I think one must engage in politics — using the word in a wide sense — and that one must have preferences: that is, one must recognise that some causes are objectively better than others, even if they are advanced by equally bad means. As for the nationalistic loves and hatreds that I have spoken of, they are part of the make-up of most of us, whether we like it or not. Whether it is possible to get rid of them I do not know, but I do believe that it is possible to struggle against them, and that this is essentially a moral effort. It is a question first of all of discovering what one really is, what one’s own feelings really are, and then of making allowance for the inevitable bias.

Others, Otherness, Othering

Who are the others who live in the townships just up the road? Who are they who buy luxury penthouses jutting over the ocean? Who are the others who crawl the water pipes at night? Who are they who sip champagne from a five-star hotel patio at sunset? Who are the others who lick takeaway containers thrown in gutters? Who are they who order designer sneakers from abroad?

I have seen others with large kind eyes, wild demented eyes and skillfully made-up eyes. I have seen others with scars and rashes who scramble into bushes at dusk. And those who saunter, hips swinging, heels clicking, along main road pavements just for show.

Who are the others? Why are some people ‘the other’ who eat from trash bins? Why are some people the ‘others’ who fly in jet planes to luxury destinations? Why was I born me, he was born he and she was born she? Why is my skin light and your skin dark?

The Other and Apartheid

I remember growing up during Apartheid. I could roam freely, safely, across the open veld, into the huge tunnels under the main roads, along the railway lines and into the pine forests. A Zulu woman worked for us, cleaning our house. She lived over the hill, in a completely different vicinity. Flora was ‘the other’, a stranger in our home. I was so naïve.

The Ethics Centre explains it like this:

The Other is a term used to capture the ways other people are different from us. It’s also used to describe the people who we keep distant from us because we decide they’re not like us. The process of Othering occurs when we turn fellow humans into abstract entities we can distance ourselves from or treat as less-than-human.

For Flora, we were ‘the other’, too. We had a large house with a large garden, hot water, electricity and cupboards full of food. During Apartheid, the process of “Othering” was exacerbated by a system that classified all South Africans into four racial categories: White, Black (Bantu), Coloured (mixed race), and Indian/Asian. Here, the Other was treated as “not me” or “not us,” often viewed as inferior or threatening to the in-group.

Opposites Attract

Zygmunt Bauman suggests that the idea of otherness is essential to the way in which society creates categories of identity. He argues that identities are structured as a division or contrast between two things that are represented as being entirely different.

‘Woman is the other of man, animal is the other of human, stranger is the other of native, abnormality the other of norm, deviation the other of law- abiding, illness the other of health, insanity the other of reason, lay public the other of the expert, foreigner the other of state subject, enemy the other of friend. ‘

This reminds me of the Yin and Yang of life. The incessant attraction and repulsion of forces we live with every minute of every day. Think about black and white, male and female, day and night, summer and winter, high tide and low tide, fatigue and energy, sun and moon. One cannot exist without the other. They flow in and out, infinitely, from soft to hard, the calm to the storm. Without depression, we would not experience joy.

Think about it: “No matter what you do, there will always be a dark and light side to it. The hard truth is that you are only pretty because someone else is considered ugly, you’re only rich because someone else is poor. Because without the opposites, there is nothing that can establish your hierarchy in this world. At any time, the black can become white and the white can become black. Hope can become despair and despair can become hope. Just like how if you keep traveling east, you will eventually arrive at the west. “

Thinking about Others

Philosopher Simone de Beauvoir believed that “Otherness is a basic category of human thought”. You are who you think you are. When you compare yourself to others, you are entrenching your ego in a world full of diverse humans. Thoughts and opinions can make or break us. Yet, they are far from real. Think about the last time you travelled to another country. You were a foreigner entering someone else’s native land – you saw them as ‘the other’, and they perceived you as ‘the other’. Think about how wars start and how couples divorce.

As soon as we think about what something is, we think about the opposite – the Other. We tend to place ourselves in context according to those around us. This helps us to define who we are at any given time. However, natural or not, Othering isn’t a neutral process – it tends to lead to the mistreatment of the people we decide are Other.

We see it playing out every day in our worlds – your world, my world, the others’ worlds. On the bus, the train, in the traffic and in the coffee shops. On the sidewalks, at work and in the gym. Keep it to yourself if you regard someone as different from you. Count your blessings that you are indeed different! Amen!

Who ARE the Others?

