Mark Zuckerberg says you can't just separate intelligence from consciousness and upload a mind to the cloud, because there's so much more that makes up a person
I will add, since this is getting a lot of views than I expected, that I mean normal relative to the average tech bro who reads Fahrenheit 451 and says “my company could create an algorithm to burn books faster than this”
For the Analytic Marxists out there, check out this great work of …analytic Marxism from the early 70s, every single point it makes is painstakingly proven to be true and shows that Marxism is a rigorous academic study of the world as it is and could be
@t1nyb0dy
yeah it was a really weird time in my life, I rarely used to talk about it, but now that Alex Jones is a complete joke I feel better about it
@ChadNotChud
There’s way too many people who believe in some way that each individual has some sort of essence that they can’t change, it’s a genuinely reactionary metaphysical view that holds real discussion back
I know I talk about it all the time but this book is so insanely important to my philosophy now that it has become a necessary part of how I conceive of almost everything, it was finding a key that opened a million doors I never knew existed
I cannot lie, AO fundamentally changed my trajectory politically, philosophically, and professionally with what I wish to pursue and how I view things. I’d be locked into mechanical dogmatic Marxism if I’d not read this when I did tbh.
@theosey
Protestantism plus far-right belief in property rights over women results in a ritualized fetish of sexual domination and hierarchy through women (you’ll never see these people treat women as individual consciousnesses ever)
HOW TO GET INVOLVED IN SIMMERS FOR PALESTINE:
- simply share the donation link on your social media
- host your own charity fundraiser on tiltify
- help amplify other people's charity fundraisers
(do whatever you're comfortable with/capable of!)
I remember when Democrats wanted to target the issues directly causing school shootings, they were told they were politicizing a tragedy, but the right is totally fine with racializing an unrelated decades-old infrastructure issue/tragedy bc it fits their narrative

Lower the voting age to 16, if you can drive a 2 ton vehicle around at 70 miles an hour you can handle driving a fraction of a fraction of the country

So what actually happened was that he and whoever does his finance had that stock picked out to sell once it reached a certain price, that price was achieved when they came out with the vaccine news

@ChadNotChud
We learned in my American political development class that that is exactly the kind of mindset the Reagan republicans wanted, they want to force that either we cut non military spending or the entire ship goes down
@the1janitor
I mean the kids who would watch these now were like 7-9 the last time there was a big anti-SJW wave on YouTube so we should probably check on young teens make sure they don’t fall down the pipeline like many did 6-8 years ago
As a degree holder in philosophy, I can now officially say that Deleuze is the only person that ever did philosophy, everyone else was merely doing an attempt

Elaine: “Can you believe it, he wants me to join him on his visit to President Lincoln, now I can only get out of this if I become a widow who has to pretend to grieve or I become the girl who broke up with THE war hero”
Kramer: “I accidentally sent a telegram to Jefferson Davis”
At this point my theory is the religious far-right is just coming up with random and unnecessary grooming conspiracies so that we never get to the discourse where we talk about the large amount of grooming going on in religious institutions

Tbf she epitomizes the perfect woman for right wingers as she call herself the last human because she’s the only one with “pure blood” and isn’t a “mutant”
@DragonPaganLamb
You can’t just cancel something with the thinking that “Southern = Racist” black people invented at least 50% of popular southern culture, and mostly for the better
I guess I’ll promote my music on this one so if you want to you can check out my music on Spotify with this link here or most other links are pinned on my profile
@Baileymoon15
She does realism it’s what an average American thinks good art is and it’s exactly part of why the Office is Capitalist propaganda, there is no creativity only reproduction of what there already is
I’ve been saying for years that the craft of satire articles is an art that few like the Onion and Hard Times News have perfected, the difficulty though is only shown when you see how bad right wingers are at it
Utilitarians will be like “what about *situation that will never happen* would you violate *basic principles that keep society from utter chaos* then???
We on the left are supposed to be critiquing forms of oppression and just because some people have a cutesy left-wing Jesus version of Christianity does not mean that the oppression of religion magically disappears

@punishedmother
We also have to keep in mind families regularly pressure young victims to keep these things secrets already (to maintain reputation etc…), the amount of threats that laws victims receive from their own family will only increase because of the death penalty being involved
@ChadNotChud
it mostly goes back to reconstruction, its only libertarian to the federal government because they want the power to oppress people at the state level without having any oversight
we should more often talk about fascism as something people choose because it feels good, a pleasure—even joy—in “power over”: present already in liberal culture, with its carceral & market rationality infecting much of life, but openly embraced by fascism. because it feels good

@domsbrain1
He takes a religious pilgrimage in 1963/4 to Mecca and comes back with an expanded view of Islam believing that anyone of any race could work together if they proved to truly desire equality and act accordingly
I get why people think academic works should be more accessible, but like any field, there is going to be a level where it gets complex and you have to have some background in it to understand; accessibility shouldn’t mean that the hardest part of a field needs to always be easy
@beeflethals
As someone who is doing a Churchill class as a requirement rn, yeah Churchill is bad no matter what but his life and views are so well documented, from both him and his opponents, that we should at least be accurate in explaining why he is bad
Wow, this is

imitating a Nazi, while at a concert in … Berlin. This is just unhinged Jew hatred and Holocaust distortion. The man is vile beyond words.
