We are #outsourcing #morality at this point, we are outsourcing #combat operations, we are outsourcing moving children, we are training other individuals, we are outsourcing #police operations. These are very morally poignant jobs that we are just giving to people 'saying hey you've had 2 weeks of training; come on in'.

On the need for certain metadata in moral discussions. If you're going to contend that there's a difference in demographics, then it's a reasonable request to know what it is you plan to do with such information if it's true. If you're argument is mainly about what will happen in the future because of certain changes in the law, then it's reasonable to expect you to say if that change is bad in and of itself or if you're only concerned with a possible slippery slope. In both cases, if we don't know your wider opinions around such issues, then it's very difficult to have any sort of productive debate.
"A.community of cruelty" is what the #GQP and its #cult of #TrumpVirus and hate has become.... late of "Christianity".
As discussed by The Politics Girl and Pastor John Pavlovitz, on the day after Christmas.
Mostly about memories of growing up within the church, not as dogma, but as immersion in the words and teachings of Christ, from which the name of the religion is derived. And becoming estranged, not from the teachings, but from the "organized" aspects over time, and the trending away from the concepts like compassion and generosity into the use of "generic" allusions to God and religion, as messaging tools for mega-churches and a once-political party merging with "evangelicals" who embrace division and hate.
Anyway, it's nearly an hour, but just the first few minutes and the comments will give a sense... stay for the show if it engages.

‘The battle for justice in Palestine is not merely a political struggle. It’s an elemental moral battle. It’s the fight for the most basic human rights of the people who have suffered these injustices for far too long. It’s the fight for the right to exist in peace and security, free from the ceaseless specter of violence and dispossession.’

Algorithms are incapable of comprehending the value of human #life, and so should never be empowered to decide who lives and who dies. Indeed, the United Nations Secretary General #AntónioGuterres agrees that “machines with the power and discretion to take lives without human involvement are politically unacceptable, morally repugnant and should be prohibited by international law.”
Mankind would be well advised if its technology did not overtake its ethics.

A #conversation with an unhinged #Bing made me rethink what gives humans #moral value.
Source: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/19/special-series/chatgpt-and-morality.html
We’ve spent the months since unhinged Bing’s debut debating how the arrival of generative A.I. will transform the future, but perhaps we should first reflect on what these systems — and our reaction to them — say about us, now.

Jordan Peterson's thoughts on ADHD. If we live in a society that is not normal or healthy, should we use drugs to make children adept to it, or should we change schools to allow for more playful exploration, creativity and physicality?

Having the picture of a woman with absolute 0 moral integrity on the poster is so freaking typical.
In #Sweden, like almost every other country on earth. There are a different set of moral codes for conservatives and progressives.
Long time ago, when Mona Sahlin, the prominent member of Swedish Social Democratic party who was on her way to become the first female PM of the country, became the target of the most disgusting dirty campaign in sweden's modern history. She had used government supplied credit card to but diapers and tablerone chocolate bars without declaring them as personal expenses.
The media was vicious, "corruption", "lack of moral grounds", "typical socialist who think our tax money is her own" and much worse.
She resigned and almost disappeared from Swedish politics, leaving the empty seat to the neo liberal team inside the social democrats to take over and "save the face" of the party from that scandal.
Ebba Busch on the other hand, is one of the most corrupt politicians in Sweden these days. Both inside her party and in private, she has shown no respect for law and order, from using Swedish secret service as private Uber for her drunk friends to cheating and old man suffering from dementia and to sell his house for a price way bellow market value, something she viciously defended and went to counter for it.
On Tuesday, the house dispute between KD leader Ebba Busch and an 81-year-old man will be taken up in Uppsala District Court. The dispute concerns the sale of a lake plot outside Uppsala. A few days after an agreement was signed this summer, the 81-year-old man regretted it and wanted to cancel the purchase. Now he and Ebba Busch meet in an oral preparation in Uppsala District Court. SVT Uppsala is on site and reports from the district court.

But she didn't lose her position, instead she got a minister post with the backing of her new friends, the swedish neo Nazi Swedish Democrats.
Her party (just like SD) are pushing to change penal codes of the country to punish "criminals" severely, even suggestions such as deporting family members of known criminals, removing their Swedish citizenship, placing them in prisons outside Sweden are all among those harder stances they want to implement.
But, none of those will cover crimes committed by almost every member of the SD leadership, from tax evasion, to libel, physical attacks of their opponents and even in one case cutting the head of their "enemies".
Seeing her face representing Sweden all over the world makes me sick. An imbecile with lack of basic education is minister of industry of one of the most advanced industrial nations on earth!
This 21st century Sweden!
