  @ganonmaster @thomasfuchs "society" has nothing to do with it. don't blame everyone for the lousy behavior of a handful of rich sociopaths who've captured the media @walruslifestyle I just see this as the net result of the system we exist in. Please don't misinterpret my post as an indictment of all the people who make up our society. There are obvious nuances to be found that a simple statement like that one doesn't express. @ganonmaster OK i understand. i just wonder what the value is in implicating society at large when it'd be not so hard to name individuals. if anything i feel like society pushes us in the direction of not naming names especially when they're the names of the powerful. but i get it.  @asdflushy @ganonmaster I never get over how good humans are at solving certain super hard problems I feel the same every time a techbro tries to tell me a shit 1080p camera is better than a human eye. Not just at resolving an image but for image processing as well. The crass and gross understanding of how good even a poor human is at doing stuff is why these people think they can replace them, or pay them slave wages. |
@ganonmaster @thomasfuchs I remember thinking this as a child after reading the story of Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs in a computer magazine!
