Misogyny 101

The Internal Logic of Misogyny 
Sexism, or the belief that men are superior to women, is morally bad. Misogyny, or the aggression towards women who upset that worldview, is also bad. But the problem, says Cornell philosophy professor Kate Manne, is that misogyny is logical, and even to be expected, when your starting point is predicated on male dominance. Manne illustrates how this plays out, and why misogyny itself is so hard to stop. (The Brian Lehrer Show)

we the people

IMAGE w/STORY
WE -- Internet users and consumers -- can demand new, better design patterns. The Internet of Things can adopt an ethos akin to the early Internet: decentralized, open source and harmonized with privacy.
READ WHY

There are already sobering examples. Consider My Friend Cayla, the Internet-enabled toy that the German government labeled an "illegal espionage apparatus." Cayla is a seemingly innocuous, Barbie-like doll. But Cayla records conversations, hawks products to impressionable youngsters, and is vulnerable to hackers.

COMMENTER to the CNN story:
Misguided reaction. The problem is, if that misinformation says what people want to hear, many don't care. They'll pass it on anyway. That's not the fault of FB, or any foreign elements threatening us. Propaganda can only work if there is no dissenting opinion allowed. We don't have that problem.
Our problem is a mixture of bi go try 
(That is, being intolerant of others opinions,) prejudice, and tribalism causing many people to be more than willing to accept and pass on misinformation if it advances their preconceived notions and/or agenda. Couple that with apathy from most everyone else and you have your root problem. What has to be done is for people to expose misinformation wherever they see it and not pass it on, even if the misinformation seems to agree with their position. If your position is so strong, you shouldn't need misinformation to sell it.

why do I like this?

being

{not spooky}


Our ancestors left their trace
in our blood, bones and DNA.
Essence is our true identity;
Being is born
in the octaves of creation.
You develop knowledge.
Being attracts
experiences you need.
When you awaken
through a succession of events,
you have the capacity of genuine doing.
With new knowledge of Being,
change is possible.
What a world we have imagined,
What illusions we create.

So remain humble.

(from Sleeps with Knives, c 2012)

Is it a pulp, or is it a wood?

Story Time w/an Alchemists: The boy who cried Wolf (RACISM)

The visionaries?

I don't know about you but I don't really put that much time in envisioning any future - what I see for me, or for you. I keep peaceful thoughts as best I can.
But here's the thing: there are people putting ideas into your head. They are (mostly) movie people. They are NOT visionaries. Not even close.

Keep an eye on them. Don't buy their future. Try and not believe this crap. BOOM
So does Blade Runner 2049 harbor some latent macrophilia?
