In thinking about how past sins tend to historically dissipate . . . When asked recently whether Israel had a right to exist, Miko Peled, born into that Zionist society, now a fervent anti-Zionist/pro-Palestinian, answered: "NO apartheid state has the right to exist."
By that no-apartheid standard, not only the former South Africa (recent history), but several other states (e.g., Rwanda) should not have existed. But realistically, let's include the USA until maybe the very late 20th Century -- from the perspective of African Americans; and not at all -- from the perspective of Native Americans, still basically living an apartheid existence. Look closely and you'll see how apartheid seems fundamentally woven into human societies. And AI, created by such minds, is going to save us? Not!
