@GW@newsie.social I am very skeptical of the ability of humans operating under capitalism to do right by their fellow human beings. There are the fat cats who had a great idea, but then there are the sheep who in their way volunteer to be sheered. AI will only aggravate the inequities, arguably pushing human civilization to the brink. I predict a breakdown under Capitolism at some point. What emerges is unknown at this point if some of us manage to survive it. 🤔

What Gould Wrote About Intelligence
https://hackscience.education/2019/11/29/what-gould-wrote-about-intelligence/
@garyackerman Sorry for the negativity in advance. I wonder what Gould would say about the propensity of some modern humans to put much of their efforts into undermining their fellow human beings to benefit themselves? Rhetorical: Is this one of the prices of having such intelligence the temptations become too much or is this just how human beings ended up? Then we have some not so smart people who will believe whatever fantasy they are fed as long as self benefit is perceived? 🤔
@Sheril @GreenFire Yep. Science, facts and data are not about popularity.
#Juneteenth #USAPolitics If the GOP ever takes total control of the USFedGovt, just think as part of anti-woke GOP policies actively pushed in a variety of States, this Federal Holiday would likely be removed and the event would be forbidden by law to be discussed in school. Go back to sleep they’ll whisper in your ear or better yet bash your head against a rock. We need to keep you stupid. 🤔 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juneteenth

@Free_Press I’d like to wish bad karma on the #GOP but unfortunately a lot of innocent people will pay for their horrible laws before that karma comes home to roost. 🤬

Happy Juneteenth, a milestone in USA history where we actually took a step towards the ideals we profess. 🥰 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juneteenth
@samlitzinger At one point rural guns were not the same level of threat as urban guns, ie, a. mIllion people living in close proximity to one another.
When I was growing up in the 60s, suburbs of DC (rural Md) we had guns, and hunted with them, no big deal, but you could not carry a gun as a matter of routine just because. The issues are: guns achieve worship status, fist fights became gun fights, and daily mass shootings. We have a problem and we must consider mental health in the equation. 🤔

@AlliFlowers #CorruptGOP How many more Deplorables would it have taken in Congress to pass this fine onto Schiff because he did his job? Add some more and it might actually will mean the end of the USA as a Democratic Republic as they actively drive any opposition out. 😬
