San Diego Cardinal McElroy says #CatholicChurch must 'redesign' #justwartheory, favor #nonviolent action

Two objections to autonomous weapons systems:
1. Anti-codifiability argument (that robots can't make moral decisions)
2. Lacking the right-kind-of reasons argument (even if robots could make moral decisions, they could not do so for the "right reasons")
See why Erich Riesen rejects both of those arguments in this 10-minute video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3XGmRtYv8Cc

π’ International Relations colleagues! π’ Teaching IR theories this term? Want to spice up the curriculum? How about my article in International Studies Quarterly presenting an #anarcho-#pacifist reading of #IR (freely available via #openaccess): https://academic.oup.com/isq/article/66/4/sqac070/6748234? ππ
Short summary: Paper seeks to articulate overdue #anarchopacifist lens to #IR #theory. Explicitly #critical & #normative. Starts with brief #history of cross-pollination between #anarchism & #pacifism.
Then articulates 5 main an-pac contributions on: #fetishization of #violence; chronic sliding towards systemic #militarism; intersectional state-enforced #exploitation/#domination; structurings of international politics (current & potential); & questions of #politicalagency.
Throughout & towards end, positions these ideas against more established schools of #IRtheory, from #justwartheory to #realism, #liberalism, #Marxism, #poststructuralism, #feminism & others.
