These synthetic artifacts will come to be regarded as psychological asbestos.

Please consider labelling it, and giving provenance data. And protecting public sanity by putting it behind a clickwall.

We'd start with a group of people centered around agreement on "credible, pragmatic definition of the common good"

I'm in.

The legitimately world changing life improving work I do somehow always happens to be unpaid. Funny how that works :)

"None of this work really matters in the end"

I look forward to this not being true

'take' as in 'hot take' intended meaning : 'I disagree with your assessment and conclusions'

Democracy in the workplace descends into a popularity contest, unless there are reliable systems in place to keep things reasonable.

Don't ask me how I know until I'v finished processing it in therapy in a couple years.

This would be funny if it weren't real and truly shameful. Dark days in Canada.

From the article:

Lt. General Ion Mihai Pacepa stated that operation "SIG" ("Zionist Governments"), devised in 1972, intended to turn the whole Islamic world against Israel and the United States. KGB Chairman Yuri Andropov allegedly explained to Pacepa that

    a billion adversaries could inflict far greater damage on America than could a few millions. We needed to instill a Nazi-style hatred for the Jews throughout the Islamic world, and to turn this weapon of the emotions into a terrorist bloodbath against Israel and its main supporter, the United States[12]

There are many religious texts that instruct followers in the administration of justice to include beheading.

Are you calling their religion wrong? That may be punishable by beheading.

I started following an HN repost bot on Mastodon this morning.

What's missing is comments from AP being ingested/posted to HN, the upvote/downvote federation story, and the moderation story.

Has @dang commented on this question in the past? Has anyone shown a potential HN source patch?

Where is the HN source code right now? Free and Open?

Granting student children rights would be a disaster for career administrators and bureaucrats, undermining the entire institution and all of its conceits.

If you want to see how well it works, look at the Sudbury Valley School model. (It works extremely well.)

Thus proving your point to be correct?

"Yes, it is."

AFAIK It's each of those things, each unfortunately named the same.

The professionals working for state-sponsored 'troll farms' are working right now (here!) to make things less reasonable. You're seeing the results of their professional work. Read more about the scale and targets of their operations from your nation's intelligence service reports. Here's a start, from Canada's CSIS "WHO SAID WHAT? The Security Challenges of Modern Disinformation" https://publications.gc.ca/collections/collection_2018/scrs-...

As for what we can do Citizens having the capability to freely and privately debate and govern amongst themselves without interference seems like a good start. Free and Open privacy and encryption technology development and advocacy seems important and immediately actionable on an individual and community level.

Checking back on this again, the linked source gateway is still down from where I'm sitting.

Using a more generic/available gateway for this link might make more sense.

Apparently not, though? Down, not available.
