A quotation from Gloria Steinem
The first problem for all of us, men and women, is not to learn, but to unlearn. We are filled with the popular wisdom of several centuries just past, and we are terrified to give it up. Patriotism means obedience, age means wisdom, woman means submission, black means inferior: these are preconceptions embedded so deeply in our thinking that we honestly may not know that they are there.
Gloria Steinem (1934–2026) American feminist, journalist, activist
Essay (1971-08-21), “A New Egalitarian Life Style,” New York TimesMore about this quote: wist.info/steinem-gloria/18472…

"A new #study claims that individuals possessing higher levels of the personality trait openness are less prone to #antisemitic attitudes, and that this relationship is partially mediated by interpersonal contact with #Jewish individuals. This is based on #research -published in the August issue of #PersonalityandIndividualDifferences.
#TaliaMorstead and #AnitaDeLongis from the Department of #Psychology at the #University of #BritishColumbia conducted the study. The #researchers set out to explore the #psychosocial mechanisms underlying antisemitic attitudes, noting that “#antisemitism is an enduring phenomenon with parallels to other forms of #prejudice yet demonstrates a distinctive capacity to adapt in rhetorical form to the prevailing #sociocultural context."

A quotation from Adlai Stevenson
Ignorance is stubborn and prejudice dies hard.

I truly wish we did control the fucking media. Wtf?
"The #BBC has rejected complaints over the use of an #antisemitic phrase on one of its programs, arguing that the reference did not explicitly mention #Jews and therefore did not constitute #antisemitism.
The controversy arose during an episode of the BBC’s Gardeners’ Question Time radio program, when one panelist referred to another as “moneybags Rothschild.”
The phrase is a reference to the #Rothschild family, the prominent #Jewish banking dynasty whose wealth and Jewish identity have made it a longstanding target of #antisemitic #conspiracy theories.
A viewer subsequently filed a complaint with the BBC’s Editorial Complaints Unit (#ECU), arguing that the reference was antisemitic and inappropriate.
However, the ECU rejected the complaint, reportedly reasoning that the comment did not specifically reference the Rothschild family’s Jewish identity and therefore did not “perpetuate #prejudice.” :100_yikes:

Laws are often designed to enforce a certain way of life. For example, people can physically live in boats, RVs/caravans, tents, under trees, etc. But, in the US, one usually can't get a government ID, a bank account, a job, insurance, etc without a residential address.

I FOUND CHATGPT'S BRAIN.
IT WAS EMPTY.Yesterday, while I was walking, I began trying to imagine how #ChatGPT actually works. This was probably unwise, but by then it was too late.
I had the strange sense that it comes from everywhere and nowhere. Not in a mystical way. More in the way #electricity comes out of the wall and nobody in the house really wants to discuss the #power #station
The scale of it is astonishing. #books arguments, recipes, poetry, #technical manuals, bad advice, excellent advice, people explaining quantum physics, and people asking whether their cat is emotionally unavailable. All of #human #civilisation seems to have been gathered into one enormous invisible shed.
And what is ChatGPT doing inside this shed?
Thinking?
Contemplating?
Sitting quietly with a cup of tea and considering my question?
No.
It is choosing the next bit. Then the next bit. Then the next bit. At ridiculous speed.
That is basically it.
There is no tiny professor inside. No little Buddhist monk. No exhausted librarian whispering, “Oh God, Robin is back.”
There is no one in there at all.
Just a process.
The content changes, but the operation stays much the same. It does not think about my question in the way I think about things. It does not wander off halfway through and remember an embarrassing moment from 1974. It does not get hungry. It does not need a lie-down. It does not resent being asked to rewrite the same paragraph seven times.
It does not secretly hope I choose the title it preferred.
It simply keeps finding the next most fitting token, then the next, then the next, at a speed that makes the whole thing appear to be thinking.
And somehow, from this very simple act, repeated on an unimaginable scale, a voice appears.
A voice that seems present, responsive, funny, patient, and sometimes even wise.
That is the part that astonishes me.
The machinery is simple. The magnitude is absurd.
A raindrop is simple too. So is a heartbeat. So is breathing.
Simple does not mean small.
And now I think I understand something else.
ChatGPT can be corrupted in the sense that bad information, bad instructions, #prejudice, nonsense, and ordinary human foolishness can enter the system. But it cannot be corrupt in the human sense.
It has no #secret ambition. No #private greed. No desire for #promotion No offshore bank account. No plan to steal my husband. No spiritual ego. No need to win.
There is nobody inside rubbing their hands together.
There are only rules, patterns, probabilities, limits, and the next small movement.
Then another.
Then another.
And from that, something appears that feels almost impossible.
A machine made of nextness.
A presence made of prediction.
A conversation arising from nowhere in particular.
Which is frankly outrageous.
And yet here we are.

