Harassing Cops is Legal in USA ! 

invidious.jing.rocks/watch?v=G

"Scum sucking pigs" is legal to say.

"Worst of all humanity is you" is legal to say.

⭐ Fav part
" We have cops that will hide behind stop signs where they know people are going to do a 'California stop', look around and then just go. But they (the police) are not saving anybody's lives.

They're trying to find a way to steal your money or shake you down in your car to see if there is a reasons why they can arrest you. "

A system making it more expensive every year is suicidal.

Morally and physically expensive also at the same time.

(one sentence version below)

A system making it more morally and physically expensive every year is suicidal.

Video of Police as Education + Legal Lessons for Citizens 

Learning the law from real life videos. Recording the police and people defending our rights!

invidious.jing.rocks/watch?v=W

"Police Audit Explainer" (YouTube Channel)

By recording them and reviewing can we learn

- what rights we have?
- what to do and not to do?...
- what to say and not to say?...

Good stuff by this channel especially if you're in USA but also everywhere!

RECORD THOSE ! YOURSELF!

These videos work to learn the law and learn not to fall for tricks Police try... !

Also good for Journalists to do a Law / Authority Audit

1200 killed by police last year (probably more, not all were armed or guilty) 

Unnecessary harassment which you can see from this video.

And this is exactly why audits need to happen. It is the only way government employees seem to get educated. It's a shame.

Advice / Education for #Police and #Law Enforcement from Video comments 💬 

My best comment first:

⭐ 🤩 @stephaniekrywicki7230
💬 What do you think about requiring bonding insurance for cops?? That way an independent intity would investigate them??? Or would it make things worse??

⭐ @posingspy
💬 How does our society accept that this country’s law enforcement doesn’t know the law????

@bayoulafourche
💬 Years ago I dated a cop in San Diego while I was still in the navy. I was getting ready to retire and looking at career opportunities when he suggested I do a ride around with him and his partner. I lasted 4 hours and we never spoke again. The way they treated people really scared me. I had no idea cops acted like that.
2 years ago | [YT] | 291

@jackdreamvan1806
💬 I'm a lawyer. Saying "you still would have searched my car" is so far from an admission, it's not worth discussing. He's clearly saying to anyone watching that answering questions (however answered) would not have avoided the search because it was a foregone conclusion. Any reference in court thsat it was an admission would be easily eviscerated. But our channel host is right. Don't speak!

@omegaman9988
💬 Any time a cop accuses someone of having drugs, does a search, and finds nothing, it should be an immediate & easy lawsuit.

@readysetretire
💬 When a cop says he smells weed and there is no weed in the car, it should be viewed as a 4th Amendment violation.

@USMC6976
💬 The courts should never have allowed "i smell" as a reason to search without a warrant. It's probably the most used excuse to violate our rights.

@t-towntransparency8850
💬 ...the 6 cops we see in any given video just watching it all go down because even THEY are afraid to bruise a cops ego…
@douglashenrysr748
💬 Why do cops have "qualified immunity", but judges tell the average citizens "ignorance of the law is no excuse"???

@mikewilcox8197
💬 A “lawful order”, to most cops, is anything they say.
2 years ago | [YT] | 1,700

@farmer8102
💬 "put that cigarette out" isn't a lawful order either, when did police start thinking they could TELL you what you can and can't do when clearly no law has been violated? And there's no law for the "Lawful order " being given.

💬 NOT fuck the system how's about FIX THE SYSTEM

Because the system was designed by their ancestors thats why you find that being a police officer lawyer or judge is usually a family tradition! Look at history the biggest clan had the most warriors and they created the rules that led to the current system which they designed! we're in the infancy of the age of technology I hope 1 day equality will be real and not just something we are trying to accomplish. Less abled less educated and the poor who can't afford good health care or legal representation are suffering due to ill health and a unjust legal system ontop of this if you're poor your more likely to eat the poisen they place on the shelves for their "lessers" to consume which often leads to ill health the system is basically culling and abusing the most vulnerable. The smartest biggest clan won and decided to manipulate the masses to create a system that works for them its a disgrace but thanks to technology.
WE ARE ALL ANIMALS WITH DIFFERENT IDEOLOGY FORCED UPON US FROM BIRTH EVERY EXPERIENCE SHAPES PEOPLE.
RECORD EVERYTHING AND REMEMBER ANYONE CAN BE MADE TO SAY AND DO ANYTHING SO DONT JUDGE JUST ASK QUESTIONS. if we all just asked questions to figure out what led to certain situations then we as a society can implement change to prevent said situation occurring again. NOT fuck the system how's about FIX THE SYSTEM

Cop: "You disrespected me".
💬 Respect is always earned. You get the level of respect from MOST people that you earn. Your uniform was issued. Respect is NOT. Want it? Then earn it! Want hate, keep doing what you are doing.

⬇️ MY MAIN MESSAGE SUPPORTED BY THIS QUOTE : ⬇️

" I’ve seen many prominent computer scientists whose theories about general intelligence just don’t make sense. "

- Sarah Constantin
A mathematician,
Data Scientist, Machine Learning and "I'm interested in questions related to “how do we know what we think we know?” This touches on machine learning, cognitive science, and philosophy. "

================
Sarah continues...
================

"People who excel at the sit-down-and-execute activities that help you succeed in your field aren’t necessarily going to be able to reason about the weirdness of a changing world."

