  • Yeah, kids focusing too much on their robot instead of other people is one of my concerns.

    A robot can teach the kid all the right things, but it will never give a kid the real social experience, which can get rough if a kid is not sufficiently exposed to it right from the start. Even now, as real human communication moves online in a large part, children grow up increasingly socially anxious and maladapted. From that position, I’m quite uncomfortable with “study from home” trends as well, as school is one of the key venues for IRL child-child interactions.

    On the other hand, I wonder what would happen if all kids first developed with perfect robots and then started interacting with one another. But that’s a subject for yet another unethical experiment.











  • Jedi took Anakin as a small boy away from his mother and told him “not to worry” about her (a slave on a hostile planet), because apparently experiencing fear is a slippery slope towards becoming an evil mass murderer (warrior of the Dark Side).

    Then, when she was killed, he was not allowed to grieve, either.

    Then Anakin got visions of Padmé, his wife, dying in childbirth, all while Jedi restricted any marriages to begin with and essentially have cut him out of any counseling, while Yoda doubled down on “ignore your feelings” line.

    The entire story of Anakin on the Light Side is the story of everyone neglecting the absolute base emotions he has experienced and trying to raise him as a “tough man” he never was.

    Palpatine has seen all of it unfolding, and he knew very well Anakin wasn’t an emotionless robot Jedi wanted to make of him, and all it took was exploiting Anakin’s raising wave of anxiety over Padmé’s fate along with his desperate escape into careerism to switch him to the Dark Side, where he, as Darth Vader, will end up destroying worlds and commanding an authoritarian dystopia.

    I’ll bash them too when I see them doing so. So long, it’s mostly them (or really, everyone leftier than liberals bunched along with actual tankies) that are under fire.

    Your war made too much collateral damage, that’s what I’m saying. Newbies come to .ml and other popular instances, and are attacked on the spot for being presumably almost Nazis. Others come and see this mess.

    You are so concerned about someone making China/Russia look better that you are ready to overlook everything else.
