Radiolab takes down episode “Truth Trolls”
- marojejian 9y agoWhen I heard this I had to listen to it. Found it here: https://iono.fm/e/461744 https://iono.fm/e/461744 I love Radioloab, and anticipated sympathizing with them in this episode. However, I must say I think their coverage was rather callous and sympathetic to the trolls. Their thematic point was pretty tenuous. While the trolls' abilities are impressive, they are pitiful assholes. We don't have to think Shia's art is good to respect that he's attempting something very moral. And even people with a dark sense of humor (me) should respect when that humor makes others feel truly sad and afraid.

And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.” -- George Orwell, “1984” I should not be posting this.
