Which one is more likely? There’s your answer.

Perhaps that’s the part they think is not useful?

Sure they are, but in an evolutionary sense not in a scientific sense. Countless theologians have said countless things and most have gone in to the dustbin of history. But the things that resonated or were useful have remained. Religion is

Agreed. Like WoT, desperately in need of a fan edit to do what his editors wouldn't.

That kind of forward thinking is unfortunately rare.

This is unfair. In an uncaring universe, humans have done quite well. The world was never “fixed” for us to break, and it never will be. The fact most of us live in civil societies of any kind is a miracle or the first order. I get frustrat

Yes, it was slower. And that slower speed gave more time for people to reflect, to calm down, to see if their moral passions had longevity. I think social media has perfect “outrage” because it can be so immediate. There’s no time for coole

I haven’t thought about it like this before. Thank you.

This is one of the primary reasons I stay off of social media. There is not forgetting, no opportunity to learn and grow and change and develop.

Right? Might as well try. The only other option is to go quietly into that good night.

Or the ban against lead additives. Or against child labour. Or any one of hundreds of massive benefits that government fiat has brought us.

Agree. It only takes a few lines. But how long does it take to learn what those lines are?

That view will show you all the media it recognized in a folder view. If you have any files that it does not recognize, it will not show them. You’re out of luck off you have something unusual (like a downloaded Rugby Union game). It. Will.

I, for one, love living in a world where this is a pressing concern. And may it become more so!

I switched to Jellyfin because Plex refuses to just show me the files in my directory. Why can’t you just let me have a directory view? Makes my blood boil just topping it out.

In my experience, you learn how to use a regular keyboard. Then you learn to use an ergonomic keyboard. Then you finally also need to learn how to switch back and forth. Three separate skill sets. But all very learnable.

“Old, yet immature”. Perfect description.

Sure. But we’ll need some sort of centralized market or exchange on which to discover these artists and send them funds. Oh wait….

Maybe that’s the solution. Is there some level of “living” things that has all the same qualities of a cow, but that we would feel comfortable raising and slaughtering in inhumane conditions? If not, what makes eating cultivated tissue bet

I agree with everything except your last sentence. Much CAN be done to ensure those biases do not manifest in the results of their work. More generally, this is the power of our institutions.

I'm a huge fan of "The Righteous Mind" and think it is almost horrifically relevant for our times. Recommended to all.

I love this. Interacting with other humans online isn't evil, our current social media has made it evil. But it can be fixed and I think what you're outlining would be a great start. I'd add that a "no marketing/alg

It's on Audible. I'll give it a listen. Thanks!

Sorry, I agree my grudge comment came off hard. No offence I hope?

I think this is exactly what should and will happen to social media. We, as a culture, did very well without social media for millenia. The internet was fine without it too.

This is a very interesting point. As someone who wants to start an organization with a very strong mission statement, it brings a sense of caution. Is it the mission statement itself which is dangerous? Or is it possible to come up with a &

I'm not on any side in this particular argument, but there are thousands of things we do/eat/experience every day which hurt us and we have no idea.
