You could blame the people responsible for that algorithm to be insensible or indifferent. But the real problem is the humankind. We're so dumb and ignorant that it really hurts. --- End quote --- The people responsible for the algorithm have no way of knowing a priori what people will search for and what suggestions will be provided and how they will offend somebody. For that reason, Google has been busy removing politically incorrect search results and suggestions more or less manually for over a decade. |

--- Quote from: cdev on April 30, 2022, 05:09:04 pm ---The world has lots of room for improvement. Its interesting how an investigation of the roots and roles of slavery has brought me in the last few weeks to more understanding of the history of the world. Particularly the Middile East. --- End quote --- The really sad thing about slavery is its still widespread today, yet few people give a damn about those still being oppressed in this way. |

We displace it kinda far away so that it's not directly visible, and we feel good. |

Well, it's like pollution. We displace it kinda far away so that it's not directly visible, and we feel good. --- End quote --- That is a very good way to put this. Because thats what awareness of the most common abuses often devolves into. Watching Mondo Africa the other day and its massacres of Omani Arabs in Zimbabwe, which I had been warned about by VS Naipaul's fiction book, A Bend in the River" still it made me think and want to know more.. Getting sick while poor? Slavery by race is now illegal Slavery in the United States is legal if somebody is duly convicted of a crime. Make America Great Again, means make America Profitable Again, to some people. Paying people to work back them was fairly progressive. It seems that some people feel thats all thats necessary now. Well, slavery is still common. And the existence of decent jobs is all thats standing against it. |
