@Plinz, last night I dreamed of watching #dalle2 create "a woman with a corrupted positive attitude about life" and found myself amazed at the accuracy in the woman's expression. Had a good chuckle about this when I woke up.

"it seems incredible that the Greek philosophers should have scanned so deeply into right and wrong and yet never noticed the immorality of slavery. Perhaps 3000 years from now it will seem equally incredible that we do not notice the immorality of our own oppression of animals.”
