A quotation from Terry Pratchett
People who would not believe a High Priest if he said the sky was blue, and was able to produce signed affidavits to this effect from his white-haired old mother and three Vestal virgins, would trust just about anything whispered darkly behind their hand by a complete stranger in a pub.
Terry Pratchett (1948-2015) English author
Discworld, Book 18, Maskerade (1995)More about this quote: wist.info/pratchett-terry/8413…

A quotation from Hannah Arendt
The trouble with Eichmann was precisely that so many were like him, and that the many were neither perverted nor sadistic, that they were, and still are, terribly and terrifyingly normal. From the viewpoint of our legal institutions and of our moral standards of judgment, this normality was much more terrifying than all the atrocities put together, for it implied — as had been said at Nuremberg over and over again by the defendants and their counsels — that this new type of criminal, who is in actual fact hostis generis humani [enemy of humanity], commits his crimes under circumstances that make it well-nigh impossible for him to know or to feel that he is doing wrong.
Hannah Arendt (1906-1975) German-American philosopher, political theorist
Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil, Epilogue (1963)More about this quote: wist.info/arendt-hannah/42625/

What hit me out of the blue is that "The Box with the Sound of its Own Making" is ultimately one of the most accurate portraits of a 𝗵𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴, particularly in their capacity to miss their mark — yet being able to convey the process of becoming themselves only in that exact fashion. One could argue that it is the only way of being known by another thinking being
Acousmatic design, if treated right, might offer a way out in the age of apathy

Just completed day 4 of this year's Advent of Code:
https://gist.github.com/and-kal/da2371872ffc3ca76d998ddc7001a204Actually a pretty good way to get familiar with a new programming language.
Though that's probably some super inefficient #Lua code and loopy as hell. But I think there's something nice about its #naïveté.#AdventOfCode #AdventOfCode2024 #proceduralprogramming #ifthen

A quotation from Rogers, Will:
«
Call me a “rube” and a “hick,” but I’d a lot rather be the man who bought the Brooklyn Bridge than the man who sold it.

RULE OF THUMB (OBSERVED):
if you make a computer game "these days" and you call it a Rogue-like, and, if you are under the age of 40-45 or so, then:
it is (almost certainly & nearly always) NOT A FUCKING Rogue-like!!!!!!
"Kids, get off my lawn."
I will not be taking questions. Please respect my family's wishes at this sensitive time. Thank you all for coming to my TED Talk today...

Following hot on the heels of last week’s discussion of naïveté in solarpunk, @arielkroon wants to address the idea of hope head-on. “Hope” is a word that gives people warm fuzzy feelings when they read it or use it, but she's not sure that it’s very well understood in this day and age. Because most people equate the concept of hope with that of naïve positivity and intentional ignorance of “reality”.

In today's blog post, @xtinadlr muses on solarpunk naivete and asks "dear solarpunks and everyone else who’d like to avoid a dystopian very near future, how do we neutralize the destructive effects of people like this? Especially when the “fight” is asymmetric, because we can’t resort to Machiavellianism, bullying, or steamrolling over norms in return?"

Finally, someone - in this case Matthew Iglesias, has taken on the #TechBro “technology optimists” who naively believe that we can ‘tech’, ‘build’, and ‘birth’ out way out of our current problem spaces. They’re wrong and it’s rubbish of course. Impulsive, immature naïveté by folks who SHOULD know better. This kind of insane, happy optimism in the face of overpopulation, climate change, a falling birthrate, war and polarization is just arrogant folly. They argue all technology is inherently good, uh-huh. Here’s Iglesia’s worthy takedown https://www.slowboring.com?utm_source=navbar&utm_medium=web&r=3icfk #technolgy #TechnologyOptimism #TechOptimism #Naivete #SiliconValley

The illusions of childhood are necessary experience: a child should not be denied a balloon just because an adult knows that sooner or later it will burst.

Ya, this doesn't seem to be a thing in my experience.
I've met and talked with tons of #Americans. I don't think I've ever heard one express #animosity to Canada. #Confusion, yes. Mistaken #assumptions, yes. #Cliches and #stereotypes, yes. All the #ignorant #naivete you ever heard: we live in #igloos, we just got #electricity last year, all pets must by law be named #Pierre.
And lots that know #nothing about #Canada, including where it is.
But no #hatred.
