I'm headed to Homer for the this weekend. Will anyone else from here be there? (the conference, specifically; I'll honk and wave at Homer Mastodon, generally, but will be busy and sleepy I think)

reply guying is when you don’t take the time to sit with a stranger’s ideas long enough to understand them and offer respectful counterpoints or ideas. Instead you assume they must be dangerously incorrect and you must correct them. Ironically in regard to this thread, reply guys are often older white men who haven’t examined their own cult indoctrinations. they aren’t used to being confronted about it since our entire society is built around not hurting their feelings https://zirk.us/@McPatrick/112451962450329227

I used to think ignorance drove injustice but now I think it’s denial — the human capacity to create and believe in stories collectively is our greatest blessing and deepest curse

@Ponygirl yeah, and what we think we do know

@seachanger@alaskan.social avatar

we tend to sideline actual cults and death cults from the mainstream of modern society but maybe they are its purest form. maybe cults aren’t abnormal for humans, but in fact are the norm. maybe there are precious few of us who aren’t wrapped up in one or more ourselves

“why can’t they see that cult leader is an abusive fraud!” uh karen why can’t you see capitalist & gendered white supremacy is keeping you married to an asshole etc etc

@Wen @paninid contempt is just learned from stories told to us and that we tell, the primary emotion is insecurity right

I was raised as a white girl by a single working mom in the US in the 1980-90s, which means I was indoctrinated into the cult of never fucking pretty/worthy enough because we have things to sell you that you cannot afford; the cult of your value is determined by white men; the cult of tv can replace community; the cult of whiteness doesn’t exist; the cult of your wild intricacies as a complex human being are less important than your appearance and future marriage and children

@seachanger@alaskan.social avatar

I mean it’s right there in the word culture right! we just never think cult behavior applies to our own selves! but what if that is legit what defines us — our ability to believe the mythology and stories all around us as objective truth/reality, and to do so unconsciously that we are always confused as to how others could be so “ignorant”

@McPatrick that’s neither what I said nor a respectful manner of replying, muting thanks

@niboe good questions I think most of us wrestle with right? forming community with people who have shared values is pretty important, sometimes easier said than done

@plantarum and it seems like the more threatened we feel (ie autonomic nervous system engaged) the harder it is to be flexible with our beliefs. which to me basically explain fascism — terrified people hardened around a fearful worldview

I feel like Joseph should be a little more concerned. Celebrities from Cardi B to Macklemore are publicly criticizing his policies with the latter putting out a wildly popular Hind's Hall with the lyrics "The blood is on your hands, Biden, we can see it all. And fuck no, I'm not votin' for you in the fall"

kinda fascinated by who all the influencers would be in the world if the algos had never happened to them. what would the world look like with all that energy applied to things in real life that aren’t them

The story about The Portal connecting Dublin and NYC is bringing me so much joy. If you're looking for some "humans being humans" absurd type of levity recommend following. https://www.businessinsider.com/livestream-portal-between-new-york-and-dublin-descends-into-chaos-2024-5

@CarrieinFbx good ruling, if trappers can’t hike away from high traffic areas and trails, they should throw the traps in the ocean and move on imo

just glanced at this #openai tag and imagining if we applied this level of innovation and resources to neighborhood scale organic food systems or healing generational trauma

the word technology means more than money and computers! it is not advancing technology to apply human ingenuity to harmful or meaningless inventions while denying catastrophic and unprecedented climate collapse

seachanger,
@seachanger@alaskan.social avatar

and I cannot emphasize this enough: we do not need machine learning to take meaningful action on climate. we need people to pull their heads out of their asses (careers) and apply their talents to creating different and better societies
