| -TechBytesBot/#techbytes-@schestowitz@joindiaspora.com: #religion isn't the sole form of #tribalism albeit it does reinforce and embolden tribalism based on a superficial paradigm/dimension. People of the same race, even relatives, attack one another, for having the "wrong" belief in the "wrong" fiction. | Apr 23 18:05 | |
| schestowitz | "IMHO the adequate overarching framework to approach these questions is cognitive dissonance and herd responses to it. Tribalism and religions are downstream. Religions can be painted as attempts to domesticate it, attempts that often become failures, like the immune system can itself reveal an entry gate for deadly germs such as HIV." | Apr 23 18:05 |
| schestowitz | "The name of the disadvised or forbidden tree of the story of the Fall from Eden, in Genesis 2:17 (setting folklore interpretations apart that are themselves such herd responses) – that name admits straightforward reading as diagnosing how people give themselves to in the future precede or obey blind herd responses to cognitive dissonance. | Apr 23 18:05 |
| schestowitz | "And as the story details, it’s not necessary for the future response to occur in the physical presence of the herd, for it to be a blind herd response to cognitive dissonance." | Apr 23 18:05 |
| schestowitz | "Makes me wonder whether QM should not be modelled in terms of individuals and herds. I mean eg “quantum collapse”. Schrödinger’s equation describes the evolution when the herd releases its members. Quantum collapse is when herd response to cognitive dissonance kicks in." | Apr 23 18:06 |
| schestowitz | "This slant justifies the name of the death promised by Gn 2:17 not as referring to our animal death, but to the death of any destiny to reach …enlightenment, intelligence, the wider perspective." | Apr 23 18:06 |
| schestowitz | "Then there’s the victim of blind herd responses, the benefit of the doubt. When herd individuals roam freely and take divergent trajectories, they keep connected by mutually affording to each other the benefit of the doubt (on remaining loyal to herd unity, despite contrary (and in QM barely observable) evidence)." | Apr 23 18:06 |
| schestowitz | "At this point my horizon is on how to figure the wave-like featires of the wave-function in these terms. They may be telling of self-inhibitng and self-amplifying features of the configuration of the whole herd distribution, that can stop or enable the promotion to blind herd response of the experience of the single individual (although it’s likely that in the case of QM we should think of collapse or blind herd response as a self-similar | Apr 23 18:06 |
| schestowitz | fractal motion, in such a way that distinguishes not a response leader individual, but, in the general case, an individual who’s really a herd onto itself, and within that secret microscopic herd, an individual, this iterated an arbitrary number of times…)" | Apr 23 18:06 |
| schestowitz | "Now to water the “cognitive dissonance” side of things avross the QM analogy, inspiration may be taken from lie groups. There is a notorious connection beteeen particle types and lie group representations. The idea would be to picture lie group representatons as manners of collective blindness presiding to herd response behaviors." | Apr 23 18:06 |
| schestowitz | "… for the herds in QM, whose member indivuual organism yet needs sorting out to best fit the analogy." | Apr 23 18:06 |
| schestowitz | "The ironic side of this, if the physicists who figured out quantum mechanics had thought to borrow the eyes of the herders culture so despised for the responsibility of religious backwardness that sacralizes the latter’s legacy in the most stupid ways – the physicists would have found the similarity of eg quantum collapse and herd behavior conspicuous. They didn’t. Of course, the way herd behavior dominated the wider human context was | Apr 23 18:07 |
| schestowitz | also destructively interferencing with homing on a view on QM bound to connect to an implied critique of herd bahavior." | Apr 23 18:07 |
| schestowitz | "Don’t destructive interference and cognitive dissonance display vague resemblance when squinting?" | Apr 23 18:07 |

