal with the incredible injustices that are sometimes caused by individuals.
How about if governments tried a system of reverse lotteries as a form of taxation. Instead of everybody paying tax, everybody earning an income should play a monthly lottery. If your number comes up, you should pay all your profits into the government coffers. A centralised computer system can keep track of what is required to keep the budget balanced so will allocate “winning” numbers until each month is paid up.
