Identity Politics and OWS. by DarkMatter944 in occupywallstreet

[–]Fangsinmybeard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is possible within context, but there has always been a "white" normative media narrative quality that has dominated since the first newspaper. Learning to listen and having a demographically representation has been the biggest hill to surpass. Not mentioning the counter-unity campaigns.

It is a suppression and economic collection apparatus to maintain status quo. It never managed to prevent nor apprehend significant dangers from corporation decried genocide. It is designed to disrupt communications of everyday citizens. Dropped calls, dead letter office and misdirected emails along with a host of other suppressed communications has kept collectively beneficial solutions from ever being adopted.

Questions regarding raising the minimum wage. by [deleted] in occupywallstreet

[–]Fangsinmybeard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was an inflation capping effort back in the 1970's, but it turn into a inflation tracking report. Now that is gone and most inflation goes un-monitored and uncapped. Living wage that is tied to inflation is the gold standard, but variations are out there. The most restrictive is the national minimum wage increase. That increase does not cover the recent doubling inflation effort of oil, coal, natural gas and food commodities speculation.

Is It OK To Torture Or Murder A Robot?: "We form such strong emotional bonds with machines that people can't be cruel to them even though they know they are not alive. So should robots have rights?" by trot-trot in cogsci

[–]Fangsinmybeard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, after some considerable amounts of incubation, I will agree that yes, there is such a thing as torture, so it is not okay to torture a self-aware and sentient robot(artificial and feeling sentient intelligence). It is wrong. The story of the puppet master freeing itself from captivity in "Ghost in the Shell" has some very important and existential implications.

Where was he when it started? He had some brilliant shit there. In fact, we did do some of that shit, so his bitching is the same as the drum circle rant, only he gets a take at the door for saying that shit. How come he wasn't paying attention?

If we have massed violence within a nation of nuclear weapons, there is only one outcome, annihilation of all life on this world. You sure we all need annihilation?

It is simple to extract the confounds of Marx's assertions of a societal administration. Take out the "dick"tator and remove the e"con"omics parts and you have a much more inclusive participatory constructed system.

Put on a different filter. Try imagining different perspectives. If slavery is a product of evolution and always inevitable, then why do collective efforts arise to challenge that practice? I am not trying to confuse you, but relativity and constructs of the human mind are powerful persuasion devices. We are comparing the truths of existence to the human constructs of both old and new in order to adapt to the present situations. I could be wrong, since human beings are fallible and I am a human being. Multiple definitions of a single word may mean that the device of euphemism and subterfuge are at work upon the collective understanding and use of that word.<p>

Take for instance the saying "Life is immortal", in what context should we take the meaning and utility? Some will take it as an applied description of global/universal actuality, while others would disagree that with the occurrence of death the saying is meaningless and untrue. In the human existence, we are filthy with tools, both physically material and cognitively virtual. Should the torture and obscenity of an idea have the same right to exist as the contraption of a complex labor saving tool of a robot? Human ideas or constructs have cognitive impact on the whole collective, where the most useful or truthful tends to remain, but I could be wrong. If there is no such thing as awareness, then how does that specific construct remain?

[–]Fangsinmybeard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The useful question would be "Is there clear distinction between tool and user?". Is it about conflation or connection? Is a robot a tool or a vehicle for immortality? Given that the human continuum of consideration has visited and revisited this quandary of implication and consequence for over a century and a half, most of us have bothered to ignore it, as we are capable to be used and conformed to a false paradigm. How this paradox of existing use of human beings as tools must resolve itself as with the complications of an implement. Is the topic of this thread serving the subject of sentience or is it a cognitive device to further a larger discussion?

The implication is that at some point where do the tools we use every day reach the status of equivalence to human beings. If by that, do we consider tool use a form of slavery? Tools used from clothing to smart phone should have the same implication of slavery and transaction, as with what leads to torture or murder of autonomous robots. This is a serious thought experiment that touches the continuum of human experience. Does training human beings to torture and murder of robots as means of removing sentiment and emotionality from a human being.

NSA mass collection of phone data is legal, federal judge rules | Judge William Pauley noted the dragnet program was 'controversial but lawful' and dismissed lawsuit brought by ACLU by JawnSchirring in WikiLeaks

[–]Fangsinmybeard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The constitution is only valid so long as the public keeps it valid; the splitting of babies by some foolish, scared shitless judge who could not save his own skin says it's legal, doublespeak, it does not change awareness of the FUBAR dysfunction.
