i am sympathetic to computers as an extension of digital colonialism. but i feel though they exist in the same authoritarian setting, there is more room to use them in less extractive ways. that being said they've been created by and used in the same systems, so there is no way to separate them from it

i'm increasingly opposed to the cult of rationality/scientism. how many use stats to discuss behavior is very dehumanizing imo. absolutely ignores individual autonomy
