The Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson SCOTUS confirmation hearings mark the moment at which "Miner's Law" about child porn, becomes a part of the public conversation.
See the clip from Michael Knowles' podcast, What is a woman? Episode 970, at 18:40.
When browsing on the internet, it's trivial to download thousands and thousands of illegal images with the click of a finger. KHJ acknowledges this, showing that she understands Miner's Law :
"All internet content aspires to the condition of pornography; all pornography aspires to the condition of child pornography; therefore all internet content aspires to the condition of child pornography."
It's part of the essential dynamic of the internet to infantilize and make pedophiles of us all; KBJ understands this; the conservatives do not.
Everybody with a few images on their computer gave a sigh of relief at hearing Ketanji Brown Jackson articulate how EASY IT IS to accidentally collect inappropriate images -- totally by accident! -- while browsing the net. FINALLY, someone who understands "Miner's Law." There's not really any daylight between innocently sitting down at a computer . . . and sitting down at a computer to intentionally download Kiddy-Porn. The computer forces me to do it, basicly. Only a high-horse, pedophile-hating, moralistic goofus like Jim Jordan would hold that against me. Further mealy-mouthed self-serving, abjuring-of-agency language.
Tongue-in-cheekreference to Texaco's seemingly-insignificant error of drilling a 14"-diameter bore-hole into da roof of da Diamond Crystal Salt Company's hacked-out chasm underneath Lake Pigneur; as we all know, though, said comparatively-tiny geological puncture was ANYTHING BUT "miner" --- I mean, minor!
Poking a merely-foot-two-inch-diameter hole into da roof of a hollowed-out salt-cavern may indeed not sound very serious or dangerous, but when you consider dat (1) there was an entire lake on top of said fissure, and (2) da material surrounding said unintended vent was largely composed of readily-dissolvable salt --- which of course would just erode away and thus rapidly make said erroneous orifice progressively bigger --- said "miner mistake" was hardly "small potatoes", after all!!
