  • How do I unrot my brain from AI, and is improv a good enough way to fix an AI-rotted brain?

  • Also:

    • put down your phone.

    Replace it when you can. Notepad. Wristwatch. Books. Go analog when you can and try to make due without it when you can't. Weird how difficult it is to go (even an hour) without access to your phone.

  • I did.

    Discussing ways in which we can stop abusing each other is not a simple conversation because the forms and justification of that abuse can take any number of shapes.

    An oversimplificafion of a complex and multifaceted problem can at least provide us with the context and vocabulary necessary to begin meaningful discourse - but it could not, by definition, allow us to address the core of such a problem.

    Broadcast the message until it reaches saturation: Repetitive broadcast of a basic and simplified "Don't steal" message is of itself useless for addressing the core of the problem, such an oversimplificafion only helps to establish a basic moral context and to educate those who are stealing simply because they are ignorant of the act. In a society where theft is rampant due to lack of education basic messaging becomes the start of a solution not the end of it.

    An oversimplificafion message that we need to seek consent is equally useless to anyone who already understands the concept but it has directly lead us to this very conversation now, and without that we would not be ABLE to begin discussing the core problem and potential solutions for it.

    Your point that this messaging could be prevented and end up doing more harm than good is, I feel, valid. Addressing the core of the problem would mean creating a society where we value each other enough so that we stop preying upon each other. I'm.. not seeing a talking basket of fries leading us to do that - but it is possible that any insights we might generate through this reactive discourse might be useful in that effort.

    Education alone does not get us to a place where "don't harm others" becomes a self-evident mandate. Messaging alone does not allow us to value and respect each other enough to stop harming each other. Teaching compassion for each other at a level necessary to transform a society to the point where it evolves enough to stop harming itself... I mean, at the very least that would require more than just a taco?

  • Personally, I think the message featured in these posters is of the utmost importance.

    I think it should be broadcast and re-broadcast, at all levels, until the population has been saturated by it.

    That the message is here being broadcast using signage suitable for a fourth grade classroom but aimed at a college demographic is horrifying. That such signage would be a necessary tool of communication within that demographic is fucking TERRIFYING.

    This was posted not to belittle the message or to make light of our need for it - but to highlight just how pitifully we have failed as a culture/civilization for having the need to implement it..

    I considered deleting this post entirely, under the notion that my intentions had misfired badly. But the discourse in this thread seems like it has as much potential to be a part of the solution as a talking anthropomorphic taco.

  • Seems to be about a 3rd - 4th grade level. Probably still too advanced.

  • Not my intention to disparage the effort or make light of the problem.

    But to see such weighty subject matter addressed by a cartoon at a college level is both surreal and terrifying.

  • The movie was based loosely on a 'non-fiction' book written by radio host and conspiracy theorist Art Bell.

    So basically, that's where we are currently with the state of discourse involving environmental science. We are being warned about something of massive significance and dire consequence by way of a reference to a 20 year old Roland Emmerich movie based on a book written by a loonie...

    I'm not real hopeful for our chances as a species..

  • At what point does a person become an "adult"?

  • You're a child until you're 30.

    Being an "Adult" just means there is a 50 - 50 that you are able to recognize the right decision / course of action in any given situation.

    NOTHING guarantees that this recognition means anything at all...
