Do other countries not condemn us ultimately for this stuff? Like Russia invaded another nation and the whole world 'sanctioned' them economically, why has no one sanctioned US for these mass injustices?
How...How have I gone so long without hearing about any of this at all? Like I always hear we are evil, but the specifics are chalked up to 'cold war hysteria/propaganda'
Consider me spooked, and many thanks for the awareness boost OP!
I think the sense of losing touch with the speed of new tech is unavoidable in our current state of over-reliance on it.
In this sense, if you feel you aren't losing touch with it, you're probably misunderstanding the scale/depth of our rapidly accelerating situation imho
Both sides having valid points is almost always the case with issues of any complexity. I'm very curious to know why there isn't a sweeping trump card that ultimately deems one side as significantly more ethical than the other
Great analysis tho--very thankful for the excellent breakdown unless you used ai to do it or if that ai is ultimately not justifying the means adequately. No actually I'm thankful regardless but I'm still internally conflicted by the unknown
Humbly requesting an explanation for the polarized takes on this. How are we so specifically split 50/50 rejoicing for the utility and cursing the 'slop' at the same? Someone sway me to a side? I'm addicted to reserving judgement
You have now anti-sold me and hyper-enlightened me with some very worthwhile wisdom. I can not say thank you enough--I truly need more like you in my life
It's always hegel. It's always a fundamental impossibility that exists in everything. Has there really been 0 philosophers of any merit since Hegelian dialectics?
Do you really not see an issue with the approach being taken here? You're looking for resources that you assume will help you, but in the spirit of the matrix movies, "You can't see past the decisions you haven't made yet."
The brain hasn't evolved to retain information it doesn't deem useful. I guess what I'm really getting at is, how can you be confident that anything supplied here will be retained if you were previously unaware you even needed to know in the first place? Don't underestimate the value of deep learning via experience rather than preparation imho. I promise I'm not shade-throwing, I was much like you when I was younger and have a couple similar reddeet posts, and it was mostly wasteful preparing to prepare nonsense if that makes sense.
I respect these words of wisdom immensely as someone who should have had a mentor spell this out for me years ago.
I'm not trying to bothsides you at all because I agree with you 99%.
I just wanted to add a few niche areas like appliance/car/repairs/etc, videoform can be lifesavingly convenient in pinches
But most importantly reading is fundamental
Took the words out me mouth perfectly
