Careful what you wish for.

​Would you wish to live in a place where only merit and hard work matter? You get what you deserve.

​It sounds like a just world, but it is not. It is the law of the jungle.

One animal kills another based purely on merit: strength, appetite, and effort.

​The wild is a pure meritocracy.

What makes it justified in nature and unjust in human society? The answer lies not in the merit, but in who wrote the rules.

@Askwhyisit If atheists could be moral, then yes. If they can't, then no.

[Reframes by Aditya @AdityaReframes]

Can religion exist without morality?

No would mean morality is superior to religion, and that morality can exist on its own.

Yes to it means there could be a religion without morality, an uncomfortable position on its own.

The answer to your question lies in the question above.

@DrKarimWafa When something is repeated many times, generations after generations, it begins appearing natural, and we become blind to its alternatives. Ownership is one such thing.

Atomization boosts the consumption side. Family sustains the production side of capitalism.

Family ensures an uninterrupted daily supply of workers, and socialises the next generation to accept their end of the bargain without question.

Also, at the center of capitalism is private property and inheritance. Family facilitates both.

These are exactly the things being dismantled by corporations, for enormous financial incentive.

- Attention is not simply receding. It's being extracted.
- Information diet, algorithmically manipulated.
- Ability to do hard things alone is being crowded out by frictionless doomscrolling, by entities that benefit from it.

The difference matters.

A person fighting distraction is one type of problem.

But, a person fighting a trillion-dollar attention economy is a different ballgame entirely.

@victoriazmei Yes, that's the way.

But the recent ban on AI models for non-US citizens shows how challenging this will be.

International realpolitik may push for weaponization of AI over democratization.

[Reframes by Aditya @AdityaReframes]

Only if AI is available universally, equally, and freely. Pricing and politics will matter more than agents.

[Victoria Mei @victoriazmei]

AI agents can never replace smart people. They will only help them to be smarter.

@majamediaco Water water everywhere, not a drop to drink.

@truthstreamnews Any story we tell ourselves without true perception is just deception. And self deception isn't a sound war strategy.

@jenzhuscott For how long?

[Reframes by Aditya @AdityaReframes]

@appadappajappa Nope. ​

Society makes it difficult for men.

​But downright impossible for women.

@hellomhnd @nikitabier @X It's consistently buggy since then. No improvement.

[Reframes by Aditya @AdityaReframes]

@indiemitul @Support @X Same.

@fadednailpaint Because, hate blinds.

@bluewmist Government should stop freebies. They make people lazy.

[Reframes by Aditya @AdityaReframes]

We're racing to make AI conscious while we don't understand what consciousness exactly is.
