Dehumanizing me, Stephen Alfred Gutknecht, as a machine. How common a message on Lemmy and Reddit in 2025. Everyone you disagree with is a machine bot. [email protected] bullshit society.
Yha, everything you can't comprehend or grasp about context is "random". You sound like you need hard-core learning of media ecology. I teach it over on [email protected] community. I suggest you study and learn some humanism too.
What questions do you have that are asked in a detailed and specific way and not just a insult loaded question? I also have covered most of the questions, but people here are just wanting personalized conversations instead of actually reading the books and reference from other authors and teachers I keep citing.

"There is something wrong with our world, something fundamentally and basically wrong. I don't think we have to look too far to see that. I'm sure that most of you would agree with me in making that assertion. And when we stop to analyze the cause of our world's ills, many things come to mind. We begin to wonder if it is due to the fact that we don't know enough. But it can't be that. Because in terms of accumulated knowledge we know more today than men have known in any period of human history. We have the facts at our disposal. We know more about mathematics, about science, about social science, and philosophy than we've ever known in any period of the world's history. So it can't be because we don't know enough. And then we wonder if it is due to the fact that our scientific genius lags behind. That is, if we have not made enough progress scientifically. Well then, it can't be that. For our scientific progress over the past years has been amazing. Man through his scientific genius has been able to dwarf distance and place time in chains, so that today it's possible to eat breakfast in New York City and supper in London, England. Back in about 1753 it took a letter three days to go from New York City to Washington, and today you can go from here to China in less time than that. It can't be because man is stagnant in his scientific progress. Man's scientific genius has been amazing. I think we have to look much deeper than that if we are to find the real cause of man's problems and the real cause of the world's ills today. If we are to really find it I think we will have to look in the hearts and souls of men."
