2969 Police Ambivalence - Call In Show - May 6th, 2015

Question 1: I live in Baltimore and have experienced the rioting first hand. I question the Constitutionality of the curfew, but I am at the same time overjoyed at the curfew. I live in a beautiful but noisy section of town - normally lots of fights outside in the middle of the night. I’m surprised at how quickly I stepped off my principles to wallow in the short-term gratification of peace and quiet - and a decrease in the likelihood that there would be more property damage. Can you help me understand my ambivalence? | Question 2: How do I deal with the feeling of hopelessness and inferiority that I get from not being able to (directly) positively impact my own outcomes in spite of the fact that I have been able to help many others achieve what I desire? I want to be a good father for my son, and I don’t want him to grow up with this lack of agency as a role model. | Question 3: Many years ago there was a scene in an episode of Futurama where the human race goes extinct because they all chose sex robots that look exactly like celebrities, such as Marilyn Monroe, instead of dating each other and having children. While far-fetched years ago, it seems probable than within less than a decade there might be a thriving sex robot industry. So in the long run, how is marriage and human-to-human sexual relationships going to compete with sex robots?
