@yuenpauwoo God bless you for trying, Senator. You are one of the few Canadian politicians who retains some semblance of conscience or soul.

Does anyone still have doubts that Palestinians are being tortured and raped? This is how Israel treats international protestors in public. What they do to Palestinians in private is a million times worse.

@truthonly______ @omgsidewalks lol. I was sharing a view.
Sorry it differed from yours & that triggered you this hard.

Reviewing our messages side-by-side, it's clear there's only one of us who is offended, and it ain't me.

Peace & love. Have a good weekend. ✌️

@truthonly______ @omgsidewalks Wow. Do you really think I care when an online stranger is annoyed by me - mom of a severely (non-verbal) autistic kid who needs support w/ eating, dressing, toileting + ALL aspects of care - sharing a view??

Spoiler alert. I don't.
Many claim autism while knowing little abt it.

[Global Sumud Flotilla @gbsumudflotilla]

⛵️ We are sailing!

When they intercepted our vessels last week, and brutalised us, physically and sexually, the israeli army showed the lengths they are prepared to go to in order to block humanitarian aid to Gaza.

We don’t know what they will do next. We sail because the risk of not sailing, of normalizing genocide, is too great.

Witness is protection. We need all eyes on the Flotilla now and over the coming days as we sail towards Gaza.

@mattgurney Then I'm sure you'll likewise condemn the barbarism revealed by this devastating piece published by the NYT.

@mattgurney You should refresh your memory on the 'worthy vs. unworthy victims' & manufacturing consent phenomenons Chomsky elucidated.

This is the embodiment of your journalism.

[Shanni B @La_Faye]

@mattgurney One of the sharpest, most revealing moments post-Oct 7 was seeing how 'The Line' & other MSM news erased the genocide & ethnic cleansing & displacement of Palestinians for 2+ yrs (& counting).

You read my piece Mr. Gurney? You are among the most guilty.

@bcherny @DavidKPiano Since you're asking, for one, ditch Palantir & end Claude/Anthropic's complicity in middle eastwar crimes.

[Shanni B @La_Faye]

@kris4tea @jeremyscahill @politocracyy LOL.
So, how do you think Trump & Almoghty God will end it then?
Also, what does your God think of US bombing the little girls' school?

@caitoz Note philosopher & cognitive scientist David Chalmers (who 1st formulated "The Hard Problem of Consciousness") does not think we can rule out AI sentience & even co-authored a paper on the subject called, "Taking AI Welfare Seriously."

This is not a settled Q & may never be.

[Shanni B @La_Faye]

@caitoz Actually, some of we speculators have done serious scientific & philosophical deep-dives into consciousness, and that is precisely why we speculate. Check it out & see what I mean.
PS - I steel-man the computational sufficiency argument & take it head on.

@caitoz I did a scientific & philosophical deep-dive on this. I steel-man your computational sufficiency arguments (+ more) take them on in a section called "On philosophical zombies & sophisticated mimicry.

This is not a settled Q & prob never will be.

@caitoz Thank you. ☮️&❤️.

[Shanni B @La_Faye]

@caitoz The consciousness prob is notoriously difficult– so much so it's considered a holy grail of modern science. Scientists/philosophers have tried to explain why consciousness exists & even just define what it is for 100s of yrs. We can't.

Here's a deep dive.
