For the sake of recognizing a hill I too would be proud to die on, and so you know there are others who feel the same: I agree with you.
I like to think the negative feedback you are receiving is due to the ambiguity, and so, the multitude of definitions for “intelligence” that each of us has.
I know I have met people who others have touted as “intelligent” that I thought were too deplorable to be given such an accolade.
I am with you, one of my measures of intelligence is how one recognizes the collective fate of all life.
Debating such a subject leaves me with too much ire to articulate sufficiently so I will lean on the eloquence of Martin Luther King Jr:
> Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.
And equally abhorrently, as the 13th amendment and now California can attest, to the incarcerated
> Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.
“Californians voted against outlawing slavery. Why did proposition 6 fail?”
Worth noting that it is way more horny than the anime
Also, love Kubricks adaptation of clockwork orange, but burgess hated it and caused him to hate his own original work later in life
He even made a play with him and Kubrick as characters to talk about how much he hated the whole experience
One major change was the ending, burgess’s original has 21 chapters, and in the 21st the main character rediscovers his humanity and seeks a life of creating art
Kubrick stops his adaptation at the conclusion of chapter 20
Hilariously, the publisher behind the first US print of A Clockwork Orange removed the 21st chapter to make the novel more controversial so it would sell more
If you read clockwork definitely make sure it is the full version with all 21 chapters!
Ghost in the Shell is one of the best sci-fi visual media
I always loved the look of this UI, but now that we have the same tech I am glad our UIs look the way they do, and shudder at the thought of using the GitS UI for any real map interactions
I’ve always had a distaste for Aristotle, preferring Plato, but after reading this I’m wondering if that stemmed more from the additional lens of the person introducing him to me.
