I'm going to try to do this cleanly. Today's right wing governments are networked to each other. Those networks are well-documented. You can read about them in books. Following the elections in one node of that network is good practice for understanding the U.S. node.

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people.

I'm glad more people are openly posting this because it's so often presented as the opposite. Those who push back against "human = machine" are called dualists, Christians (as an insult), and worse in some weird "no you" attempt. It's not just here, I've seen it at conferences from philosophers!

Romain Brette@romainbrette.bsky.social

Something odd happens if you argue that the concept of machine is not well fit to describe living systems. Often, the response is not just that it's wrong: it's heretic (vitalism!). What this says is that the machine view of life is more a modern crypto-Christian belief than a scientific theory.
