If the government does it it's not murder, because murder is specifically unlawfull killing. I also agree that tax evasion should not be punished by the death penalty, but prison and extremely harsh fines would be a good start imo.
That's a really difficult question to answer, I think in this case it's ok if there is actually a mental illness or a consequence. I happen to know that my sibling who hates it when anybody chews gum in their vicinity doesn't suffer much from it and doesn't have a poorer quality of life. Them asking me to stop chewing so loudly just makes me feel bad about something I have no control over just as me chewing loudly makes them feel bad because they don't like the sound.
I had the opposite experience (based on the title): I read Goedel, Escher Bach because I thought programming and math were really interesting and it ended up getting me into music.
I did actually read it but I noticed that a lot of the comments were complaining of the sound and I also have a sibling who is really irritating about this. ^^
I fully understand that some people have misophonia and I can't blame them for complaining.
Can I just say that I genuinely hate the kind of people who complain about the sounds of other people going about their normal life? Chewing is absolutely normal and I don't enjoy hearing it either but I would never actually go up to someone and tell them to stop chewing so loudly. It's just a ridiculous complaint.
I feel like a lot of the comments here are strawmanning a bit (or a lot).
Apple and most big manufacturers (in all sectors and industries) who see what they can get away with are purposely abusing copyright law and making deliberate choices in their design and policy that do nothing except hinder the repair of their devices.
The right-to-repair people like Luis Rossmann want legislation to stop these practices.
Some people in the comments are extending that to mean that they want manufacturers to only create modular and bulky devices with yesterdays technology when it seems clear (at least to me) that what they actually want is the ability to legitimately purchase replacement parts from OEMs and legitimate access to the sort of manuals and schematics that are available to their internal refurbishers and technicians.
I don't think it's reasonable to require that manufacturers design their devices to be repairable at the cost of other considerations that are more important to the end user.
I do think it's reasonable to require manufacturers to stop these practices that don't benefit the end user or even harm their experience in order to keep a tight grip on the device that they supposedly purchased and should own completely.
