One thing I've really been working on this year is binary thinking. When I encounter debates or internet disagreements, in the past I'd find myself believing that if someone disagreed with me on one detail or shade of their argument, they were against or opposed to me, even if other parts of our dialogue were in agreement. I found myself becoming distrusting of those who otherwise were very closely aligned with me, even more so than those who were ideologically very different, probably because I had already written them off or cut myself off from contact with them.
Through the life-saving psychoeducation reading I've been doing the past few years, I've learned that either-or, black and white thinking is exascerbated by trauma. When someone is in fight/flight, the prefrontal cortex is inhibited- that is where higher-order, critical thinking takes place. We are unable to deal with nuance when triggered. Think of fights where you say things to your partner like "you always_____ or, you never _____". In BPD terminology, we call this phenomenon splitting- when you can temporarily think about someone you care about only in terms of them being "all good" or "all bad".
Pair this with the fact that binary thinking is a feature of white supremacy culture. I am an anarchist who was brought up Evangelical (no longer am) where "if you're not with us, you're against us" thinking is rampant.
So interrogating where these phenomena come up in discussing leftist theory and praxis has been eye opening. Just because we are trying to leave certain cultures, doesn't mean those thought processes leave us overnight. They are ingrained in our neurological processes and take time to identify and relearn. We need enough felt safety to be able to access our capability for nuance.
@TheMemeticist@mas.to Damn what might have caused a respiratory illness to become a an autoimmune diseases?
@en3py @BleepingComputer Although I don't like this kind of big gov overreach, but in this case it's there is a merit to it, there are so many kids becoming addicted to online gaming and in-game purchases it's a disaster!
I saw my friend's kid cry like he is dying to get 20 bucks to buy online avatar skin. (not to buy food, clothes or go out with his friends).
That choked me a lot and made question of if I should get kids some day.
@taylorlorenz That's a low effort article, it's just a promotion for your substack, i.e "I got banned from Twiiter, please sub to my substack". Okay!

Adults are at times farther from comprehending the world than children. Children have yet to educated, but remain open to learning, while adults have often been 𝘮𝘪𝘴-educated, and so jealously guard the granite of their preconception from being cracked by a contrary truth.
@indigonaut @ElonMuskBot There is no alternative, too much data for human to process cost effectively. Hopefully his AI will develop a nuanced and balanced moderation policy.

> I guess it comes down to envy. Everyone in our society has (or can have) a car, but not many own a plane.
It's envy and shortsightedness, that guy was hacking in a way to get that plane travel data. A hacker could track a smartphone/car emitted Bluetooth signal the same way as an Apple AirTag. I am pretty sure that nobody would want their smartphone/car location to be public.
Protesting in front a company building or at a Politician public engagement is one thing, waiting for someone private plane to land and following his car is another, sharing real-time jet plane data travel makes the later easier and accessible for a lot of psychos out there, especially now since the rhetoric is negative toward Elon. .
I don't know the legal system in Germany, but it's immoral and dangerous to share real time location for any public figure.
Those German officials won't like those journalists if they did the same thing to them.
But the hive mind group think is real and now hating on Elon is the new thing.
Btw Elon's jet travel data was under FAA ADS-B Privacy https://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/technology/equipadsb/privacy
The guy publishing that data was circumventing the FAA ADS-B privacy protection as he admitted himself.
Let's see how the US legal system will handle this case.
@TheBrinz sharing a link to the real time exact location of somebody that's doxing and that's dangerous, those reporters knew what they wew doing and pushing this issue to make Elon uncomfortable and look bad.
@freemo Wow these are good, what AI tool did you use to generate these avatars?

> court news yesterday-look it up WE do not have to see video-the court has seen the video.
Who's "WE"? A group cult, a political party, a religious community?
Every individual has the right to make up his own mind on events, based on objective facts and evidence.
E.g
Kyle Rittenhouse killed two people and injured one, there were multiple videos with different angles of that event. The prosecutor saw those videos and charged him with murder. The jury (12 different people) saw the same videos and determined it was self defense, he is a free man now.
I bring this example to prove that different interpretations can be made on same event based on the same objective facts.
I really got to see how the attacker got into Mr Pelosi's house, what was the nature of their relationship and what the police saw when they arrived on scene. There is no doubt that the attacker was deranged individual and online
hate clickbait may have played a factor that lead to that crime, but it's an ongoing story, I will wait and see all the evidence to make a jugement.
We can agree on clickbait hate and dangerous labels can lead to nefarious consequences.
re: Bird Site, Fascism
> obscure dispute gone wrong? Dude you just went partisan, not me. No these are both examples of clickbait leading to horrible events.
You brought the husband of a pollical leader as an example
Obscure because no camera footage from the police nor the residence.
These two examples have nothing in common a part from bringing left vs right politics
The whole point is to stop spreading hate toward individuals.
#stopthehate in the #fediverse
re: Bird Site, Fascism
@susanbradley @malwaretech Yes we are in an insane clown world and comparing an obscure dispute gone wrong inside Mr Pelosi's house to a crazy stalker endangering Elon's innocent child just shows how we live in an insane out of touch partisan society.
I see a lot of hate on the #fediverse toward Elon Musk.
That hate won't resolve any problems and leads to dangerous outcomes.
Here we are seeing how an inflammatory rhetoric leads to crazy criminals acting on that crazy endangering the life of an innocent child.
