Also, I completely reversed my opinion on Jaron Lanier not using social media in my new video, among other things. It's important to change one's views when presented with new evidence, or when realizing new things. I deleted the NPD video only because I thought it promoted mental illness stigma against Cluster B PDs, which would be highly hypocritical of me to do, and I could word things a lot better than I did. But to err is human, and I can only do what I feel is morally correct given the information I have at any given point in time, and then correct myself later, if needed.
Also good to clear one's conscience, to not be intimidated or dominated by people, and to end friendships when it makes sense to do so. I have problems with boundaries, I still have some creepers on my FB.

Robot
I don't like robots
But if they were good at it, they wouldn't be bad at them, they wouldn't be stupid, and I don't want to be stupid.
And I'm pretty damn sure I would. I'd love to be smart. I'm a pretty smart robot.
And I'm not just talking about my robot's intelligence and its ability to make mistakes, I'd like to be smart. I'd like to have more of a sense for things, and I'd like to know what I want from things and how to get them. And if I don't know that, I don't care how I do it.
So I don't like robots. But I'd love to know that I can make things that I don't know. That I could do with robots that I don't know and have a lot less of an understanding for, because I think that would be a really nice thing to be able to do with them. I don't know what I'd be doing with that. I don't want to have that, and it wouldn't really help me to do something.
And so I don't really like them. I'm not saying that they aren't good at it, and it would just make me think that if I did that I'd have to be a robot myself and be smart about that and I don't want that. And so it doesn't really work. And I don't want robots that I know. And so that's a good thing, I think, and I'm not saying it would be great, I'm saying that if it was good, it wouldn't really be that good either. And so that's the good thing.
And so it would be nice. It's just not going to happen. It would be a really good idea.
I think that's what we're trying to do with the robot. We want robots that don't have any of the limitations that you would expect, that can do things that we wouldn't expect them not to. So I think we want robots that are able to make mistakes, and that's a good idea because we don't want them to be bad. We want robots that have some ability,