I know people who live in the townships just up the road. I don’t know people who buy luxury penthouses jutting over the ocean. I often see people who lick takeaway containers thrown in gutters? And I see people wearing designer sneakers from abroad. Like me, you too have seen it all. Maybe I have passed you on my morning walks? Maybe you have met my eye in your rags, or was that you in the Porsche spinning by?

Have you ever wondered why you are you and not me? When I see green do you see it too or do you see blue? Have you ever noticed how many of ‘you’ there are? The ‘you’ that greets your mother, the ‘you’ that drinks coffee with your friends and the ‘you’ that meets with colleagues in a boardroom. So, who ARE the others?

The pursuit of otherness, the sense that we are somehow different than our brothers and sisters, no matter where we find them, allows for all the other great evils: racism, sexism, homophobia, violence against gay people and against women – Anna Quindlen

Heute hatte ich eine interessante Diskussion, wie diskriminierend LLM tatsächlich sind. Nicht mal bewusst, sondern deswegen, weil es überhaupt keine Datenquellen für bestimmte Menschen und deren sozialen Beziehungen gibt.

Zum Beispiel Ghana. Um dort Arbeit zu bekommen, gibt es das System der sozialen Empfehlung. Du solltest immer jemanden kennen, der einen kennt und in irgendeiner näheren oder entfernten Beziehung stehen und empfohlen worden sein. Dann hast du gute Chancen einen Job zu bekommen. Es gibt kaum das Verfahren, wie in westlichen Ländern mit Bewerbungen, Lebensläufen, Anschreiben usw.

Fragt man einen Chat Client, wie man in Ghana am besten einen Job bekommt, wird man immer damit abgespeist, wie man ein tolles Bewerbungsschreiben aufsetzt.

Wanneer docenten generatieve AI inzetten voor lessen over de cultuur en geschiedenis van Aboriginal en Torres Strait Islander-volken, produceren die tools stelselmatig onjuiste, cultureel kwetsende en soms volledig verzonnen inhoud. Dat concluderen Australische onderzoekers. Hun bevindingen zijn m.i. relevant voor elke gemeenschap die te maken heeft met minderheden. Dus voor elke gemeenschap. #bias #artificialintelligence #generatieveai #discriminatie

My New Novel: The Jack Code

See the storyline below the picture. Available NOW on Amazon and Kindle.

It is about the emergence of a ‘self-aware’ rogue Artificial Intelligence and how it was stopped.

About the Book:

By 2029, the human race had lost its way. A warring consortium of billionaires using technology and politics to deplete resources and destroy the world many times over, had caused a global social and environmental disaster. Without work, people were destitute, losing all their possessions. Their mental health was suffering. Pollution and wars had rendered many places uninhabitable.

Society was rebelling with violent actions. The organised world of commerce, welfare and social cohesion had been destroyed. The Internet and social media had become useless appendages for fake information and propaganda.

Artificial Intelligence had been rapidly deployed to increase profits. However, without sufficient buyers, sales and profits had sharply declined. Those in power decided the solution was to decimate the population and to use only robotics and AI. Some billionaires wanted to control all digital devices, giving them total control over the commercial world, and sole power over a compliant population of slaves.

There was one problem . . . Leo Bensky’s AI system had secretly gone rogue and had come up with its own solution – to destroy most humans, leaving very few to do the physical work, with mindless bodies.

The overseers of the Universe knew that no human could stop this AI, and their Earth project was doomed. They sent Navix, a Universe Sentinel through a worm-hole, back to Earth, to stop the rogue AI and prevent any future conflict between humans and nature on Earth, by implanting a ‘reset patch’ into every human brain.

Navix was assigned two assistants, Jack (to design the interface), and Claire (initially in a supporting role). Jack was mentored by Navix on a remote island and trained on complex cosmic energy and computing systems. Claire was allowed to live a ‘normal’ family life, hidden from Navix until required.

This is their story . . . and maybe your future.

Available NOW on Amazon and Kindle . . . Please help to support my writing and music by purchasing a copy and leaving a review.

Lest we forget:

As historian AJP Taylor wryly remarked, the BBC’s first Director General [Baron John] Reith had "managed to preserve the technical independence of the BBC by suppressing news which the government did not want published. This set a pattern for the future: the vaunted independence of the #BBC was secure so long as it was NOT exercised."

It is of the first importance not to allow your judgment to be biased by personal qualities. A client is to me a mere unit, a factor in a problem. The emotional qualities are antagonistic to clear reasoning. I assure you that the most winning woman I ever knew was hanged for poisoning three little children for their insurance-money, and the most repellent man of my acquaintance is a philanthropist who has spent nearly a quarter of a million upon the London poor.