"(I agreed that the ability to “philosophize” well seems to be much rarer than the ability to execute well; I’ve seen many prominent computer scientists whose theories about general intelligence just don’t make sense.)"

"So the speculative, philosophical, imaginative stuff that comes before sitting down and executing is important for success, important for humanity, and maybe something we can learn to do better. John certainly thinks so, and wants the rationality community to be a sort of laboratory or nursery for these ideas."

MY COMMENT - I hope you got an intro to what I mean... more coming but feel free to say what you feel as I think sometimes Data Scientist or other people simply "will never get it" or "why to make all our work the 'people work' meanwhile in whatever field?" :thumbsup_hmn_h2: .

So I'm glad to find Sarah there who is into all that but understand we need to do something more than only that or what our jobs have incentivized us deliberately by design (and not the other stuff).

#DoubleCrux #Game for #Conflict #Resolution in #Relationships and More Productive Debate... 

A Strategy for Mutual Understanding [updated Sunday]

Developed by CFAR
(Center for Applied Rationality)

The goal is to simply pin down where exactly two people disagree.

To pragmatically go through the tensions in Truthseeking.

================
used:
================
1. Find a disagreement with another person
2. Operationalize the disagreement
3. Seek double cruxes
4. Resonate
5. Repeat!

" important is that even when people are "wrong," they are usually partially right "

[below is the same cross-posted info in case the link above doesn't work and links at the end of this post as extra writing]

🔗 2/ LessWrong [cross-posted from 1/] lesswrong.com/lw/o6p/double_cr

=================
WHAT IS A "CRUX" ?
==================

A "crux" usually means important point, but in this context it is any fact, if they believed differently about that fact, then they would change their conclusion in the overall disagreement. Each person offers a way to change their mind with something smaller in the disagreement.

A "double-crux" is a crux is a fact for both parties that would help them change their mind.

====================

█ My own example (I made up) is about Solar Panels "I do not believing they work long term"... "but I'd be convinced if regular people have posted somewhere more concretely their long-term experience or find a manufactured that has tested 1000's of them to see the real rate of failure / life expectancy."

"We can't just trust fairly new technology or Chinese hit-and-miss quality".

Even though there is not much else choice for "solar" or "portable" electricity that's the main thing

====================

(I did write more in this section below but is really not needed and only as I started thinking deeper about solar panels - you can skip this next part...)

====================
SO FOR EXTREME CONVINCING I'D NEED SOME MORE METRICS

"I'd feel much better and be convinced a lot more if we could:

✔️ Work out ourselves how much a solar panel costs in oil energy itself
+ time in manufacturing
+ what metals and other materials are in it
+ from where they comes from...
+ facts given in a reliable way -

....then I might be convinced solar panels are not a gimmick or extension of oil !!

====================
⚠️ WHAT'S MY PROBLEM
WITH THIS METHOD?
====================

⚠️ MY BIGGEST PROBLEM WITH THIS IS FINDING SOMEONE WILLING TO DO THIS WITH - MOST OF MY LIFE PEOPLE HAVE SILENTLY AVOIDED AND RESISTED ⚠️

====================

but.... if you do find someone....

"... that feeling you get when you genuinely change your mind... "

" The idea is to get you and someone you disagree with into a situation such that hopefully one of you will be able to change your mind. It is genuinely one of the most awesome experiences I've ever had... "

- Eric Herboso

ericherboso.org/2016/01/the-do

" First, you need a friend who's willing to do this with you. It only works if you're both intellectually honest, willing to change your mind if presented with sufficient evidence, and excited about the progress of getting closer to truth... "

" But even in these "failures", I've found the double crux game to be an immensely rewarding experience, because it usually helps both sides to understand the perspectives of each other much more. "

Pete Michaud points out that you can use the game to resolve cognitive dissonance by examining your internal epistemic rationality, or even to build deep, sustainable caring by playing between the parts of you that thinks some part of the world matters and parts of you that are afraid to look in that direction.

in =
Towards

====================
DEEPER: ASKING TO BE
CONVINCED
====================

" In a debate I am challenging the other person for their best arguments, which I probably won't find immediately convincing. However, I can then ask myself "what should be added to their argument that would convince me? "

lesswrong.com/posts/isDnrPdRaX

===================
OTHER QUOTES SIMILAR
OR USEFUL TO METHOD
===================

" Ultimately, each move should be in service of reversing the usual antagonistic, warlike, "win at all costs" dynamic of most disagreements.

If we can move the debate to a place where, instead of fighting over the truth, we're collaborating on a search for understanding, then we can recoup a lot of wasted resources.2

The Umbrella Ethic of Good Faith — Nell Watson

The space remained sacred. I knew it had different rules, and did my best to follow them. When I was incorrect, they explained. Use 'I' statements. Things about your own beliefs, your models, your feelings. Things you know to be true. Pay attention to your body, and how it is feeling, where things come from, what they are like. Report it. At one point one participant said they were freaking out. I observed I was freaking out. Someone else said they were not freaking out. I said I thought they were. The first reassured me they thought there was some possibility we'd survive. Based on their prior statements, that was an update. It helped a little.

What we need is for Sarah to hang out and around people who believe we should value (on every meta level) such thinking MORE, not less.
