Science and the arts existed just fine without Intellectual Property. Abolishing copyright would be a huge win for society as a whole and a minor loss to corporations.

It really was good material and I liked the alluding that AI was as close to heaven as you can get. Too bad it has been taken down. Locking our culture up is a disservice to everyone who has ever existed.
I teared up listening to this special. It was like he was still alive. A lot of good material and definitely in his spirit. People who want to lock up our culture behind paywalls can get bent.
Simply put propaganda works. If you allow people to spread hate then it grows. I don’t think you have ever been a person on the receiving side of hate where a group of people want you to cease to exist, to take your rights away, or to torture you.
In our modern world if you spread intolerance you are shunned and deplatformed. That is a big improvement compared to the past. It is not perfect either.
You mentioned people get silenced unfairly or cut short because of pushing boundaries. This weighs heavy on your thought process imagining bogey men taking away people’s freedoms.
It is ultimately a naive and impractical viewpoint though borne out of privilege and lack of experience. This whole freedom of speech movement is a red hearing for hate speech and you bought into it trying to be reasonable. There is no reasoning with them and you are simply wrong.
Did they have to make it looks so ugly?
Oh I remember saying something along the lines of Ron Desantis was a dirty diaper and should be thrown out in the trash on a conservative Reddit.
The mods tried to have me banned over it and said I was harassing them. Unbelievable when all they did was talk smack about everyone. I learned when Reddit suspended my account over mods being butthurt that it was going down the drain.
Oh yes please stick with Apple. I don’t think I have ever heard of a better use case scenario.
Tesla, “We are fucking liars.”
The gist is hate speech is not protected in some European countries. For instance it is straight up illegal to be a Nazi and say Nazi propaganda in Germany.
The fear is the “left” is going to ban hate speech and they won’t be able to say racist and sexist things anymore.
Now that we have unlimited power we can finally extract all that gold!

It is a lot more complicated than that. There are strong cultural reasons we defunded them but in essence they had become so toxic it was best to close them.
Allowing someone to act out on their deranged fantasies just results in reinforcing this behavior. No, it would not help them.
We learned in the early eighties that allowing people to scream, tear up stuff, and generally destroy things that it did not help them move past their feelings of anger. If you hit things to deal with anger it becomes a feedback loop of hitting more things more often to deal with the emotion.
Did you see ocean temperature off the coast of Florida reaching one hundred degrees? Cool off in a hot tub…
CEO should not be compensated in shares because they have insider information and can benefit from manipulation. It has always been a recipe for disaster.
Not to mention with billions of people walking around is anyone’s voice really unique? I have met hundreds of people in my life who sound so much alike it is hard to distinguish them.
They can literally just approach any US based social media and pay to access their data.
If there is a threat it is Tiktok dumbing down people who use it. The amount of misinformation is staggering not to mention getting it users addicted to quick meaningless videos.
I cringe everytime I see Tiktok or Youtube shorts. It is like they are designed for goldfish brains to watch with no long-term memory or critical thinking whatsoever.
Said the person who has never been a moderator or has any clue about moderation.
Oh yes because racism, sexism, and nazism should be allowed to be promoted because free speech. So what minorities will be lynched, women will be raped, and our country will slip into authoritarianism because that is freedom…
Listen up, propaganda works. That is why it is being used to disrupt our society. It is time to pick a side. Are you with the haters calling for the end of people’s freedom in the name of the false premise of freedom of speech so they can reshape society to benefit the minority? Because that is what we’re are really talking about.
Every single poster here has relied on disruptive technologies in their life. They don’t even realize that they couldn’t even make these arguments here if it was not for people before them pushing the envelope.
They don’t know the history of their technology nor corporate law. If they did they would just roll their eyes every time an entrenched economic interest started saber rattling about the next disruptive technology that is going to steal their profits.
The posters here are the people who complained about horsewhip manufactures that were going out of business because of cars. They are ignorant and act like the few sound bytes they heard make them an expert.
