and that's fine, tables and charts are dope. i'm into abstract representations of information, they keep my thoughts lined up.

only just occurs to me part of the mischaracterization of automated computers as approximations of human minds is a mischaracterization of the human mind as rational. that old fuckin holdover from the construction of white supremacy. glad kant is dead.

@JazzTheTroll o yeah, this one's far from neutral, and any instance of any society is gonna have a different bias than others (though i do note this one in particular is more destructive than any in the history of humanity), i mean to say the concept itself is neutral and not any instance thereof.
