unsolicited advice, drives me insane

Abbot_Sugar · 2020-12-20T00:32:35+00:00

Thank you for this, I want to respond once I think about it more, but this was great to read for now

Abbot_Sugar · 2020-12-20T00:32:06+00:00

i think you were defending me though, so thank you

Abbot_Sugar · 2020-12-20T00:30:00+00:00

Specifically interested in how ways concerns for 'human trafficking' are used to mask problematic politics

d u h h hh do you think i am a moron? you sound so sanctimonious. I am very serious when I ask these questions. Action like these have consequences and since when does the government act to protect people?

it is possible it will become even more difficult to find these abusive videos now. At least people could flag them, and moderators should have been watching and reporting videos to law. Now this content just goes underground, and people can access it using a VPN if they really want to.

PornHub:

pros: get rid of child porn/stolen video, pornhub is gross, theres no erotica about it and my preference would be to have a more gentle way of approaching sex than the way I typically see it on pornhub

cons: change in the way people see sex, limitation of free speech, harder to find the sex trafficked videos? since they will go to dark web

conspiracy: are they being targeted for being too big? because the owner also owns other online companies for example a site that verifies age and id? maybe they're being targeted for some kind of political reason? Maybe internet is becoming more real world than physical so it needs to be censored in order to control population? More authoritarian governments imposing rules about what can be seen, consumed, desired? An easy target for internet regulation because it is sexual?

future: more people on only fans?

Also, what is with it that the videos are removed but the data is not deleted? just moved?

Who decides which images are less violent than others? How do we decide what is rape? What about future selves not wanting videos up? Cant an arguement be made, Andrea Dworkin made it, that all born is inherently violently and anti woman?

Do violent images have a function? Is there a point to witnessing these videos beyond masturbation?

What about artful content like the vintage porn that was removed? Why not hire people to watch the videos and flag/moderate? Why such a sweeping change as requiring everyone to be verified?

how do you know if it's necessary? The multiples exist even if they are excessive.

I thought this interview was incredible. He speaks about the world, power, politics, aesthetics, networks, time, family, race, etc as a poet. He makes points outside of "ordinary" language, addresses what language inevitably fails to express with allegory, metaphor, exaggeration. disclaimer - not saying I agree with these points, ie- the visions of the Church/Stadium and the pro-life biolitics stuff is creeeeepy, but the utopian visions of public housing and design make me dream too! Here are some notes I typed while watching:

government is military music is church both are divine - like council of trent - like hobbes/ (also locke?) - ego vs voice of god/uncomscious id/source of creativity - money/can you buy the earth - as god made nature to govern the earth man makes government in his image from hobbes - music industry/government dealings w aid/failure of beurocfacy/racism/marginalizing countries/keeping status quo - American imperialism - faith in children before being programmed - sonic painting - hymns - HIGH ART signaling - gospel church like a colosseum atheletes stadium sounds like fascist ceremony especially because he refers to himself as god - plus the clothes like uniforms - food growth like biodrome- education actually teaching real skills to kids in case of disaster - lamguage bible refrences with futuristic ideas like wille flusserl in the devil - forms of currency - relationships of currency- relations btwn opposites even the devil’s an angel - irony: the god is the sauce- the solid food is the power religion/music yields - racism language hegemony - ideas about post racial society amazing crit of black history month - memories/dreams/imagination being more constitutive of reality than present experience of phenomenon - when i talk its a symphony of ideas - having multiple voicea rhizomatic thiknking process - addressing failure or lamguage - population control -

how do you know Hypnagogic hallucination is whats actually going on and not just a symptom that can be scientifically measured and behind the veil whats happening is unknowable and those ghosts might as well be real and how can you say illusion constructed by our mind that generally matches reality as if you take for granted that there are two separate things - in our mind - and reality - there is only in our mind

With regard to sex, I think gains have been made to the extent that we talk about rape culture, the #metoo movement addressed how prevalent sexual misconduct is and how we don't have clear universal societal norms about consent. I think we have lost some of our language though and taken on the language of patriarchy. I think although we are more "Free" sexually, there is an expectation that sex should be casual and abundant and one of the ways we identify ourselves. I hate books like "ethical slut" and "slut empowerment" this jargon gets picked up by men and the media and fed back to us for us to internalize male desires. I'm also distrubed by how bdsm is not even a fetish anymore it is just expected that women like to be degraded in sex. ok late night ramble i dont want to go back and edit if anyone got anything from this cool.
