There is an out of control trolley speeding towards Jeremy Bentham, who is tied to the track. You can pull the lever to cause the trolley to switch tracks, but on the other track is Immanuel Kant. Bentham is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Critique of Pure Reason. Kant is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Principles of Moral Legislation. Both men are shouting at you that they have recently started to reconsider their ethical stances.

There was quite a bit of Math behind it and they had a relative number and it was fairly small within zero zero point ranges ._. You would need a much larger explosive to trigger a ignition of the gasses in the atmosphere they did not know the exact size due to them being unaware of the yield of the device but they ran guess work based upon the Nuclear research and detonations they had used in the past.

All in all i would say that was one of the more thought out expriments using Nuclear weapons to be honest unlike the post war testing (1948-1954) which was completely horrid due to them more or so less running fallout measurement and radiation yield testing on their own people.

Like Japan was not enough evidence as far as such things went but such is the pragmatism of sceince.

They didn't officially legalize crack, though. There's still an untested variable there.

Of course, myself and people I care about will be organising the event so they wont be able to participate. :p

In the interest of Science, specifically testing the effectiveness of corporal punishment,
we shall institute a strict ban on soft drugs on Campuses, monitored by mandatory hair analysis ( going skin-headed shall be construed as 'guilty' of course ).
It will be interesting to see if drugs-consumption does fall after there is very little chance of escaping a proper flogging after partaking in a joint.

I want to see what kind of records and results we'd come out with if we encouraged drug use in sports instead of banning it. Not just performance enhancing drugs either. Set up tournaments where each team gets messed up on a particular recreational drug before playing.

That's the principle behind those crowd control pain rays, if memory serves. Makes you feel like you're on fire because it's cooking the water in your cells, so you leg it and stop being a dirty protester.

Hit your dog every single day. I guarantee you one day he'll bite you, and once he's done that, he'll be so shit scared of what you'll do to him for biting you he'll straight up try to murder you.
By letting people know that any further action cannot possibly give further punishment, you legalize EVERYTHING.
If mass protest = death, you have just made it legal for mass protestors to do WHATEVER they like. You cannot punish them further
