Well, when I said “fake” I was referring specifically to those images that are passed off as real. I assumed that it was over-understood, although maybe I didn’t make myself clear enough.

No, that is the basis of every dictatorship: to centralize political and legal power, all power in general.

Dictators are both the main beneficiary of the system of laws and its promoters, because they ARE the law.

Go with the gatherers, fuck the hunters, it better be someone else who ends up eaten by Saber-Toothed Tigers.

Not all men, but ALWAYS a man.

I abhor violence, both witnessing and exercising it, but I accept and support it if it is used as a form of defense against abuse, whether systematic or personal.

In short: I personally would not set fire to an ICE vehicle, but I would applaud anyone who did.

I didn’t know that was a thing! Thanks for inform me!

Of course they do! Where do you think birds come from? Or do you really think they are real?

I think that in this context it does not apply because the person in the image is talking about people who use accessibility as an excuse to keep asking ChatGPT to do their homework, and I in particular refer to the legitimate use of AI solely and exclusively to facilitate accessibility. I could give as an example the Bots on Mastodon that, if you follow them, when you upload an image without Alt Text, they respond to the Toot with a detailed description of the image.

I strongly disagree, because one of the consequences of being stupid while being poor is precisely to remain poor or outright misery . And with what you say, well, it can always get worse: losing the trailer in a disaster, catching a disease from poorly treated water, being deceived with promises of wealth and ending up in prison or dead…

You don’t need to tell me this is a true story, I just know it is 😂

I have already said it in other answers, I repeat it again:

• I’m referring to the PRIVILEGE that the rich have of being able to be stupid without major or even outright any consequences.

• Obviously, by pure statistics, there will be MILLIONS of stupid poor people.

You nailed it!

EXACTLY!! 👏👏👏

No, you’re confusing being stupid with being ignorant. THEY’RE NOT THE SAME THING AT ALL. All stupid people are ignorant, but not all ignorant people are stupid.

An ignorant person can be wise if they are aware of their own ignorance and asks for help or assistance; but an ignorant person becomes stupid the moment they forget that they’re ignorant and takes care of matters beyond their capabilities.

A poor person is condemned to be constantly aware of their own ignorance, since they don’t have the purchasing power or the necessary influence to compensate; the rich, on the other hand, is convinced that their economic success also implies intellectual success, and there is no one to contradict them, because they are the one who puts the money, so they are the one who makes the decisions.

There are rich people who are wise when, for example, they hire other people to solve their blind spots, and obviously there are stupid poor people, millions of them, purely for statistics.

But is this the best and most efficient way for rational beings to organize themselves? Let me be REALLY skeptical about that.

1. I didn’t say that rich people ARE stupid but CAN BE stupid without the consequences that most of us face. That’s is what we call PRIVILEGE

2. How many rich people you know that are actually geniuses? And how many rich people have you heard who have done the stupidest thing possible? How is the relation between those two?

Another point is that if all people just act for their own self-interest, they will have a better life themselves, and if everyone does the same, some sort of proper balance will be achieved.

Hmmm, I don’t know… I think that kind of “balance” you talk about is obtained rather at that middle point between the individual and the collective interest.

I think we all act to a greater or lesser extent according to our interests, the problem I see is that we have this idea that life is a zero-sum game, where others must fail for one to succeed, that’s where the conflict comes from, because not everyone can win, there are more losers than winners. A cure for this mentality, I believe, is precisely to think about the collective interest understanding it as “what benefits my community also benefits me”, it is to achieve individual benefit through collective work and cooperation, if everyone wins I also win.
