Biography

Giovanni Battista Desio was born in Naples, Italy on 28 April 1628 and ordained a priest on 8 April 1651.[2] On 28 April 1628, he was appointed during the papacy of Pope Urban VIII as Bishop of Venosa.[1][2] On 16 May 1674, he was consecrated bishop by Giulio Spinola, Bishop of Nepi e Sutri, with Giacomo de Angelis, Archbishop Emeritus of Urbino, and Pier Antonio Capobianco, Bishop Emeritus of Lacedonia, serving as co-consecrators.[2] He served as Bishop of Venosa until his death in August 1677.[1][2]

gollark: It's easy to say that if you are just vaguely considering that, running it through the relatively unhurried processes of philosophizing™, that sort of thing. But probably less so if it's actually being turned over to emotion and such, because broadly speaking people reaaaallly don't want to die.
gollark: Am I better at resisting peer pressure than other people: well, I'd *like* to think so, but so would probably everyone else ever.
gollark: Anyway, I have, I think, reasonably strong "no genocide" ethics. But I don't know if, in a situation where everyone seemed implicitly/explicitly okay with helping with genocides, and where I feared that I would be punished if I either didn't help in some way or didn't appear supportive of helping, I would actually stick to this, since I don't think I've ever been in an environment with those sorts of pressures.
gollark: Maybe I should try arbitrarily increasing the confusion via recursion.
gollark: If people are randomly assigned (after initial mental development and such) to an environment where they're much more likely to do bad things, and one where they aren't, then it seems unreasonable to call people who are otherwise the same worse from being in the likely-to-do-bad-things environment.I suppose you could argue that how "good" you are is more about the change in probability between environments/the probability of a given real world environment being one which causes you to do bad things. But we can't check those with current technology.
