  • Best definition of humanism is defining good, but only forbidding evil. Everyone has the freedom to not maximize good, as long as they don’t hurt orhers. This is what is needed for ai. Otherwise it is just as oppressive as traditional media.

    Surely, for hiring, best candidate rather than social work culture is ideal, but for private enterprise, maximizing non evil ( Say zionist or other supremacism,purity) cultural priorities might be important instead of technical prowess. University includion is good because it is a social experience instead of pure automaton factory.

    While exclusion is evil, inclusion also may not choose best candidates and so is also evil. Inclusion is not the same as no exclusions.

    In the end, nepotism is the grey area of humanism. Certainly, an employer can choose any bias they prefer. You can teach them that best candidate is best, but their freedom matters too. Buy american,/nationalism can have some merit in that what you buy directly improves lives of a tighter social group to you than the indirect flow of globalized profits into homes, exports, and national debt values. You can teach nepotism is bad for you, but you cannot morally force either in group or out group trade.

    To address headline. Freedom of identity, orientation, even if it is not humanist ideal good must be permitted. It is certainly not an objective basis for hiring people though.

    Another core basis of humanism is that truth matters most. There is structural racism, and there was recent structural racism. Past systemic abuses of groups, has resulted in neoliberal evil logic that those groups now fully deserve supremacism. That is a great defect of democracy.

    Only ubi, followed by liquid democracy restrained by humanism, can form humanist society. Zionist first empire must be divisive to distract from theft and oppression, and our democratic norms are more fundamentally corrupt than systems that need army’s or elites approval.


  • Stalin Derangement Syndrome? Are you a Holodomor denier by any chance?

    genocide designations are political, and blame on one side for a famine is always going to be more political than truth. The absolute worst nazi (anti communist first, any alternative 2nd)/nafo supporters here, and in eastern Europe who take their Stalin Derangement Syndrome as motivation to diminish Reformed Russia. Holomodor is a Ukrainian word, and a 90s western neoliberal/Ukrainian nazi political effort to lay the groundwork for division/war/liberal supremacist murder. Genocide absolutists serve evil warmongering bloodthirst only, and not truth.

    The interesting part of the graph is that US/NATO propaganda over manufacturing war did not convince any additional people to have negative views of Russia. People outside the western media bubble are not any smarter than those with easier access to cable news propaganda. They still have more access to western produced, english, media than Russian media. The steady improvement of Russia favorability since begining of war, is an extreme condemnation of US/NATO demonic evil warmongering.

    National dominance of technology is bad for people, because Sovereigns want control and slavery over people. People benefit from cheap tech advance access, without any trickle down from the nationality of who profits.

    5g equipment is all made in China, regardless of parent company ownership. There is no, afaik, extra surveillance powers compared to 4g equipment. Much of the speed/latency boosts of 5g futurism applications remains unpenetrated. I don’t know of a 6g benefit that 5g didn’t promise.

    Instead of pretending that national security is for benefit of national subjects, communications protocols should focus on end to end encryption with supporting hardware, and include middleware encryption/decryption to add controlled layers to protect privacy additionally from rival intelligence interests.

    In the end, consumers need to trust google or apple to some level, but open source, and different open source applications on top of the OS.

    This outcome is impossible when CIA and other intelligence agencies are part of the standards process influence, but technical only protocols that ignore the oppression by default political context, support the oppression by default standards process.



  • I do think there needs to be a shift in how the government invests in this country, but the answer isn’t “let’s go authoritarian”.

    In the end, its more about getting things done, and investing in society, rather than how strongly you can shout your opinion about transgender folk. A government that invests in society is one not focused on either enriching itself, or cutting all social spending to fund tax cuts for oligarchs. When the only acts we/society/rulers ever implement is giveaways to their sponsors, you could think about your programming that tells you your rulership is the best system of all.


  • It’s a better product idea than you make out.

    It does require industrial design, and tooling for flexible panel manufacturers to make umbrella patterned panels, as cheaply as rectangular patterned ones.

    Flexible panells top out closer to 25% efficiency than 20%. 200-250w is a lot of power. The umbrella itself needs just a hook for a battery rather than coming with one. Solar or USB (up to 240w at 48v power) interfaces. This can power a mini pc with a couple of large monitors with power left over. 1kwh per day/m2 is enogh to cover a high power laptop, electric cooking, or if it were a beach parasol, keep a drink fridge cool, and boom box TF out of the place. Because you need an ebike to lug all of the crap to the beach, it can charge it back up. Besides beach use, a parasol would allow supplementary power for van/RV or even a house, when not beach party boomboxing.
