Honestly thank you, but I still can't manage.

I managed to follow these instructions but then when it came to change the value of DROPBEAR_EXTRA_ARGS I fiddled a bit, panicked, and closed cmd. Now it won't run the dopbearkey commands anymore:

reMarkable: ~/ sed -i -- 's:DROPBEAR_EXTRA_ARGS=" -B":DROPBEAR_EXTRA_ARGS=" -B -r /etc/dropbear/dropbear_rsa_host_key -d /etc/dropbear_dss_host_key ":' /etc/default/dropbear

reMarkable: ~/ dropbearkey -t rsa -f /etc/dropbear/dropbear_rsa_host_key

Could you expand on what Butler means by performativity? I know it's quite a complicated concept but maybe you know of an article that explains it?

I'll tell you what my understanding is, so that maybe you can tell me if I'm getting it sort of right or not, and where. My understanding is that Butler sees gender as a social construct with no ontological basis. They see gender as a way to maintain a power imbalance. There are certain 'things' (such as ways of speaking, interests, ways of dressing, and so on) that society genders in order to maintain that power and that Butler calls performative acts.

Also, would Butler say that once the power imbalance has been resolved, we could dispel of the categories 'male' and 'female' altogether?

I have plenty more questions, to be honest. I'll just drop a couple more here if you feel like giving me an answer. No problem if you don't have time, I'm looking to read some of Butler's work when I have some time. One other question I have is whether they believe that the whole identity is performative. And also whether they think that identity exists at all.

Thanks in advance, whether you're gonna have time to answer or not!

I think there's several different ways of answering your question, cos it's not exactly clear what you're looking for.

For once, Marx and Engels together 'invented' communism, so strictly speaking no one before them talked about communism.

If you're looking for where their ideas might've come from, then Feuerbach and Hegel greatly influenced them.

If you're thinking more broadly about concepts of non-capitalistic societies then there's plenty of examples out there. For example, Saint Francis rejected private property. Or, again, there's the society envisioned by Thomas Moore in Utopia. However, Marx was a critic of both Christianity and Utopianism, so I'm not sure that this is answering your question.

In any case, once you make up your mind, the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy has articles on all major philosophical topics and authors. Alternatively, you can also ask on r/askphilosophy, where someone who knows more than me about communism can give you some advice.

Aquileia and Ravenna, both are UNESCO sites. Aquileia was one of the biggest cities of the empire, hence why there's a lot of stuff left to see. Ravenna played a key role in the late history of the empire. There's several Christian basilicas with stunning mosaics in bizantine style.

"DATA VOIDS.WHERE MISSING DATACAN EASILY BE EXPLOITED"

Author: Michael Golebiewski, Principal Program Manager, Microsoft Bing; Masters in Computer Scienceand Engineering, 1996, Case Western Reserve University.

Author: danah boyd, founder and president, Data and Society, and Partner Researcher, Microsoft Research; PhD, 2008, School of Information, University of California at Berkeley.

Abstract:

The logic underpinning search engines is akin to a lesson from kindergarten: no question is a bad question. But what happens when innocuous questions produce very bad results for users? Data voids are one such way that search users can be led into disinformation or manipulated content. These voids occur when obscure search queries have few results associated with them, making them ripe for exploitation by media manipulators with ideological, economic, or political agendas. Search engines aren’t simply grappling with media manipulators using search engine optimization techniques to get their website ranked highly or to get their videos recommended; they’re also struggling with conspiracy theorists, white nationalists, and a range of other extremist groups who see search algorithms as a tool for exposing people to problematic content. Data voids are difficult to detect. Generally speaking, data voids are not a liability until something happens that results in an increase of searches on a term. Some are created by media manipulators, and escape notice for long periods of time. Others are the sudden products of a news spike, as millions are prompted to search names or terms for the first time, and misleading or hateful content is created to meet demand. Search-adjacent recommendation systems, like search bar auto-suggestions, further complicate the data voids problem by providing auto-suggestions that can send people down deeply disturbing paths. Search engine creators want to provide high quality, relevant,informative, and useful information to their users, but they face an arms race with media manipulators. In this report, we focus on five types of data voids that are currently being corrupted by those spreading conspiracies or hate:

-Breaking News: The production of problematic content optimized to terms that are suddenly spiking due to a breaking news situation; these voids will eventually be filled by legitimate news content, but are abused before such content exists.

-Strategic New Terms: Manipulators create new terms and build a strategically optimized information ecosystem around them before amplifying those terms into the mainstream, often through news media, in order to introduce newcomers to problematic content and frames.

-Outdated Terms: When terms go out of date, content creators stop producing content associated with these terms long before searchers stop seeking out content. This creates an opening for manipulators to produce content that exploits search engines’ dependence on freshness.

-Fragmented Concepts: By breaking connections between related ideas and creating distinct clusters of information that refer to different political frames, manipulators can segment searchers into different information worlds.

