@masek Please never compare fascist and/or irresponsible actions to #neurodivergent people or, as it often happens, too, with mental illness.
This damages seriously the situation of these people in society! And is often #ableism.

Name what it is: fascism, greed, corruption, power lust. A president with more and more control/thought deficits (let him forget his wars). But he is not the only one, the rest of his fascists are even worse! It's a cult, not an illness, not diversity.

@diemkay Especially about the fascist cults of the techbros' #TESCREAL, @timnitGebru has not only coined the term and written a paper (with a colleague), but she has also written a book now: Deep Unlearning. I further recommend @emilymbender with a new book The AI Con (and a podcast). Both books are also helping to resist.

@alineblankertz

Seems nothing was learnt (or the realisation dawns so slowly that lots if damage is done first) from what grew in academia and then expanded into common delusion and The Holocaust when the elite began funding scientific investigations into eugenics.

#TIL what #TESCREAL means. I'm impressed by the explanatory power of conceiving of this cluster of #ideologies as an #interconnected #aggregate which then get used to justify #harm

I feel like a lightbulb went on and that I understand the current state we're all in a bit better now.

Highly recommend starting with the @wikipedia article, which covers the #concept and some of the #criticism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TESCREAL

Thanks go to #Bhante #Sujato (https://sujato.me/) for making me aware of the term.

it's safe to say that "the much smaller market of #transhumanist funeral rites" was not a sentence i ever expected to see in my life

i feel like i owe the #EpsteinFiles a heavy debt for exposing me to these kinds of literary experiences.

Wow. Mike Levin has finally come out as a full #transhumanist: https://noemamag.com/ai-could-be-a-bridge-toward-diverse-intelligence #TESCREAL

I'm not sure "most of us think this way about the world we want for our kids"... at least I don't. Not at all. I find this toxic optimist "vision" utterly naive & disgusting. /1

Take your wins where you can get them, I guess:

Thank you @adamconover for having me & @timnitGebru on your show. We had so much fun!

Favorite moment, maybe: Timnit & I were riffing and asking each other questions and Adam says, "I'm the host!"
