"Je mehr die Homophoben mit Beschimpfungen um sich warfen, desto mehr feministische Bücher las ich, entdeckte lesbische Künstlerinnen, erfuhr mehr über die geschichte der Homosexuellen-Community. Meine Geschichte."

It's time to #TalkAboutHumanities so here is a contribution:
Resisting Dehumanization in the Age of 'AI': The View from the Humanities
When AI boosters talk about universal basic income to excuse all of the jobs they claim they can eliminate, ask:
“Then why are you working on AI, and not on universal basic income?”
If you are a journalist in this space and you don’t ask this every time UBI comes up, you are not doing your job.
Thank you CDU, we don't need a 17 cent discount on gas for consumers for 2 months. We all know what will happen: the oil companies will raise the prices even more and will basically get at least half of that discount. Genius move.
We need an excess profit tax for parts of the economy. Now.
12. Consider a great many patently foolish and ludicrously risky things. I'm not saying DO them, because that would mostly be foolish, but CONSIDER them. Consider joining the SAS, being a supermodel, driving a formula-1 racing car, competing in the Isle of Mann TT, being a Michelin Star chef. Think through what it would take, would be like, and what it would likely cost in blood and money
Explore them, deeply feel them, and for the most part, thank fuck you won't ever do them. Learn about you
11. On the whole, women have had a raw deal for the entire history of the species, and the reason you aren't getting as much physical attention or getting a great job or a nice house is not their fault. Be nice to women without expecting to be compensated for it. They have more than enough shit on their plate, so be understanding and helpful, and try not to get in the way or make things worse for them
Make more women friends, you might be surpised at how nice that is
Also, women aren't a prize
10. You don’t have to "leave a mark", "go down in history", and you sure as shit won't "put a ding in the universe". Just be a person, live your life being as helpful as you can, and enjoy what you can of the journey. 100% of those remembered by history weren't much like the history, and everyone is much more Ozymandius than King Arthur
The universe is one fucking huge and weird place, and a million Steve Jobs holding hands in a chain would neither be noticeable to the universe, nor interesting
