I've seen some over the top stuff here at Mastodon but someone picking a fight about "socialist AI" is a new height.:)

Reminder, if your goal is advocacy, attacking random ppl about the topic you're supposedly advocating on means that you don't understand advocacy.

One person's take on Professor Ernest Becker's historical magnum opus, "The Denial of Death" (1973).

"We are going to die. All of us. No exceptions. Yet, we deny this fact. Run away from it. Tacitly agree to ignore it. Then deny that we did any of this, or that anything out of the ordinary happened."

"One is that what goes on in the country will play out on its roadways. Another is that anger on the roads is getting worse. Across the country, the number of people injured or killed in road rage incidents involving a gun has doubled since 2018"

As road rage rises, aggressive drivers in Texas try to understand their anger.

As incidents of road rage escalate across the country, aggressive drivers in Texas try to understand what triggers anger.

It’s weirdly engaging content but what are the clinical implications of this? Imagine how transference would be inflected through a parasocial relationship with a therapist who does reaction videos?
