I was thinking about this movie while I finished reading capitalist realism by mark fisher. Mainly I was considering the nightmarish situation he probably faced when he got out, job prospects, education insufficiently, just the raw capitalist experience as a virtual alien.

Just ordered, very excited for this one. 👌

Covered a lot of this in my MA and now monograph.

AI is not designed to answer questions, it is designed to generate an answer. It’s going to take a lot of people a long time and a lot of wasted money to understand how different those two things are.

Science is so laden with bias that just bursts at the seams when you trace it back with Christianity and Platonism. Positioned next to TEK it becomes so clear where and why those biases arise.

This thread is 👌👌 and exactly what I wrote a book on, but how the technology of AI only arises because of Christian-Platonic asceticism and the idea of human inferiority. It’s a technology overflowing with bias and dangerous assumptions about humanity.

I missed half of Barney’s speech watching him.

I 100% laughed out loud at that. 😂

Agreed. There needs to be a resurgence of political discussion that recognizes that every Canadian political party is a right of centre party that doesn’t take decolonization seriously.

Best part of the night

Oh. It went back up to 8 as Polievre was speaking.

That felt like a nail in the coffin 😞

This is what has been scaring me this whole night. I don’t think CBC mentioned this once.

I’m guilty of this in my recent book. However, I made a point to describe exactly what I meant by it. In my case it was basically “Platonic-Cristian culture”. Over the course of a book saving those extra words paid off…

In my undergrad my fave prof taught one called Death, Desire, and Art in Continental Thought. We covered people like Nietzsche, Artaud, Rousseau, Kristeva…
That and the single courses dedicated to one thinker were best. We did Sartre, Nietzsche, Foucault, Kant.

Following because I would also love to access similar resources.
