I know a bully when I see one.

The reporter stood his ground when he got in his face. Standing up to bullies is how you do it.

@benroyce he is obnoxious, but he has a point:
I dont feel like AI is working for me.
I do feel it's just something for rich guys in suits who refuse to answer questions.

Education cannot reform sociopaths. The aim of education should be to enable people to recognise and deal with such freaks. So far it's failing. ‍

@DrorBedrack

yeah the last question is pretty easy:

"NO"

[benroyce@mastodon.social]

@stilts

education is important, for most of us, to recognize and deal with sociopaths

for sociopaths, education just lets them be better sociopaths

@benroyce

Education is never a substitute for compassion, empathy and ethics.

It isn't a substitute for plain common sense either.

[benroyce@mastodon.social]

@ParadeGrotesque

yeah there's people who are highly educated who are easy pickings for fascistic social media psyop

and people with no formal education who have excellent senses about dealing with fascists and fascism

@benroyce
Doesn't diminish the importance of general education. Society’s potential is greater than that of any individual, so the process should be a net positive.
In theory...
