Yes of course.
But by what method or algorithm does this DECENTRALIZED SOCIAL MEDIA system protect us from propagandists and censors?
What is a method in THAT?
Distributed tagging and voting? The grace of our benevolent moderators? Something else?
I mean, combatting propaganda and censorship is the #1 issue here.
How do we protect ourselves from propagandists and censors? Large, small, popular and individual.
I might add, “become comfortable with uncertainty”. Because nothing drowns you in a swamp of bullshit like an excessive need for certainty.
I find that the people who use terms like “right wing loser” are indistinguishable from the people who use terms like “left wing loser”.
That’s fair. But I actually admire the guy. And you people tend to witch-hunt like a bunch of Monty Python extras on crack. So you see where I’m coming from.
That’s the best way
our thoughts are given form by language and vocabulary
And our experiences, and our intelligence, too. Right?
Which makes the challenge one of navigating that mess.
No. Can you link me?
EDIT
ok, watched the video. Ya, that’s a pretty fascist salute there.
There is the theory that we feel emotions first and then we think only to justify the emotion.
This would imply that it isn’t the thinking that needs to be managed but the emotions.
This is mob insanity at work. There is no nazi.
He’s just waving at the audience for Christ’s sake.
I get censored here all the time.

You should just answer the questions.

One thing I think about is the incredible poverty of text.
When you look at a word you get a meaning. But that meaning, it comes mostly from your entire life’s experience, your memory, what you’ve been taught. That’s huge. And the word is very very small, comparatively.
So when you’re reading, 99% of the content is coming from you. So reading is basically you just talking to yourself. And social media is a million people talking to themselves.
And that’s pretty weird.
(Disregard that pm, wrong community)
The word of an authority that I respect would do it.
When both sides are full of professional liars, that won’t work.
We might have to settle for not knowing.
