Sometimes I think my #solarpunk ideas are very original. Decentralized countries. 3D printers manufacturing anything. Biophotovaltic panels that grow in backyards to power homes. And then I read an article like this and I remember that a lot of other writers like me are reacting to our present dilemmas and troubles, and we probably grew up on the same kind of scifi stories so we most likely end up with the same solutions.

Everyone in AI is building the wrong thing for the same reason

Fix Your Hearts or Die

It's a invitation, not a threat. The path to liberation for lonely men is feminism.

"A man free of patriarchy is a man who has found not only every woman's humanity, but one who has at last discovered his own. The actual path to liberation for lonely men is feminism—because pursuing an identity based on dominating others is self-isolating." www.the-reframe.com/fix-your-hea...

Today I wrote about the Male Loneliness Epidemic, and the ways that a cult(ure) of abuse leads so many to seek paths of healing solely on behalf of abusers, and doing so not by building paths of universal liberation, but by repairing paths of domination.

AR Moxon, nailing it again…
“This is the discourse about what is commonly called the male loneliness epidemic, which is a problem, usually one that is presented as something for the rest of us to solve on behalf of lonely men. If we don't solve it, we're usually warned, we will be at fault for whatever these men do next, in retaliation for not having their problem solved.
There's apparently nothing the lonely men themselves can do, I've noticed. They've apparently tried everything already. It's up to us.”

"The reason young men are lonely—that is (to name the specific problem that is usually indicated whenever male loneliness is mentioned), the reason they are having trouble getting sex partners they want—is that, if you listen to the young men suffering in this way, they still believe that they are owed a female as a possession, and because of feminism," (continued in /4)

An important read for everyone; this misogynistic behaviour is ‘normalised’ by actions of authorities, such as the IOC testing womens hormones [not ‘female’ enough], of online persona such as Andrew Tate, or the repellent comments from POTUS [….

🔁 @SecondUniverse:

There are a lot of threads about this depressing article:

theguardian.com/commentisfree/

It supports the idea of a social media ban for under-16s.

I also don't want to see children exposed to offensive, dehumanizing "content", but I am wondering why a ban is the cure. The examples the writer cites are all examples of simply unacceptable speech. If the social media platforms had effective moderation, this would not be a problem. If every instance of misogyny and other hate speech was taken down, and abusers got reliably suspended and banned, the experience of girls and minorities on these platforms would be infinitely better. The people doing the hate might be pushed to reconsider their behavior.

Instead we will take away internet freedom from young people and force identity verification on everyone, undermine VPNs and so on. Why? Because that will be easier and cheaper for the tech giants.

Don't ban girls from social media. Ban the abusers.
