But I figure if I can
We're all doing our best to do better, but the truth keeps getting in the way.
I suspect that I may be
I don't care who the truth hurts, even if it hurts me, because I believe that the truth is the best thing that there is for the collective (society).
And that's because you taught me that it was. You taught me that because
Facebook is getting into trouble because
It needs to use
A story that
The platform needs to be transparent that the post that you're reading was authored by
We need you not only to LIKE posts, but we need you to UNDERSTAND posts. If you don't understand the post then
And so the collective gets zero value from you reading it. The risk then is that the only thing that it can ever do is bring negative value to society (zero being neutral).
If
To fix the world we need for
We need to bypass that painful part of the message for you so that you can still access the contents of the post equitably. And so the social media platform of your choosing should be able to expose you to messages that you find uncomfortable by design, but do so in a way that cussions you from the discomfort to help you come around to understanding the truth of the content. Then once you have an understanding of the truth we can peel back the lies that helped you to understand so that you can face the real truth (but only if you are ready to do so).
Here's the best part: school is a place where we send everybody to be taught the truth. They need the truth to survive and to coexist in society peacefully.
What we're discovering is that
It's the fastest and most fun way to learn about the world. That's why we're all so addicted to doing it.
The only problem with
It's not teaching us complete fiction either, but you have to work hard to spot the truth through all of the lies.
Web analytics can help us to understand which truths you're comfortable with and which ones you have trouble with today.
It seems to me that we're going to eventually need words to tell entire stories. They already do, of course, but we need to acknowledge it.
And so binary computers may not "understand" what
If
Of course the artificial intelligence that I describe will become the
Instead of just free-for-all comments we could build a technology that automates some of the necessary feedback loop needed to get the truth matching everybody's understanding in the world.
For example, if you're reading ANYTHING and aren't sure what the author meant you should be able to just point to the words you're interested in and be able to ping the author to ask them if they also mean some list of "other-class-name" too, and when the author responds the content should be updated to reflect it at the main source for the work automatically, and then ideally spread from there to the rest of the copies in the world.
That means we'll need to standardize the infinite tools for tracking this so that publishers/journalists/writers/everyone can easily setup a tracked document.
I hate to imagine there being engineers in secretive rooms in billion-dollar facilities trying to figure out how to train artificial intelligence to just INFER all of this between the lines stuff that we aren't saying. Why not just work in reverse? It's a lot easier.
This is a video that I threw together while trying to get high so that I could relax about all of this...
I got super high and had a lot of fun and arguably made a great video with wonderful points, but I haven't gotten to relax yet...
I think that I won't be able to relax until enough of you get it.
The video is age restricted because of my consumption of legal cannabis (Canada has legalized recreational use for 3 years now!) and my use of the truth (adult language).
Also some cursing was probably responsible.
Don't let that deter you from watching it.
Eventually I'd like to get YouTube to reconsider.
Though I also haven't ruled out just rerecording a video that I try really hard to keep squeaky "clean".
This is just a follow-up video where I
