That's not even the question. One person at 14 can be way more mature than another person at 17. The offenders went for those they knew wouldn't or couldn't say "no". When these people years later put out a list, who is going to protect them? Who is going to ensure people are prosecuted?

I agree with you, even though you described the charactersics I like about OP. This is however, one of those posts that is based in emotions. It's important for us to realize what the victims have been up against.

Point taken. We cannot. No one really can. That's why I wouldn't ask the victims to take on the fight for themselves unless they fully understand the consequences and are willing to stand up regardless.

Sorry about the wording. I should have said, "it would only take one of US...". Yeah it's not about them being bribed, but anyone hired or volunteering to protect them being bribed.

Exactly. If everyone of us decided to protect them. It would only take one of them falling for a bribe of millions, hundreds of millions, even billions. These sums are well within the reach of those involved.

It all seems like another trend at this point. For many years being ignored was a trend, now a section of the world seeing them as weapon to get to Trump is a trend. Some people are authentically supporting them, but the forces they are up against require absolute protection by the public.

People who create cults of personality know that majority of people are swayed by emotions far more easily than by facts.
The average person sees delusion, the rest see someone studying from a play book of previous leaders and is doing pretty well considering he is the president of the USoA.

It's all a balance. In most cases I would suppose the reasonable adult tries to give a child a healthy diet. Most children tend to eat a certain group of foods and ignore others. This can result in dietary deficiencies. So most adults do give options but as with anything else, within boundaries.

Ah, makes sense. It all depends how we define fear to be honest. Excercising caution, carrying out a risk assessment, and choosing safer opportunities doesn't necessarily stem from being fearful.

🤔 A fearless person with the ability to regret suggests recalibration after a mistake is very possible. A fearful person with no regrets suggests one may not be able to course correct even after missing several opportunities. However, that is just a theory.

It says a lot about how these parties are being funded. It's a desperate attempt by selfish wealthy people to protect their finances. They funded campaigns for open boarders to avoid paying decent wages. Now they want to use the chaos they have created to avoid paying taxes.

That is where strategic push back has to come in. Should such tools be used in a context of influencing the public, when the nature of its design is to serve the emotional needs of a private individual? Should there be a legal separation between AI for the commons and AI for the individual?

It's an act of trying to buy legitimacy within a certain group. Women are unfortunately collateral damage in a bid to win favour with the "bros". Did we cede control to that personality? Not directly, but indirectly through falling into the current of consumerism.

Because it is the natural cycle of civilization and empire. Class struggle is the definition of human existence. At the core, the question is "who has the monopoly on violence?". The growth of mass media before and after 1981 meant narratives were controlled and coercion went unchecked for decades.

We did that when we identified consumerism as the only way to keep the game of life going.

AI is in its infancy. It is limited to it's training data and algorithms governing how it learns from said data. It is something humanity should be careful with. We can abandon it, or let it fall into the abyss of data capitalism, or we can develop a tool that actually helps us.

It touches on hypocrisy. We would class anyone who hoards newspapers, boxes, even comic books, as suffering from anxiety. When it comes to money we think of them as successful. When an ego latches onto that it distorts the personality. He can only live within a fantasy.
