    This argument, I have heard in real life, sounds A LOT like the US justification for the war in Iraq. It even comes from people who probably opposed the war in Iraq at the outset.

    Consider this: what event in Texas would justify the military of Mexico sacking Houston and then making a beeline towards Washington DC? If you answered “nothing Texas could do to its own people could justify that” then good, you probably oppose the Russian Invasion. And we don’t have to discuss the details of some idelogues in Crimea.








  • Why is art as a reference point for some new technology a bad thing? We can’t all get a history degree to understand ancient Egypt, so does everyone need a degree in medicine and computer science to understand neuralink?

    I don’t really get the meme. Even if the person is too “stupid” to imagine a technology without Black Mirror to do the heavy lifting, it’s still a useful metaphor to articulate reasons why.
