I see where you’re going with this and I accept the possibility Trump is just clumsy and avoidant on the issue.

But you must be aware that there is a strong belief amongst MAGA types and deep conservatives in general that slavery was benign if not beneficial to those subjugated. D’Souza wrote a whole book about it.

They believe liberals exaggerate the bad parts of slavery due to irrational white guilt and black people agree because they are whiners and want reparations.

I strongly suspect this plays into Trump’s rants regarding museums and history curricula.

It’s spelled ‘millstone’.

Zeebrugge? They left the doors open. Then there was Ferry Aid…

I like that the lions don’t quite fit on the gateposts.

You’re only missing Octordle!

I sadly had to retire my Key2, easily the nicest phone I’ve owned since 1994.

I bought the Titan but returned it for being so underpowered in comparison. Is the Titan Slim2 going to improve on that?

Aristotle broke it down into:

Ethos (credibility)

Pathos (emotional appeal)

Logos (logical argument)

Balancing ethos, pathos, and logos is still the bedrock of political speeches, marketing campaigns, and courtroom arguments.

Also, beware the Sophists who argue well regardless of the truth.

So many confident takes on AI by people who’ve never opened a book on the nature of sentience, free will, intelligence, philosophy of mind, brain vs mind, etc.

There are hundreds of serious volumes on these, not to mention the plethora of casual pop science books with some of these basic thought experiments and hypotheses.

Seems like more and more incredibly shallow articles on AI are appearing every day, which is to be expected with the rapid decline of professional journalism.

It’s a bit jarring and frankly offensive to be lectured ‘at’ by people who are obviously on the first step of their journey into this space.