| schestowitz | <blockquote> | Apr 25 14:36 |
| schestowitz | <p>Attorney General William Barr, who has shown himself to be exactly the kind of presidential protector Trump wanted Jeff Sessions to be, did his best to whitewash the report. Almost four weeks before it was released to the public, Barr wrote a four-page letter to Congress purporting to summarize its findings. But as The New York Times’s Charlie Savage has shown, in the letter Barr took Mueller’s words out of context and omitted all | Apr 25 14:36 |
| schestowitz | mention of the damning evidence that courses through the report.* Just before releasing the report to the public, Barr also held a press conference in which he again distorted its conclusions, stating that it found no collusion with the Russians and no obstruction of justice by the president. Both statements are profoundly misleading. </p> | Apr 25 14:36 |
| schestowitz | <p>The Mueller report did not address “collusion,” a term that has no legal definition, but the narrower question of criminal conspiracy. It found no evidence that Trump campaign officials conspired with the Russians’ disinformation campaigns or [cracking] of computers belonging to the Democratic National Committee and the Clinton campaign. But it describes extensive contacts between the Trump campaign and the Russians, many of which | Apr 25 14:36 |
| schestowitz | Trump campaign officials lied about. And it finds substantial evidence both “that the Russian government perceived it would benefit from a Trump presidency and worked to secure that outcome, and that the Campaign expected it would benefit electorally from information stolen and released through Russian efforts.” Russian intelligence agency hackers targeted Hillary Clinton’s home office within five hours of Trump’s public request in | Apr 25 14:36 |
| schestowitz | July 2016 that the Russians find her deleted e-mails. And WikiLeaks, which was in close touch with Trump advisers, began releasing its trove of e-mails stolen by the Russians from Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta one hour after the Access Hollywood tape in which Trump bragged about assaulting women was made public in October 2016.</p> | Apr 25 14:36 |

| schestowitz | " | Apr 27 07:10 |
| schestowitz | Yes it is sad. But I can’t seem to find an antiwar/peace movement anywhere in the world. The so-called “peace” movement, including the Greens, got sidetracked in its support for the the anti-US sides in several ongoing wars. They seemed more concerned with victory than peace. | Apr 27 07:11 |
| schestowitz | For example, any time anyone actually protested the whole war in Syria, including protesting the unbelievably brutal and mass-murderous Assad regime, They got called a neocon, neoliberal, msm-braiwashed, Bush loving, CIA, NSA, FBI, deep state “regime change” warmonger! For daring to say that it is bad to bomb civilians, regardless of whether you are an absolute dictator who was appointed by his father, or a giant geopolitical empire. | Apr 27 07:11 |
| schestowitz | The “peace” movement got so hung up on supporting Assad and Putin, that it seems to have largely forgotten to oppose the US backed Saudi war in Yemen. The Democrats in Congress ended up trying to do it on their own and passed a joint resolution to end US support there, but trump vetoed it. There was barely a sound from either the “left” or the “peace movement”. To oppose that war might require some cooperation, or even some | Apr 27 07:11 |
| schestowitz | solidarity, with the Democrats. | Apr 27 07:11 |
| schestowitz | Hence, there is no peace movement. Just individuals, whose opposition to all sides of war earns them the ire of both sides in war. | Apr 27 07:11 |
| schestowitz | " | Apr 27 07:11 |
| schestowitz | "Well, I mean to say even advocating for Peace as a matter of principle. The Republicans and even the Democrats have seemingly given up on the very idea, never mind the details.

| schestowitz | Nixon won on a “peace with honor” platform, after having also colluded with the South Vietnam government to sabotage Johnson’s peace plan. He told them to wait till Nixon took office and he would give them “a better deal”. He then escalated the war and about 5 years later expanded it into Laos and Cambodia. | Apr 27 07:12 |
| schestowitz | Bush promised an isolationist government but then filled his cabinet with neocons. Rumsfeld, Cheney, Wolfowitz? Isolationist my ass. That’s the “Project for a New American Century”! | Apr 27 07:12 |
| schestowitz | Since the Vietnam war, the Democrats have been much more reluctant to go to war, but that doesn’t make them peaceniks. | Apr 27 07:12 |

| schestowitz | As we see from the article, the reality is that you do not have to “go to war” in order to kill large numbers of people in an attempt to achieve geopolitical goals. President Obama exploited this realization on a large scale, and now Trump is pushing this strategy further and further. | Apr 27 07:12 |
| schestowitz | We have proxies to wage our wars, along with automated missiles. The Press, (or it’s simulacrum) does not dare to investigate the origins and implications of these aggressions. | Apr 27 07:12 |