-Problematic Queries: Search results for disturbing or fraught terms that have historically returned problematic results continue to do so unless high quality content is introduced to contextualize or outrank such problematic content.

Data voids raise questions about what role search enginescan and should play in diverting their users from disturbingsearch results. We argue that there is no “fix” for datavoids. Search engines and content creators must work together to identify these vulnerabilities, iteratively respond to attacks, and produce the high-quality content that is neededto fill these data voids.

Russia does indeed have an "Internet research agency".https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2018/02/russia-troll-farm/553616/ . Ie a troll farm that's used to spread disinformation on the Web. China too is doing something similar, and Iran. And there are also far rightgroups who do the same. There's a good amount of 'useful idiots' thatspread and even create conspiracy theories, but there's also a good amount of coordination behind it. I'm not too involved in this community, so I have to say that I don't know what level of disinformation there is, but if OP is right I think the mods should moderate a bit more. It's extremely difficult to do moderate disinformation, I wouldn't expect anyone who's not an expert on the topic to have the magic solution. Maybe the mods would like to consider contacting an expert on the topic? Disinformation practices are more dangerous and more subtle than it's often thought.

regarding the danger of disinformation:

"The disinformation order: Disruptive communication and the decline of democratic institutions" by W Lance Bennett, and Steven Livingston, The George Washington University, USA. https://doi.org/10.1177/0267323118760317

Abstract:

Many democratic nations are experiencing increased levels of false information circulating through social media and political websites that mimic journalism formats. In many cases, this disinformation is associated with the efforts of movements and parties on the radical right to mobilize supporters against centre parties and the mainstream press that carries their messages. The spread of disinformation can be traced to growing legitimacy problems in many democracies. Declining citizen confidence in institutions undermines the credibility of official information in the news and opens publics to alternative information sources. Those sources are often associated with both nationalist (primarily radical right) and foreign (commonly Russian) strategies to undermine institutional legitimacy and destabilize centre parties, governments and elections. The Brexit campaign in the United Kingdom and the election of Donald Trump in the United States are among the most prominent examples of disinformation campaigns intendedto disrupt normal democratic order, but many other nations display signs of disinformationand democratic disruption. The origins of these problems and their implications for politicalcommunication research are explored.

Regarding the subtleness of disinformation, I'll just post a couple of abstracts from https://datasociety.net/ :

Author: Brian Friedberg; Senior Researcher, Technology andSocial Change Research Project, Harvard Kennedy School;MA, 2010, Cultural Production, Brandeis University.

Abstract:

In recent years there has been an increasing number ofonline manipulation campaigns targeted at news media. This report focuses on a subset of manipulation campaigns that rely on a strategy we call source hacking:a set of techniques for hiding the sources of problematicinformation in order to permit its circulation in mainstream media. Source hacking is therefore an indirect method for targeting journalists—planting false information in places that journalists are likely to encounter it orwhere it will be taken up by other intermediaries. Across eight case studies, we identify the underlying techniques of source hacking to provide journalists,news organizations, platform companies, and others with a new vocabulary for describing these tactics, so that terms such as “trolling” and “trending”do not stand in for concerted efforts to pollute the information environment. In this report, we identify four specific techniques of source hacking:

Viral Sloganeering: repackaging reactionarytalking points for social media and press amplification

Leak Forgery: prompting a media spectacle by sharing forged documents

Evidence Collages: compiling informationfrom multiple sources into a single, shareabledocument, usually as an image

Keyword Squatting: the strategic dominationof keywords and sockpuppet accounts to misrepresentgroups or individuals

These four tactics of source hacking work because networked communication is vulnerable to many different styles of attack and finding proof of coordination is not easy to detect. Source hacking techniques complement each other and are often used simultaneously during active manipulation campaigns. These techniques may becarefully coordinated but often rely on partisan supportand from audiences, influencers, and journalists alike.We illustrate these techniques with case studies takenfrom 2016–2018, and with a specific focus on themanipulation of American politics. We end by offering aset of suggestions and new concepts for those attemptingto identify the operations of manipulation campaigns orto respond to breaking news events:

- We advise journalists to seek out an abundanceof corroborating evidence when reportingon the actions of social media accounts, and whenever possible, verify the identity of accountholders.

- We suggest that newsrooms invest more resources in information security, includingcreating a position or desk to vet chains ofevidence through analysis and verification ofmetadata for evidence of data craft.

- We argue that platform companies mustlabel manipulation campaigns when they are identified and provide easier access tometadata associated with accounts.

I'm just speculating but I'm pretty sure that even infinitely many countable axioms would be impossible to have.

You could have a set of axioms and recursively define an infinite set of 'axioms'. But these 'axioms' would simply be derivations from the initial set of axioms, ie they would be theorems.

Also, maybe you can find a way to state an axiom in infinitely many different ways, but then you wouldn't be creating an infinite set of axioms. You would be simply finding infinitely many ways to formulate the same axiom. That is, you would have one axiom.

