The other big issue with that word, is labelling #people as #trash. It's so much easier to throw trash into the #incinerator than a #humanbeing. The dehumanising effect can be subtle, too. Folks lose self-respect by wearing the label with pride. It's similar to caling oneself dumb. Do it long enough, and it will become reality. Hang all billionairs, sure. They bend laws, exploit people as much as they can, and brake laws left, right, and centre. Happy to negotiate lenienc, though. /2

„Digitalisierung, dieser Begriff charakterisiert Prozesse, durch die etwas mit uns geschieht, mit unseren Körpern, unserem Sein in der Welt. Wir wollen uns von den gegenwärtigen Phänomenen, die wir sehen, aber nur schwer begreifen, ein Bild machen.
Es geht um Technik, aber wir versuchen keine Technikerklärung. Mit welchen Veränderungen sind die Subjekte durch die Phänomene und Effekte der Digitalisierung konfrontiert?
All das findet nicht im luftleeren Raum statt, sondern in einer sich in ihren verheerenden Auswirkungen verschärfenden Weltsituation.Können wir darin eine Weise zu leben behaupten, jenseits von dem, was uns die Subjekte des weltumspannenden Kapitalismus mit ihren Lebens- und Beziehungsformen als alternativlos aufoktroyieren wollen?“

#Human beings can't be "illegal" There's no such thing as an illegal #humanbeing.
Human Beings can do illegal things but they can't be illegal themselves, that's a #racist term that you're promoting.
So when you like to think that you're not a racist person this is why you are regardless of what you think.
We are not our perceptions of what we think we are, we are the #realities of what we do and say, never forget that.Anonymous @AnonymousLyWise

I like tech. Driverless taxis, robots, the AI, etc. excite me.
However it dawned on me that using a human driven taxi and paying someone to clean the house helps other humans provide for their family. We cannot fight the population decline with taking away jobs.

I found this on the net years and years ago. I kept it and saved it to three or four different storage systems to make sure I always had it. I did so because it sums up my life approach and philosophy so succinctly.

A quotation from Hannah Arendt
In a courtroom there is no system on trial, no History or historical trend, no ism, anti-Semitism for instance, but a person, and if the defendant happens to be a functionary, he stands accused precisely because even a functionary is still a human being, and it is in this capacity that he stands trial.
Hannah Arendt (1906-1975) German-American philosopher, political theorist

Quote of the day, 5 July: St. Edith Stein
The angels are God’s firstborn. They live in the kingdom of God—not in a world of their own, subject to their dominion. The center of their being is in God, not in themselves. They live outside of themselves: in God, before whose face they stand, beholding Him, even as their own face is veiled before Him; and from God, when they carry out His commands. They are spirits—by their very substance, spirit from His Spirit, and free from all matter foreign to spirit. By their office, they are messengers.
The soul, too, is spirit from the Spirit of God. Yet its center of being is placed within a substance foreign to spirit—a spirit in captivity—and in a world formed from such substance. In its natural state, the human being has his center of gravity in himself. But because the soul is spirit, it can go out from itself and become like the angels.
Angels and human beings are free: neither the angel’s orientation toward God, nor the human being’s turning toward, away from, or turning aside from God, happens by necessity or compulsion.
Saint Edith Stein
Geistliche Texte II, no. 6: Angel and Human, Spirit and Soul
7 July 1935Note: This reflection was written in July 1935, shortly after Edith Stein made her temporary vows as Sister Teresa Benedicta of the Cross at the Carmel of Cologne in April 1935. She was working on her major philosophical work, Finite and Eternal Being, during this period, attempting to synthesize phenomenology with Catholic theology. The text shows her continued engagement with deep theological questions during her early years in religious life, before her transfer to the Netherlands in 1938 and her ultimate martyrdom at Auschwitz in 1942.
