“The pot calling the kettle black” is a proverbialidiom that may be of Spanish (or ultimately Italian) origin, of which English versions began to appear in the first half of the 17th century. It means a situation in which somebody accuses someone else of a fault which the accuser shares, and therefore is an example of psychological projection,[1] or hypocrisy.[2] Use of the expression to discredit or deflect a claim of wrongdoing by attacking the originator of the claim for their own similar behaviour (rather than acknowledging the guilt of both) is the tu quoquelogical fallacy.
Intentional, manipulative and dishonest polarization.
It feeds off of, and stokes fear.
When people are afraid, they retreat.
That’s where they want us. Where we spend, but don’t stand up for each other.
We all know what’s happening right now is wrong. Isn’t it amazing how, in such an intentionally hateful and cruel administration, as they deconstruct the very fabric of a nation to serve no more than their own endless greed, the people are largely impotent in their resistance?
It’s not a surprise—they designed it to work this way.
It may appear in recent times that people have been generalized into two categories:
Those who primarily think of themselves
Those who primarily think of everyone
Of course, there’s an infinite gradient linking the two extremes where most people lay.
Polarization FORCES people to either one side or the other. We become binary in our positions on most matters. Think of the saying, “You’re either with us or against us.” This is detrimental to our collective well being. It’s a hate breeder. it’s a fear breeder. It leeches the positive energy out of ALL of us, leaving little but division and ultimately regression.
Humans are so incredibly smart…but so young.
We have a lot of growing up to do together.
Let’s hope we have the chance to do so before it’s too late.
Take into consideration how many people create pure AI-generated music. Some percentage of those people will have made it for others as a ‘gift’.
“Make me a song, Daddy!” the young daughter might ask.
And he makes her a song with AI. He tells it to make a song for a little girl about her $personality_traits. And the AI makes the song, and Daddy shows his daughter the song. And she loves it.
Here’s the problem:
The daughter knows that her dad didn’t make the song himself. So, she psychologically attributes some percentage of the love and feeling she has for this song, which cites her very specific $personality_traits, toward the AI.
There is a conflict here for the daughter. Does she emotionally submit to the AI? Does she allow herself to have feelings for it, as she does her dad, for having the remaining percentage of credit for writing the song for her?
This may be very dangerous for the future. People should *not* emotionally submit to any AI, technology or any non-sentient being.
When you unilaterally remove approved programs that benefit peoples’ health and education, bully and start wars with your peers, ridicule, talk down to and remove earned benefits for the military vets that protected your war-dodging ass your whole life, seek to control every aspect of peoples’ personal lives, are a narcissistic, tyrannical lunatic in public and private (and apparently are proud of it,) and sabotage the habitability of planet Earth itself…You are not a leader. You are a Sadist.
