A poem about the dangers of #P01135809

@AskTheDevil You are most welcome.

I detest that on SM sites, brevity prevents me from fully expressing what I mean. #SM #SocialMedia

@AskTheDevil I agree with you. Thanks for inspiring my next post. Have a good one!

Sentience vs. sapience: I'm confused! Are all humans truly 'sapient' when conspiratorial beliefs are so mainstream? Maybe we're sentient, but sapient? People voted for Donald Trump! Time to stir the pot. 🤔 #PostTruth #Sapience #KingOfLies

@AskTheDevil Whether we base personhood on sentience or sapience, what makes it okay to behave the way some humans do towards others? I appreciate your views. I think they align with my question. Some humans abuse trees, plants, dogs, cats, and rivers. What makes that okay?

If we agree that all human beings are persons and that "persons" deserve respect, what aspects of personhood justify discrimination based on race, sexuality, or nationality? Let's unpack this. #EndHate #Xenophobia #LGBTQI+ #Racism

What is the measure of "a person:" Is it as simple as being human? Is it a more nuanced construct? Does personhood require self-awareness? Does it require free will? #personhood #Ethics

Devastated to hear about the tragic loss in #Clonmel. While journalism plays a critical role in society, there are ethical lines that should not be crossed. Flying a drone over such a painful scene and airing the footage disregards the privacy and grief of the affected families. #EthicalJournalism @Independent_ie

@singlemaltgirl Read peas as pees 😂

My thought for the morning: An ancient philosopher once stated that a person who cooks potatoes and peas in the same pot is very unsanitary.

My morning beef about Beef!
We are consumers, whether #food, other goods, or #information. Over my morning coffee, I had a discussion with ChatGPT about the following:
Let's talk #language and why it matters: "The beef in our burgers is 100% Irish;" Yes, but where is the horse from?
In a world where words are weapons, knowledge is our shield! Scientia sit potentia: (knowledge is power)
Sophisticated tools that evaluate language are susceptible to misinterpretation. https://bit.ly/3qKCtJP

@LnzyHou I know, they last forever!

It's not just a brand: it's a lifestyle! Timeless style: endless wear. A true working-class hero! @drmartens

As for me, I am not too worried about the future for myself: I am gone too old and long in the teeth for that. I am concerned about the destiny of the younger generation and my children.

I chatted with ChatGPT this morning about my post, as outlined below. Check it out from the link below.

Let me tell you a secret about puppets — they do not know they are puppets: do you? Puppeteers control their puppet pets reflexively and with great skill. Social media algorithms make extraordinary puppet masters.