| schestowitz | " | Apr 27 07:12 |
| schestowitz | That depends on who you call “the press”. You heard of these things somewhere. | Apr 27 07:12 |
| schestowitz | It was really Bush who started the drone strikes. Obama did increase them, but he also stopped the Bush policies of “extraordinary rendition” and torture. He tried to close Guantanamo but decided not to because he didn’t have the support of the Republican Congress. He might have been able to do it by executive order. If so, he should have. He justified his increase in drone strikes by saying it was better than extraordinary rendition | Apr 27 07:12 |
| schestowitz | and torture, a very questionable justification for murder without even a trial. | Apr 27 07:12 |
| schestowitz | He also withdrew quite a lot of troops from Iraq, but that ended with the rise of ISIS. | Apr 27 07:12 |
| schestowitz | He gets absolutely no credit for the fact that he did not “regime change” Assad, or enforce his “red line” there, and actually limited US support to the rebels. Us-caused civilian deaths have increased there too, under trump. It’s not just Afghanistan. I will be very surprised if trump doesn’t start another major war before he’s done with us. | Apr 27 07:12 |

| schestowitz | " | Apr 27 07:12 |
| schestowitz | Bush was open about his conduct of war. Obama was not. He greatly increased the use of drones - exponentially. | Apr 27 07:12 |
| schestowitz | Regarding Syria, we have no business getting involved there. | Apr 27 07:13 |
| schestowitz | As for Trump, he is happy to hide our aggressions from us - but if it suits his political purposes he will also be happy to get us in an overt war. | Apr 27 07:13 |

| schestowitz | if we are going to hold it against canonical, we have to hold it against red hat as well. im no fan of them at all, but its not like canonical was alone in this. | Apr 27 07:29 |
| schestowitz | and i dont like autoupdates either, but as long as they can be turned off entirely, and an update doesnt turn them on again, i wouldnt compare them to microsofts “updates whether you want them or not” policy. this isnt to be soft on canonical-- i dont like them. i especially dont like these things about them. i just prefer to keep the analogies straight, because microsoft remains “even worse.” of course there are things microsoft has | Apr 27 07:29 |

| schestowitz | we agree on which default is better. for a newbie-friendly distro like ubuntu (at least it used to be friendly, i think its a lot less reliable/stable than when i relied on it in 2007, to the point where it affects how friendly we can say it is) i can understand (but not agree with) the decision to make updates on by default. mozilla seems to do the same, and i absolutely hate it. i actually use hosts to stop it-- when i do a new installation, | Apr 27 07:30 |
| schestowitz | hosts is already preventing them from updating. so the logic of opt-in vs opt-out, i get it. | Apr 27 07:30 |
| schestowitz | red hat and canonical are hardly friends in the fight for software freedom. i am registered and active on the ubuntu forums, because i am working to make more people literate with code and free software politics everywhere i can. i switched from ubuntu to trisquel nearly a decade ago, and trisquel to debian a few years ago-- until debian brought in systemd. there is definitely a growing number of widespread problems http://techrights.org/2019/ | Apr 27 07:30 |

| -TechBytesBot/#techbytes-@schestowitz@joindiaspora.com: Competitive sports have become really awful; either you lose because you don't cheat (drugs) or you get >falsely< accused, even if you >don't< cheat, esp. when you're successful like Mo Farah. What a load of rubbish. Is Armstrong still a multimillionaire? Yes. | Apr 28 05:59 | |

| -TechBytesBot/#techbytes-@schestowitz@joindiaspora.com: Calling people who are on #diaspora and the #fediverse "Twitter users" because they also have a shadow account on #twitter is like calling every site on the #www a "Google site" because #google keeps a copy (Google Cache) | Apr 28 06:00 | |
| schestowitz | "Having a shadow account on Twitter is a personal choice. I certainly don’t have one, nor would I willingly create one. You don’t have much of a choice about Google caching your site. My experience is that they crawl your site regardless of the advisory “robots.txt” file. this is one reason I tend to prefer the Zot based projects (Hubzillla and Zap) as they provide access control for your site contents." | Apr 28 06:00 |
