The best way to deal with all the criminals is to make sure all their needs were met as children growing up. The family unit fails miserably. If we really wanted to end human suffering and crime, religious hatred, racism, childhood poverty, all mental, physical and sexual abuse, most mental illness.... We would raise all of the children in Kibutzes. But apparently most people on earth oppose that idea, so that means to me that they enjoy drama, stress, suffering and anxiety. They don't really care about their child's future just about their needs being met. If it is genetic, there is no hope for the human race. If it is environmental, we could raise all the children where all their needs are met in communes that have many toys and playing fields indoors and outdoors where adults are paired off in threes with cameras and microphones everywhere to ensure there is no child abuse. The first nine months in the womb is the most important for a fetus, then baby. Too much stress and anxiety and cortisol causes the fetus's brain to evolve differently. In my humble opinion, I think that the babies can be raised up to think instinctually and emotionally, but not rationally like a human. Anyone who believes in the supernatural is unfit to vote. Also anyone with a 135 IQ in my opinion is unfit to vote and that might include me, but that is okay with me, because, like Plato I want the philosopher Kings to rule, not the San Quentin prison crowd rule. But getting back to flogging and self supporting penal colonies. Flogging did stop a lot of bearing false witness and Petty thefts. Where is the point of self-sustaining penal colonies for life is to get the crazies out of our hair. I don't know if we have enough money to lock them up in mental institutions. That would probably cost about $60,000 a piece a year. Of course I would support locking them up and taking care of them as would all progressives, but currently, the right wingers have gave us about a 35 trillion dollar national debt. Bear failed policies of free trade, immigration, trickle down, capitalist healthcare, offshore banking, unfunded wars, corporate welfare, bank bailouts, interest on the national debt, no taxation of churches, have cost the middle class about 100 trillion dollars or more in my opinion. The Republican plan will probably be to bulldoze them and throw them all into the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic.
Think about the philosopher king ruling idea. With DJT you got one, just not the philosophy that you and I have. You may get your Philosopher King, but just not the philosophy you are hoping for.
As regards childhood development. While my first inclination is to agree. I have to point out my own family. Myself and two sisters were raised in a project, by a single mother, who acted out her frustrations and anger, on us kids,, she worked in a bank for $1 an hour and was totally absorbed in her own woes and self pity, to the exclusion of us kids.
Yet we three grew up fine, or at least as well as can be in this world. I'm a retired "mustang" (enlisted to officer) have an MBA, my son and his daughter have PhD's.
I could never be a millionaire, because I have morals (not Christian morals, but a sense of right and wrong and a conscience, none of which I picked up from my mother, who was essentially absent, except she made me fight my own battles, would not coddle me, and had me perform household chores, and woe if I didn't.
In case you didn't know it, there is a genetic component to our makeup, not just physical, but
in our character and personality, as well as a cultural. It is nature and culture, not or.
You may not want a 135 IQ, so you got a 90 IQ DJT. He may not be your idea of a philosopher king, but he is one for about 74 million voters.
By the way as a fetus, my father was a US Marine, a private who married without his commanders permission (1938) so my mother, pregnant with me, had to live on what was left after my Dad's pay of $30 a month, in a rented room eating left over meals, and using one sheet of toilet paper while carrying me, she was malnourished and lost two teeth, and other nutrients because a fetus is like a parasite, it takes what it needs from the host, leaving the host to make up the difference, in her case she had no way to replenish, not on cold mashed potatoes.
Yet I have or had, a 138 IQ, but don't sweat it I have had no desire to be president. Too much responsibility and still you aren't your own boss, you may be able to threaten and fire or ruin people, but there is a cabal of plutocrats that you answer to and without their support you are nothing.
I also have a conscience and that means that I am no good at selling unsought goods, or to deceive and defraud people, and that makes me bad at business and politics.
I had friends, fraternal twins, Jack and Jerry. Jerry had a high IQ and chose a career path of being a criminal, and wound up behind bars at Holmesburg State Prison. his 90 IQ brother Jack, got married and made a career as a printer. Dad was an unemployed alcoholic who bragged constantly about his days running with criminals.Jerry with the high IQ chose a career in crime, Jack with the low IQ the opposite. So what happened in the womb, for the two to turn out so differently?
In the orthodox Jewish culture, the Talmud and the law of return in Israel. A person born of a Jewish mother is a Jew, apparently the reasoning is that their identity is inculcated in the womb, by the mother.
Apparently this is what you believe. The fetus is not affected by the noise that it hears, or the motion it feels. It is isolated, and the brain has not yet developed enough to record or be affected by noise. What it grows up to be is determined by biological and cultural "DNA"
