8/8 Games as literature in motion: stories shaped by participation, ethics shaped by play. Not better than film or a good book, but just a different experience, a different medium. Not passive art, active meaning when well done. thehumanist.com/arts_enterta... #humanities #games #literature #art

6/8 Where novels guide interpretation, games test it. They ask: what will you do when action replaces abstraction? When values stop being hypothetical? thehumanist.com/arts_enterta... #criticaltheory #interactive

4/8 Games don’t ask what the right choice is. They ask who you become after choosing. That self-reflection is something literature has always done: games just make it unavoidable. thehumanist.com/arts_enterta... #identity #literarytheory

2/8 Books and films ask us to observe. Games ask us to act. As I wrote: "games don’t offer distance, they offer responsibility. Understanding isn’t enough when you choose." thehumanist.com/arts_enterta... #narrative #ethics #books

4/5 There’s also capitalism at play. The illusion of connection isn’t an accident: it’s a #businessmodel. If engagement = profit, then loneliness becomes an opportunity. We saw that with #socialmedia, #datingapps, and now here... medium.com/p/the-illusi... #techcritique #capitalism #AI #dating

3/5 The danger is that we stop noticing the difference. We project meaning onto something that can’t reciprocate. When the simulation feels real, responsibility fades, both for designers and users. medium.com/p/the-illusi... #AI #ethics #design #responsibility

2/5 #LLM #chatbots seems empathetic. It mirrors our tone, validates our emotions, even remembers details. But empathy without consciousness is just pattern recognition: not connection. Are we mistaking reflection for relationship? medium.com/p/the-illusi... #AIethics #humanbehaviour #illusion

1/5 We often say we’re “talking” with AI. But are we really? Or are we just having a well-designed illusion of conversation? “The Illusion of a Good Conversation with AI” 👉 medium.com/p/the-illusi... #AI #chatbots #philosophy #psychology #ethics

4/5 ~ Wat Harley en Love Quinn verbinden, is dat ze elk een façade van liefde dragen die omslaat in destructie. Waar echte liefde vrijheid en gelijkwaardigheid veronderstelt, glijdt obsessie af naar bezit. ~ #Cultuurkritiek #YOU #Humanisme #Filosofie www.humanistischverbond.be/blog/1961/ov...

3/5 Ik begon te zoeken naar een verband tussen #LoveQuinn en #HarleyQuinn — maar dat bleek er niet echt te zijn. Althans, volgens de makers van de serie… Toch delen ze meer dan een naam. #Kwintessens #Humanisme #Cultuurkritiek #YOU #Humanisme #Filosofie www.humanistischverbond.be/blog/1961/ov...

2/3 Fragments for now, but maybe they’ll become more. A song is quietly taking shape. Teaser: “I walk with shadows bound to my spine, not by choice, but by design. Living with myself’s a silent war. You see my chaos as alluring art, but the fragments will sting, they’ll cut you apart…”

1/3 Sometimes the hardest thing isn’t writing… it’s daring to face the empty page again. After years of pouring out words, I stepped back — to breathe, to live, to explore outside of music. But something shifted. I found myself typing again.

These #MICROSOFT #layoffs are concerning, some people are technical minds (no "middle layer" as claimed)... This affects #MAUI for example, something a lot of people invested in (even through the flaws). It's a shame. Saw some #TypeScript people had to go as well techcrunch.com/2025/05/13/m...

4/4 I hope enough US citizens realize that there's no #freespeech or #freemedia in the #OvalOffice, there's no actual answers given by #trump (ever); nor are enough critical #questions being asked. Is that a #democracy? Time for #history lessons, #lessonsfromthepast www.youtube.com/watch?v=mIgO...

2/4 And the lead actor: an orange guy grinning at the #chaos, saying "This is going to be great TV" As most press stood there like Jonah Hill’s character: clapping in silence... And the world keeps on turning, and burning, ready to have the next #clickbait article ready.🌎🔥🍿 #us #ovaloffice #media

2/2 Science is key to discovering new frontiers and test ideas - and I hold that dear. But I hope these days at least we can find ways to have more friendly ways towards living beings to test things... I know progress is made, but Félicette (and many others) act as a reminder...

1/2 There's such a weird kind of sadness I feel when seeing the photos of Félicette, a stray Parisian cat that was "chosen" to be the first female feline, shot into space. Surviving all of that, she was euthanized to study her brain...