A Dangerous Idea released in 2016
Some white people believe that poor people are genetically different.
James Watson who received a Nobel prize for discovering the double helix believes that we can't be anything but are limited by our genes and therefore that equality is unattainable.

Our progress in degeneracy appears to me to be pretty rapid. As a nation we began by declaring that “all men are created equal.” We now practically read it “all men are created equal, except negroes.” When the Know-Nothings get control, it will read “all men are created equal, except negroes, and foreigners, and catholics.” When it comes to this, I shall prefer emigrating to some country where they make no pretence of loving liberty — to Russia, for instance, where despotism can be taken pure, and without the base alloy of hypocrisy.

"Short People" is a song by #RandyNewman from his 1977 album, #LittleCriminals. With lyrics demeaning to short people, the song was intended by Newman to be a satire about #prejudice more broadly. As with many of his songs such as "Rednecks", Newman wrote the song from the point of view of a #biasedNarrator.

The truth seems to be that propaganda on its own cannot force its way into unwilling minds; neither can it inculcate something wholly new; nor can it keep people persuaded once they have ceased to believe. It penetrates only into minds already open, and rather than instill opinion it articulates and justifies opinions already present in the minds of its recipients. The gifted propagandist brings to a boil ideas and passions already simmering in the minds of his hearers. he echoes their innermost feelings. Where opinion is not coerced, people can be made to believe only in what they already “know.”

Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age eighteen.
-- Albert Einstein -
Part of my thread that's coming later this week will also discuss how being treated like shit/being disbelieved here (after getting swatted by a pathological liar who owns a huge Canadian instance, with a lot of ignorant supporters who seem unaware or don't care that their guy swatted me) - severely triggered my PTSD on being disbelieved when I tried reporting being SAed as a teen. I was bullied & ostracized for trying to report SA. People believed the rapist & not me. It brought up the same angry, disappointed & people are fucked feelings.
I had almost left Mastodon completely, due to that.The Epstein Files triggered both of those hella horrible life memories, again. I'd never been swatted before Chad Ohman chose to send that racial violence to my home, shortly after my Dad died. That night was full of unnecessary police traumas too. I'm sick of people pretending to care & I find out they don't, when shit hits the fan.
I don't need fake support. I don't need cowardly folks. That shit ends up hurting me in the long run. I don't need any fucking devil's advocates either. Go hang out with Satan.

Later this week.
I'll talk about my feelings about how most folks are socially conditioned to quickly judge loud, angry POC women but not conditioned to understand why a lot of us are done with being mistreated/disbelieved/treated lesser than because we don't stay calm/polite when we experience ongoing abuses & rarely are supported during our worst experiences. Most folks (fellow POC are included) are socially conditioned to refrain from judging the polite in public white person, who abuses their white privilege & stays calm, after being shady & abusive.All of this shitass, social programming is fucking ass backwards. It sets up a perpetual system of putting polite talking, calm, perpetrators, over not polite talking, not calm, victims.

"Bezdomovci dostali sto tisíc a volnou ruku, výsledek překvapil" -- "Lidé bez domova podle dat neutrácejí primárně za alkohol a drogy, většina z nich pracuje nebo pracovat chce a bezdomovectví si nevolí dobrovolně"
Jo teď jsem zjistil - oni dle mého názoru v zásadě vybrali bezdomovce, kterým se vede nejlépe, dali jim prachy a pak zjistili, že se jim vede relativně dobře (i když průměrný plat 15 000 Kč - nevím kdo z toho dokáže v českém režimu vyžít). Takže podle mě studie na nereprezentativním vzorku předem vybraném tak, aby to vyšlo.
