@tante@tldr.nettime.org Well, I think you are forgetting the exploitation of human labour in lower developed countries, without any responsibility regarding psychological health when it comes to filtering violence,… Most well known papers have written about it, but this problem just faded. I am not a sociologist but this is kinda new way of colonisation, just without military power – only economically.

@tante@tldr.nettime.org Not sure writing is gonna bring us far. People already know all of this, but they don't feel it yet. I wonder if we will ever be able to find a way to make them.

@tante@tldr.nettime.org Absolutely amazing description of the thing one must keep in mind to avoid falling into fundamental attribution error at all times: "We’re not bad people. We’re regular people living in a situation that rewards bad decisions and punishes good ones."