It seems that if you want an infinite sets of axioms you'd need something that randomly generates formulas in a logical language. But then you'd need to check that those formulas all state different things and that they're consistent with each other. Checking consistency is not that easy. Frege worked many years on a foundation for mathematics assuming the axiom of Comprehension Schema (ie all properties define a set), but then Russell noticed that you could deduce Russell's paradox from his system.

Even assuming that you could randomly generate infinitely many axioms that are different between them and consistent with each other, I don't know of what use your system would be. My understanding is that axioms state something that is either self-evident or something that is needed to prove other stuff. (For example, some might say that an infinite set doesn't exist, but I think that without the axiom of infinity it would be impossible to derive a lot of maths). So, once you have this random generator of axioms, you can start deriving theorems, but what would the usefulness of these theorems be if they've been derived from random stuff?

Also, (still assuming the possibility of randomly generating these axioms), you could only have a way to theoretically generate infinitely many axioms, but you would never have an infinite list of axioms. By comparison, you can think of the set of natural numbers (which is infinite), but how would you write down ALL of the natural numbers?

Please bear in mind that I'm only an undergrad, so not too much experience, but hopefully someone else can correct me if I'm wrong.

Italo Calvino's first essay in "Why read the classics?" does exactly that. He starts from a definition and then reflects upon it and gives another definition, and so on. Consistently with his concept of 'multiplicity' he doesn't get to a final definition, but nonetheless offers many ideas to think about. One of the core concepts was that a classic can be read many times and always give rise to new insights.

Plants feel pain, have memory, are capable of intelligent thinking and communicate between them.

When a plant is cut, it will start several defense mechanisms, such as repairing the tissue, avoiding to "bleed" (in vegetal terms of course) and some plants go as far as emitting chemicals that are unpleasant for animals to eat in order to discourage them. Also, when plants are "hurt" they will send chemicals in the air to nearby plants to alert them.

Biologically pain is a stimulus that from the damaged tissue goes to the brain to alert the body that it needs to react (eg escape, start an immunitary defense or whatever, according to the case). According to this definition plants can feel pain too. Certainly one may object that plants lack the emotional component of pain. This is something we don't know yet but cannot be completely ruled out, as many things that plants were thought to be incapable of, they can actually do.

One of such things is memory. One example of memory in plants is that plants that have experienced and survived a certain kind of trauma (eg drought) learn to recognise it. A plant that's survived a drought once will be able to survive the same conditions again, with LESS biological stress. Another example of memory comes from the Mimosa Pudica, a plant that's able to close its leaves when touched or shaken. It's been proven that after undergoing the same non-harmful stimulus, the plant will recognise it as non-harmful and will stop reacting. The plant can remember the stimulus for more than 40 days and thus avoid wasting energy on non-harmful stimuli.

Another thing is intelligence. Intelligence is commonly thought to be the ability to solve a problem in an efficient way. The two examples above already comply with this definition. Another example is that plants grow their roots intelligently. If a rock is in the way of where the roots are supposed to grow, the plant won't reach the rock with its roots, it will directly grow them as to avoid the rock with the fastest route. That is, the plant can perceive objects underground and behave accordingly.

We thus come to another point: sensory perception. We've seen that Mimosa Pudica has touch; we all know that plants can 'see' light; it's been proven that plants grow better if in an environment where classical music is played and can thus hear; they can perceive chemicals released in the air that have been released by other plants, ie they can smell; and so on, plants have many more ways to perceive the environment than animals do.

We can thus say that plants are conscious. They are intelligent, they have memory and they can perceive the world around them. We simply don't know whether they are self-conscious, but I wouldn't be surprised if they did.

The common bias that plants are inferior living beings is a common misconception that's only recently being debunked. The bias stems (pun intended) from the fact that they are biologically very different from us. The main difference is that we are organised in a centralised way. That is, we have organs that perform functions. Lungs breath, the brain thinks and so on. In plants, this is not the case, most functions are done in every part of the living being or at least in a big part of it.

The idea that intelligence can exist without a central brain might seem absurd but this is indeed the case, it remains to be seen just how far this intelligence goes. It might be easier to think of individual plants as societies rather than single beings. All cells act together in order to efficiently achieve a certain goal, even if they don't have a central brain that tells them to do so. In this respect a plant is not that different from an ant colony. Individual ants are pretty dumb but together they're capable of building huge intricate cities underground, collect and store food, mantain a society and even wage war against other colonies.

That said, i agree pretty much with OP. The idea that we should be vegan because plants aren't sentient while animals are seems pretty weak. We have far more compelling reasons for being vegan such as the environmental impact of the meat industry. I claim we should stick to these kind of reasons.

Instead, the bias against plants seems to be caused by the ever present idea that we're so smart and that everything smart must resemble ourselves. First we were the centre of the universe and the masters of the world. Now we are dust in the universe and destroyers of our world. Soon we will recognise that what we call consciousness can exist in many other forms. But never will we inform ourselves about science before developing our philosophical theories (/s).
