#behaviour — Public Fediverse posts

Well, I disagree with the #Pope. I don't think #humanity is all that magnificent - quite the reverse, in fact - & I don't think it takes AI to 'normalise' #war. War has been pretty #normal human #behaviour throughout the course of #history, ever since the #Neolithic. All we've done is develop evermore successful, & lethal, #technological means of killing one another.

We might manage to eliminate engagement-centric social media platforms but it will be difficult to eliminate engagement-focused creators employing bait-clicks and tempting hooks.
Our incessant cravings for exciting things all the time is the source of all problems.

Better studies at the end of the century, looking at wolves in their natural habitats and not stressed by close confinement in zoo cages, revealed the truth: not only is the dominant female at least as important as the male, but the correct word for that dominant pair isn't "alpha", it's "parents"."
