    it still feels a bit like people just wanted an excuse to scream slurs

    Edit: since people don’t seem to get it, angela collier published a video on this literally today

      Fr. I’m just as worried about AI and automation as anyone, but it’s amazing how fast people were to come up with a slur for robots. I don’t think it’s a good impulse

        Its absolutely not a good impulse in the broader sense for humanity. Yet this might be one of the only forms of tribalism I’m willing to entertain, in the short term.

            Clans always gave me the vibe like they needed to be blood related to one another. Is that how you interpret the word?

              In traditional Australia, everyone was blood related to each other. I mean, everyone’s still blood related, but now there’s a lot more people who can’t tell you who their great^10 grandparents were.

              So here in Australia, the difference between a clan and a tribe isn’t blood. It’s democracy. Tribes have Chiefs. Clans have Elders. The Elders are in charge, but everyone has a voice.

              Athens didn’t invent Democracy 3000 years ago. Aboriginal clans beat them.

        This is the fucking dumbest thing I’ve read all year.

        And I’ve read a lot of quotes from Trump.

        Your thing your said here… It’s worse than all the Trump quotes. I’ll leave that one to marinate.
