>you should probably leave your job or not take it in the first place sounds like a decadent rationalization of some kind.

>this must come as a huge transformative movement carried by many people I believe governmental and industrial interest will follow the example set by these "many people". How do t…

It's possible to walk a line that straddles both approaches.

imo personal responsibility and lifestyle adjustments are just the kind of grassroots behavior that could lead humanity out of this. why wait for the industrial/capital machine to …

One might argue that there is plenty of human feeling in this bot-art. After all, it's trained on art with human feelings. Seems like it might be a very effective way to propagate …
