The fight against misinfo is probably the biggest fight we have as all other fights depend on people understanding their own oppression and enough about how the world works so that they can effectively change it.
So whenever I see new ludicrous AI shit like this, I can only feel that the struggle for liberation is going to get so much fucking harder.
Where do we go from here, when people think hallucinated videos that can be made to say anything have even the slightest bearing on reality?
The machosphere hates it.
So it must be good!
I have a blog post ready. This one is about the intersection of brain chemistry and politics.
It's here: https://terikanefield.com/your-brain-on-ideology/
When the Guardian, the Telegraph, and Communications Professor Jennifer Mercieca recommended The Ideological Brain: The Radical Science of Flexible Thinking by Leor Zmigrod, I figured I should get a copy and read it.
So I did.
Here's my 2 picture summary of the book ⤵️

Listening to "Railway" again and noticed the line "we're staring at the ticket that says one trip."
It made me think of the bit in #Levanter where #BangChan, #Seungmin and #Han are in the elevator, Seungmin is holding the ticket "to new world," and the other two are looking at it.
So I had to go back to "Levanter" MV to check it out again. It is a one-way ticket. (Okay not exactly the same as one-trip but close enough.)
Is the "Railway" bit intended to be a subtle call-back to the "Levanter" elevator scene?
Contrasting trudging up the stairs on his own, versus taking the elevator (even if it's a shitty and dangerous elevator) with other members of the skz blue team.
Chan does like to put subtle references and hints into his work, and doesn't like to explain them. I guess sometimes the references are deliberate?? And other times it's just coincidence.

You've gotta understand: what Sen. Van Hollen did wasn't just about Garcia.
Garcia is the most egregious example we have of an evil regime; they admitted it was a mistake to deport him, but they aren't fixing it.
So it is the first place we fight.
Sen Van Hollen was there to help Garcia, yes, but the bigger picture: he was there to help democracy.
Are you going to do nothing but heckle, saying he can't do it by himself?
Or are you going to do your part and inflict a papercut? 8/
To be honest people would use Linux way more if it was installed by default on many devices. That's really it.
So the education is best served for those who have any interest in computers or gaming in the first place.
