30 years ago I could understand lining up at the bank to pay bills or services. Today, I just don't get it, why people my age or younger still do it. Maybe they need to be shown? I was using my phone to make purchases as early as 2012. #wtf #bank #banking #life #society #Illiterate #tech

It feels like society is about six months away from someone creating a deck of collectible cards featuring deranged tech CEOs, and we collectively start hunting them down with pitchforks like they're sick Pokémon that somehow escaped Dante's Inferno. #society #bigtech #oligarchy #politics #healthcare #techbros #gambling #insane https://futurism.com/health-medicine/kalshi-defends-bet-drug-trials

Replying to @stux@mstdn.social
@stux@mstdn.social Education is a weird thing. It is linked to work vs being linked to personal growth. I would rather be “educated” and have a generalist background than be “schooled” for a specific task. University (the Canadian term) should be for personal growth, critical thinking, how to be a good person in society. I know it isn’t. That’s too bad. #Education #Society

"Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't after you." - Joseph Heller, Catch-22 My wife told me our younger son does not believe humans ever walked on the moon. My guess, based on prior conversations, is that he does believe UFOs carrying aliens from other worlds have visited Earth. I know he believes in supernatural events. His critical thinking skills are weak. I searched the internet for a quiz to assess one’s susceptibility to conspiratorial thinking and easily found a couple of them. I thought of asking my son to complete one and comparing his results to mine. Before proposing that to him, I decided to take the two quizzes myself. Although my susceptibility to conspiratorial thinking is less than average, I was surprised to test positive for some conspiratorial thinking, particularly about government influence by powerful persons. I quickly realized that answers suggesting my susceptibility to conspiratorial thinking were mostly informed by what I have observed during the last two years. So I retook the quizzes and answered the items based on my thinking just a couple years ago. My revised results then showed conspiracies to have little effect on my thinking. Perhaps thinking that would have been considered conspiratorial when the quizzes were designed (e.g., wealthy persons have excessive policy influence and suppress technology that could benefit society) is less conspiratorial today? #Catch22 #Conspiracy #Misinformation #Disinformation #Corruption #Politics #Government #Society

Declining quality In modern society, a bad culture has been formed that demands efficiency and cost reduction. "Just hurry up," "Get it out before them," and this pressure has led to a decline in quality. https://www.pixiv.net/novel/show.php?id=24045416 <> #modern #society #culture #efficiency #pressure #decline #quality #result #control #burner #disaster #deadline #arisen #excessive #overtime #unreasonable #specification #convenience #superior #people #low_quality #longer #cockroaches #parasites #money #market #distribution

品質低下 現代社会では効率化やコスト削減ばかりを求める構図、いやっ、悪文化が形成されている。「とにかく早く出せ」、「奴らより先に出せ」、そうして圧力を掛け品質の低下を招いてるのが実態。 https://www.pixiv.net/novel/show.php?id=24045407 <> #modern #society #culture #efficiency #pressure #decline #quality #result #control #burner #disaster #deadline #arisen #excessive #overtime #unreasonable #specification #convenience #superior #people #low_quality #longer #cockroaches #parasites #money #market #distribution

LLMs are considered plausibility engines, but there is a greater plausibility engine in play: Human society. And unlike LLMs, it is corrected by reality. https://knowprose.com/2026/07/the-plausibility-engine-a-conversation-with-reality/ #LLM #society #reality
