@sanders.senate.gov : "The irony is that the proper criticism of communism is that the SovietUnion was an authoritarian society." "And then you've got the most authoritarian president in the history of this country." Video by @meidastouch.com #BlueWaveIn90Days #RemoveTheMotherF

That's where the "easier and far less time consuming" comes into play..

Wouldn't it be easier & far less time consuming to just report when he actually tells the truth?

Hannah Arendt gave this a name "the objective enemy." Guilt attaches to what you are, not what you've done, which means denial becomes a symptom and a legal defence becomes further evidence.

The purest statement is Carl Schmitt, crown jurist of the Third Reich, basically whoever invokes humanity wants to cheat. Universalist language is always a weapon, never a sincere claim. Miller restates this almost clause for clause, swapping humanity for civil liberties.

He fell asleep in a meeting with Turkish President Erdogan, referred to Iran as the "Islamic Republic of Japan", TikTok as "Tic Tac", President Zelensky as "President Putin" & once again demanded the U.S. be given control of Greenland. He's much less dangerous while sleeping than when he's awake. 💤

But then you're entering a cheating grey zone. If you ask the AI for the answer, and then write it in your own words, you have to understand what the AI is saying, so you're starting to learn. Still not as good as infering the answer yourself, but better than copying and not understanding at all.

I must be pretty stupid too then, because I don't see how these answers are failures.. The other day I saw a video of chatgpt answering that you should walk because good for your health etc.. gemini and claude did not fall into the trap though, so what's so stupid about that?

There's a predictable approach to denial that we're already seeing, which I call the Four Pillars of Disordered Doubt, which allows actors to constantly question evidence that don't fit their preferred narratives.

If you don't at least acknowledge the issue, I am going to have to conclude that you post stuff that you want to be true, rather than actually verified to be true.

Although the scale of this is still to be assessed, this is the inevitable outcome of the monetization of the algorithm. Rage-bait becomes a personal revenue model. Nothing about this should be a surprise.

We should also probably avoid basing our politics on information systems that reward outrage and where the truth has zero value.

Unfortunately their inability to understand the signals and communicate them to their audiences means understanding will be replaced by the agendas of whoever is talking about the shooting.

It's not a probing attack.: its purpose is to make European countries keep their defense systems for themselves instead of sending them to Ukraine, where they are far more detrimental to Russia's war effort than having them sitting useless at home.. m.youtube.com/watch?v=kAqH...

We’ve seen this play out repeatedly across Europe. Each time, mainstream parties hoped to undercut the far right by echoing its language. Each time, the effect was to legitimise and empower the very forces they wanted to contain.

The problem with figures like RFK Jr. isn’t just that they spread bad information. It’s that they sustain disordered counterpublics, spaces where falsehoods are reinforced through imitation of legitimate democratic processes.

I’m not talking about censoring speech or deciding what people can say. My focus is on building the civic capacity for people to verify evidence, deliberate openly, and hold power accountable. That way, everyone has the tools to challenge disinformation, no gatekeepers needed.

It is quite fun to watch Elon fans defend Trump when Elon was for Trump, then attacking Trump when Elon was against Trump, and now back to defending Trump I guess now that Elon made fresh donations to Trump.. They must be getting dizzy of all this turning in the wind..

It's a cynical, but apparently the realpolitik: Europe helping Ukraine but not enough to defeat Russia, and China helping Russia but not enough to defeat Ukraine, serves the same goal: keep Russia fighting and so utterly destroy itself..
