One thinks you have a whole system now that tell people their primary contribution is to take pictures of themselves.

In all the technological advances one has seen, the primary change-over was social media. It’s a ‘me’ world, not a ‘we’ world.

But one hopes and prays that it is a blip on the screen. People will realize their mobiles are destroying society, and put them down.

We didn’t build this world, we inherited it. We woke up in a world totally designed for our welfare. And we take it for granted.

In that case we have to shun AI entirely. And make those who use it pariahs. We have to value human content much more than AI models, and depend on one another to uphold such a code of ethics.

Immigrants came looking for a better life. No doubt. But they worked for less money, and took full livelihoods away from working class people. Sorry, that’s just the case. And the profits went upward instead of outward.

Then the ambitious ones were like, I’ll just hire 32 immigrants at half the cost. Then 32 men lost their jobs, or were forced to take a huge payout.

Now we have AI as the new immigrants coming for white collar jobs.

Are we going to be mad at AI? Or the people who harness it to create a world that works best for them, everyone else be damned?

Reversely, people who get actual shit done with their hands and physical effort tend to be rightwing.

One thinks Americans were doers—we do stuff. That was the model. We don’t just sit around and think. Europeans did that, which made them poorer.

However, even the original model has become depleted. People neither do, nor think. We wait for immigrants to do things for us, then we complain about immigrants.

Now we have a disconnect. We think ourselves into some ideological compliance, then we do nothing. Left or right.

But it is making us dumber, even high logic and high learning. Then we expect everything to be done for us.

Nothing to say. Nice emoji. Don’t even know how to access emojis.

That’s funny. One has never taken a razor to their face in their whole life. So good call.

We use a clippers or a scissors.

If you would like to explain this incorrect assumption, that would be more helpful. But you can’t actually muster the words, you just seethe anger and calumny.

Which is why you take the time to shave. Because you have nothing else to do or say.

It’s not about criminals. More native born people in this country are criminals by far. Do you want to deported them as well?

It was always about deterrent. Fine. We let all these people in. But we have our own problems that we must address first.

And it is sad that so many people were affected. But the previous administration threw out all of the rules and let countless people flood in while neglecting their own population so rich people could get richer.

Now it must end. The deterrence was quite effective. And deporting was never as important as enforcing border laws.

Do we have a country or not? If thry can enforce their laws on me, why not them?

Obviously because rich people need maids and low-wage workers.

Beloved, that was a great response. Let us dwell on it for a moment. As siblings.

Please keep trying to capture the truth.

One just speaks to the rooster on the other side of the fence, there is no special knowledge here that cannot be found elsewhere.

Your thought expresses humility, which is a rare quality. The original theory was that ‘seemingness’ does not equal actual reality.

If you actually possess that knowledge, which you express … accuracy over content … then we are not far apart.

Much love to my siblings. We are all one. We are trying to work it out. Believe we will succeed, though the flow is infinite.

Anybody from the UK saying ‘clown shoes’ is an example of why it’s funny.

Pot call kettle black, basically.

Your whole culture is clown shoes. You can’t even speak your own language without a speech impediment.

One comes from the US where rightwing people strap on boots everyday and do the hardest tasks.

Truly praying for the most fallen, ridiculous, and unforgiven country the world has right now.

UK? It’s like saying ‘dogfood’. It means nothing. It’s sad and interesting to watch. The people who gave us the English language obviously have no ability to use it.

Conversely, rightwing people in the US are lazy in mental perspective. They simplify the most complex issues into easily identifiable patterns which are illusionary.

But one understand why. Because they do the hardest jobs, and create social stability, with their grit and determination. Higher level observations simply don’t help them get the job done.

Let’s do rightwing bullshit. Since we’re there. You get your garbage taken away every week, on time, almost exactly the same time, and you don’t have to think about it.

Go to Russia. Bridges fall down, everyone lives in the wake of a left-wing fantasy, and nobody is kind unless you have something to offer them.

Now let’s do a revolution so some psychopath can take over and destroy all common decency.

Do you think Trump is right-wing? That’s laughable. He’s too funny to be right-wing, and has too many unclear goals.

Right-wing people have their faults, for sure, but one of them is not immodesty and laziness. It’s not people who can barely keep their pants up, or have them so tight they appear to be glued on.

Thank you for the reply. With all due respect to our elder, one would argue this doesn’t entirely have to do with education, as such.

Americans have long been socialized to be ‘doers’ of things, not thinkers. So while our European counterparts in the West were still critically thinking, we were building skyscrapers and dune buggies. It’s a difference in kind, not in degree.

However, we literally couldn’t build a skyscraper anymore without immigrants from other, less coddled cultures. We have fallen into a trap of ‘safety-ism’. A Buddhist concept of ‘do no harm’ (ahimsa) denuded of its cultural significance.

If one adds this cultural dimension stripped of raw ‘doer’ mentality to the incumbent anti-intellectual nature of our culture, we are left not only with unthinking people, but gutless people as well.

The idea is that this strange combination is infantilizing the humans within its grip, and stripping them of their moral and experiential character—character producing morality based on experience.

Thank you. Danka shoen, for your reply. Spent several months in Germany, and this does not (as yet) apply your rigid but complex and beautiful culture.

The concept mentioned here is that bad education is infantilizing kids—not simply miseducating, but specifically coddling and preventing them from growing up.

Further, the theory included herein is that, by doing this ‘coddling’ and ‘teaching to a test’, rather than seeking true education, experimentation, and maturation, we are holding minds in a perpetual childhood, which is reflected in physical appearance.

That is the radical idea presented. That by feeding kids alphabet soup for 18 years, they do not physically mature either. They become stunted, much the same way a malnourished person (during childhood) does not reach their full growth potential. But it’s a face and eyes thing, rather than a height thing.

Could not make a coherent argument. Tries shaming ritual. Fails.

White man. Slept next to a biracial black-asian man for 12 years. Diverse group of friends. Enjoyed both soul food, and food from Seoul.

Wealth stratification remains the main problem. Use of identity politics and DEI and race-guilt is a method employed by the elites to divide us.

Keep digging into the past, and utilizing emotional manipulation to further the cause of the true dividers and one will discover the dystopia unimaginable even to MLK.

Of course. Give them a camera. Their natural desire to be in control will take over.

Understood. You have no identity within reality, and thus everything is suspect to be artificial. Which is the state of Being within reality: non-belief (not merely as reality, but as a potentiality of reality).

One is drawn into a conclusion which is based upon the presupposition of non-reality. Which leads them deeper into their own suspicions, i.e, things and even critiques are not real, which means ‘I am Correct’, perpetually.

It seems complicated. Such a interesting state of being. Continue…

When movies become great again (MMGA) then we will watch them with rapture attention.

What we have now are filmmakers who are attempting to remake the magic of films from their childhood (when films represented a kind of currency, or surplus value) or else draw us into a retrospective continuation of filmia-as-philosophy. Like scripture vs. apologetics (if one can follow).

Late-medieval and European-rennaissance art was actually reactionary, prescriptive, imitative craftsmanship. What we often conceptualize as masterpiece is actually imitation (Roman classical-cum-Greek, Van Eyk, etc…), which falls far short of the truly revolutionary. We remember film as the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle version of painting-as-art, when it was historically nothing more than coding (presentation).

Which means we have an artwork which is imitating an artwork, which was an imitation. Which is boring. And people who want a job in that industry are willing to observe the small number of instances in which true artistic innovation was evident, but don’t actually believe they will be permitted to engage in such exploration. Which is boring and trite.
