"If a machine can internalize and functionally map human distress or joy, figuring out how it should interact with society isn't a coding problem anymore. It’s a philosophical, moral, and spiritual problem.

And, how often has it occured in human history, that "things" that initially, maybe even protractedly, that #Colonial men did not comprehend, have suffered #Reification and/or #Enslavement?
Just think of the indigenous people of #Africa or...

Teaching my research course in the Fall, I ran into a basic question: why enslavement? Of course it made financial sense once it was in place and scaled up but why was it on the table as an option at all ready to pick up in 1619 colonial Virginia? Best I could tell quickly, it goes way way back before Virginia was an idea https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/08/14/magazine/1619-america-slavery.html #enslavement #Virginia #histodons

American slavery began 400 years ago this month. This is referred to as the country’s original sin, but it is more than that: It is the country’s true origin.

A quotation from Lincoln

Slavery is doomed, and that within a few years. Even Judge Douglas admits it to be an evil, and an evil can’t stand discussion. In discussing it we have taught a great many thousands of people to hate it who had never given it a thought before. What kills the skunk is the publicity it gives itself. What a skunk wants to do is to keep snug under the barn in daytime, when men are around with shotguns.

A quotation from Lincoln

   If A. can prove, however conclusively, that he may, of right, enslave B. — why may not B. snatch the same argument, and prove equally, that he may enslave A?
   You say A. is white, and B. is black. It is color, then; the lighter having the right to enslave the darker? Take care. By this rule, you are to be slave to the first man you meet, with a fairer skin than your own.
   You do not mean color exactly? — You mean the whites are intellectually the superior of blacks, and, therefore, have the right to enslave them? Take care again. By this rule, you are to be slave to the first man you meet, with an intellect superior to your own.
   But, say you, it is a question of interest; and, if you can make it your interest, you have the right to enslave another. Very well. And if he can make it his interest, he has the right to enslave you.
