Thank you for answering. The question was in such a primordial state that I had to post it here, since I couldn’t find many of the words. I have now seen that some branches of Critical Theory have been used to design a theoretical deliberative democracy that could be used someday, and not have as many problems as today. There is also work by very new authors to use Critical Theory to answer “What is to be done?”, which I wondered was possible.
Well, has it solved global conflicts? Has any president or other great leader been influenced by Critical Theory? Has there been a successful government program or popular revolution based on Critical Theory? Has Critical Theory solved problems of hunger, or any resource shortage? Has Critical Theory made laws easier to understand and more fair? Things like that. I keep hearing about it, and altho some right-wingers say it’s evil, other people have more confusing answers. I’m a more classical Marxist, and I’ve read through some of it, but I can’t understand if it would help the proletariat towards revolution, or just well-being in general.
Bitch, words have wildly varying meanings. What does “embolden” mean here? What does “communication” mean here? Is this a religious thing? The transcription process of DNA can be described, as can the movement of planets, and what causes fire to burn and extinguish, but for some reason this is too esoteric for me to understand because of “the system”. What is this “system”? What isn’t this “system”? Is this the Anything-But-Class theorizing that Parenti was talking about?
How? I’ve read a bit about it, but I’m not exactly sure what you’re describing.
I mean, that wouldn’t just solve the climate crisis, that would also get people to talk to each other, help people exercise, cut down on pollution…
Immeasurably great reporting. This was painful to yet, but a blessing to know.
And the reason things are so bleak is because most people only have words to go off of, rather than actions.
Showing up to a protest is also an action. So is smashing someone’s car. Do you think you can feed the hungry purely by posting thoughts on social media?
I blame the attempt to make devices user-friendly. Convenience kills skill.
I think Generative AI should just be scrapped. Nobody needs hyperrealistic photos and videos, or chatbots, or any of that shit. The main problems of the world are not technological, but legal. Too many laws are enacted for the benefit of robber-barons, and unless they are scrapped, I have no faith in my legal system.
You should look at the energy cost of AI. It’s not a miracle machine.
