I think one of the undercurrents of our fractured political reality is that basically everyone has come to realize that the people who rule the world do not possess any particularly impressive level of intelligence or capability

Even VP Gerald Ford got that can’t blame the computer but rather how WE build and use them. [with alt text]

Photo of book page:
... our airline and hotel reservations, our professional societies, our family relationships, all are being handled by computers right now. Unless these computers, both governmental and private, are specifically programmed to erase unwanted history, these details from our past can at any time be reassembled to confront us . . . We must program the programmers while there is still some personal liberty left.”
The Committee has found that the concern for privacy is a bipartisan issue and knows no political boundaries. President Ford, as Vice-President, chaired a Domestic Council Committee on the Right of Privacy which was established by President Nixon in February 1974. In a recent address on the subject, he stated :
“In dealing with troublesome privacy problems, let us not, however, scapegoat the computer itself as a Frankenstein's monster. But let us be aware of the implications posed to freedom and privacy emerging from the ways we use computers to collect and disseminate personal information. A concerned involvement by all who use computers is the only way to produce standards and policies that will do the job. It is up to us to assure that information is not fed into the computer unless it is relevant.
“Even if it is relevant, there is still a need for discretion. A determination must be made if the social harm done from some data outweighs its usefulness. The decisionmaking process is activated by demands of people on the government and business for instant credit and instant services. Computer technology has made privacy an issue of urgent national significance. It is not the technology that concerns me but its abuse. I am also confident that technology capable of designing such intricate systems can also design measures to assure security.”

Not reading Matthew's head, just their thread, and the anthropomorphism is strong! Here are some verbs they use that computer programs *don't* do: - refuse - recognize - believe Technically these too, but I'll give him a pass on colloquial/figurative use: - [make] determinations - decide - assert

I know you're not allowed to say this during the current debate, but the reason the left dominates academics, art, comedy, and music is that the right has stupid, discredited ideas, they're not funny, and dull resentment does not make for good art. No grand conspiracy required.

I *strongly* suspect that cops commit more crimes — again, pick a crime, any crime — at a far higher rate than the general public. I mean, a population of ~600,000 cops commits at least 1500 murders each year, or 250 murders per 100,000 cops vs. 5.9 per 100,000 for the overall US population.
