The answer to a problem is never going to be to insist that everything other than the desired answer is totally and unequivocably false. If you actually want to resolve this, instead of turning it into yet another hanging conflict, you’re going to have to be honest about why concerns exist.

Eh… everyone has different reasons, and I’m sure there’s a healthy diversity of types involved in this shit.

I saw a really interesting Ted Talk from a Google engineer waaaaaaay back in or before 2007 (I think), discussing the upcoming danger of algorithms isolating people in echo chambers.
Apparently the problem we’ve got right now is not that people can’t foresee these problems, but rather that those in charge, for whatever reason, are completely ignoring the warnings from their own engineers.

Yes, lets ignore real problems in favour of turning them into partisan shouting matches.
It’s worked so well until now.

You’re not wrong. I still remember the day I picked up a newspaper and saw the headline “video games earn more than movies for the first time ever,” and I immediately knew where the industry was headed. In retrospect, I was 100% correct.

Clearly they would rather be consumed by other things instead.

Well we’re going to suffer until enough people do figure it out.
The sad part is that this is a very well known phenomena, yet people become too consumed by everything else to even care about learning of such warnings left behind by long dead civilizations.

Huh, that kind of gets the juices going, and I’m wondering how much we’ve been trying to make our problems fit the technologies we’ve built, rather than the other way around.

Civilization exists because enough people know that we’re better off working together than against each other.

Now Trump has poisoned the American brand for at least a generation.
Bitch please. Trump is far from the only reason people hate the USA. Especially after they used the Internet as a trojan horse to launch mass surveillance upon the entire globe.

- Comment on One major issue with social media is that it operates on a first come, first served basis. This essentially rules out the possibility of well-considered, well-researched content being successful. 5 weeks ago:
That same problem still exists even when sorting by upvotes, because the earlier a comment is posted the more people will see and be able to vote on it, pushing it higher.
- Comment on How the US is turning into a mass techno-surveillance state 1 month ago:
Laws aren’t enough for something of this magnitude. The general population needs to grow to match the much greater challenges presented by modern technology, or we’re going to descend into another dark age until we do learn how to behave.

I’ve had arguments with people in simple little games, where the points barely matter at all, because some people get upset if others don’t play for pure efficiency.

Perhaps all the above could be summed up by “Capitalist Greed”…??? 🤡 🖕
No. It’s can’t. And you’re actively hurting your efforts by attaching high school edgelord bullshit to it.
Corruption has been a seriously problem everywhere, forever, and does not care one bit what words the ruling party uses to express themselves.

Most other people who you interact with aren’t actually seeing you individually. Instead they are confronting images they’ve previously developed regarding one or two characteristics they noticed. Don’t take what they say too personally.
