Think, the multidimensional intersections of things like science, tech, psychology, sociology, language, the practice of philosophy, etc. No expertise, here. Just a curious mind that thrives on wrestling with the complex whys, because anything else isn"t nearly as fun. If this sounds interesting, welcome! Hear something you"d like to chat

I think I've taken some external ideas, but I've rewritten those stories and then interlaced and interwoven them with myself. As in the labels are descriptors, but they're not definitive. Hmm. Maybe that's why I am not a fan of labels. Because when other people use them, they use them definitively and try to use broad strokes to understand me. To like use something completely innocuous."

You now give AI and depending on how someone approaches this tool, if they are using it from a mentality of democratizing access, rather than using it to hone their thinking, hone their ability to create, even their emotional intelligence, there's going to end up being those who. There's apparently a new term now called Vibe coding. And basically you just tell the AI I want you to create this

And I don't know how to do that in these particular contexts because it's not a script I have heard or seen enough to be able to pick up on my own of, I'm sorry you're feeling that way."

So there's a need for identity, there's a Need for belonging and constructs of what manhood are. And this phrase in particular, help to create the in group, help to create the identity."

We are not a monolith. But knowledge is power. And anything I can do to help facilitate empowering you with knowledge, I would love to do so. Please, if you have questions, please feel free to ask."

De-pedestalizing cognitive empathy.

Click here to reply to @SeekingPlumb "And what was really interesting is I actually saw someone post about this on threads. They had asked or talked to a friend, talked to a therapist, and talked to ChatGPT about whatever was going on in their lives. The most empathetic response they received was from AI, not a human. And this is interesting on multiple levels, right? Because AI can be very agreeable with us, which drives me nuts, by the way, when I'm using it myself."

They made this narrative of who was going to go, but then whoever they got to do the suits decided it was important to make the suits flattering and sexy. These are two words you never heard when they're designing suits for men to go to space or to do anything, really. So not only is it infantilizing that women

Click here to reply to @SeekingPlumb "For example, collaborative storytelling, rotating of jobs I've been thinking about. But although I haven't put anything out there yet around, we see so much focus on being independent, don't be codependent. But not hardly anything about interdependence and wanting to dig into that anyway and the complex systems and what would be required to do this and. And scaling and everything else."

Click here to reply to @SeekingPlumb "How do we create something that fulfills, and this is a huge and maybe impossible ask, but fulfills the need and desire for status and reputation, something that can replace hierarchies and it may not end up being a thing to replace it, but more like an off ramp to just a different way of thinking. Just seeing that we, each one of us are worthy of existing, of taking up space, of having our voices heard."

Click here to reply to @SeekingPlumb "You're choosing to communicate something to somebody else. You want that action, that expression to influence them if they're not influenced by it. That is inhuman. To teach young children, for example, to lean into this concept is to minimize part of their humanity, to elevate a part of their humanity, and also to compartmentalize and distance them from other humans."

That's a difficult conversation. And like this is just me and my thoughts and my experiences. And I only have, what, limited feedback some guys will talk with me about. Other times there's a lot of silence because they want to let us women talk about these things."

And I feel like that's, that's the bottom line of where I come to with this is that going forward with AI, I need to be even more thoughtful and intentional than I am say for using Google or something like that.

I think what the tricky thing is though, is that in order to create a strategic plan that is effective in creating, but also in anticipating of how things can go wrong, that is important that you maintain the foundations of democracy, of government. You may have to create new ways of doing democracy and government, but it has to be done legally and within some of the structures that already exist."

You can't know necessarily. Like I'm trying to buy into his belief, I'm trying to understand it. Right, but the question is why you chose to be a woman. Why? Right.

Some of it, I think, has happened organically, but some of it's been nudged and manipulated to become so reductive and binary in our ways of thinking and then to weaponize that, right?

Because it's so easy to just point at one another than it is to say, let's zoom out a little bit, right? What's really going on?"
