That there are socitial prerogatives is not something I argue against. I do have reservations about understanding those prerogatives as decorum. Just as I do not understand the demand for redress of grievances as decorum.
The impact of new technology on society is something judged after the technology is in the hands of users. I do not believe there is a way to focus on using the technology before it is in our hands. Often the use of it is not what was intended by the maker.
How would one know whether a tool has any agency or autonomy? For now I have a hard time believing tools have ends other than their users. Should a thermostat’s sentience of the temperature give reason for me to believe it possessed any agency or autonomy?
If a robot slave is an instrument, I would have no problem using it as the tool or production it is. If it is an end in itself, things change.
How old of a mac mini to you think. I have one from 2010 and one from 2012.
It is my action that leads to outcome with my expectation somehow informing my action. Indeed, not knowing is key to experiment and experience. When I ponder how much my own taste was formed by that which has been fed to me, I do try to be a little tolerant, just a little.
The imposition of manners and proper decorum is the business of society. Under such societal guidance, when outcomes with which I disagree are manifest, has society errored or is something else happening? Something that is not to my taste may not be wrong, but that doesn’t mean I will eat it, or even feed it to those I love.
Yes, I would fire myself if somehow I became CEO of nostr. Only hierarchical organizational structures need chiefs. In decentralized, distributed organization, there is no need for a chief. There is much to be said for the value of each type organization.
I too believe the guidance of parents is, to a large part, accountable for the way people behave. But when one behaves differently than I expect, I believe the problem is my expectation, not something else. It doesn’t mean I tolerate what I don’t expect, but that is a different subject.
Help me nostr.
The word ‘artifact’ seems to apply to instruments made by people. Is there a word for something that emerges from the institutions of our society? I think I could use that word to describe a difference I am understanding in the organic communities of people and the type communities that emerge from the association of people within institutions.

If making a change to that which presents obstacles is your goal, saying Fuck Off will not help you reach your gold. And for those things that do not stand between you and your goal, saying Fuck Off doesn’t provide value either for you or for them.
Death is not something for which there is a cure.
Fire the CEO.
Imagine there is no tomorrow and you ask what are you doing today? I will do my best to make myself and those I love comfortable, just like everyday.
All of our expectations are unreasonable. Nevertheless, we can share them in communications and by doing so we can come to understandings with others. This is the way.
I think this is the wrong expectation to have of a child who may have not been taught to do such things.
Right now I believe nostr needs to have a better way for users to search for content. I use hashtags for most of my searches. Is there a better way? I believe the content will come when the users can find a way to find it. I would like to have access to ‘how to’ type information in various areas of endeavor. That was what I found useful with reddit.
