@thoughtshrapnel During an interview @Casey @kevin, Dr. Haidt dismissed the potential downstream effects of policies based on his public advocacy work (which he separates from his scholarly work).
In anthro, we’ve already had our “Benjamin Spock Moment” and some became wary of such work. Is there an intellectual filiation to current approaches in #SystemsThinking?

“If we can’t win on social media, then we definitely can’t win on A.I.,” says Haidt.

@dajb About those camps…

Sounds like the second camp was on your mind. As were the marketing constructs on “generations”.

Some #SystemsThinking sounds rather linear.

Some day, let’s chat about #unthink.

@thoughtshrapnel The Heat Index case leads to diverse topics, from Future of Journalism to #Unthink.
Curious about this focus on pronouncements on a so-called “Who Cares Era”, casually making causal connections through external assessments of people’s level of “care”, mostly stated in binary. Almost sounds like visceral reactions to the #KittyGenovese story and #BystanderEffect.

Is there room for more discussion on shared care, distributed care? Neither good nor bad?

Wow! The cost of FREE, very nice video at: . #WebID #SocialMedia #UnThink
Been concerned about strong statements @gruber for some time. Not because of their content or opinionated tone, per se. It’s more about a #polarization they exacerbate.
In all honesty and due respect, I perceive a strong connection to #unthink. Despite the statement author’s strong dedication to correcting wrong takes, there’s a level of discourse which precludes thoughtful discussion.
Unless it’s in podcast form, where the blogger becomes more reflexive.
Case in point…

I've stopped supporting #Canadaland because it now internalizes the practices of the industries it was designed to cover.
Echoes of Schneidermann/Bourdieu.
#Unthink
@Ammienoot So, going through the original piece.
First: Thanks for sharing these thoughts! Reassuring as they match several of my concerns. Especially since #EdTech is often part of the ecosystem where #technosolutionism evacuates the #WickedProblems we're facing as a whole.
In a way, #GenerativeAI is a celebration of the #Unthink. Contrary to Kahneman's (in)famous description of systems 1 and 2, it's about perceived expediency, not "laziness".
