“Psychopath” is a common derogatory term. And people with ASPD (*) can do a lot of damage. But what if you were born incapable of relating to others (=the foundation of our societies) and there is nothing you can do to change it?

Additionally it seems that the way our current systems are set up, they often put ASPD people in power.

Listening to German radio tonight and of course the hourly news mentions the Temu Tyrant south of the border.

I hope I live to see the day where I don't hear his name, regardless of which language radio I'm listening to, and when we can start to hopefully repair the damage done. We need to remove him completely from the conversation other than as a cautionary tale for future generations.

Here’s my edit of the Marisa Mayer quote. Bracketed words are mine.

“A lot of what excites me is taking something that used to [be meaningful because it would] take you hours or minutes, and now [stripping it of human connection and] getting it done in seconds,” Mayer told me at her company’s office in Palo Alto last month.

The thing is, all her examples aren’t things that are time consuming because they’re tedious and low-value. Her examples are time-consuming because they take thought and care. The 3 examples listed in the free chunk of the NYT article are:

  • writing 3 positive qualities about her own fucking daughter for a teacher
  • shopping for a pair of pants she took a photo of
  • choosing a gift for a picky spouse

I really have a hard time being sympathetic to someone who skips the hard work of 1 and 3 and reaches for AI.

You get good at what you practice. If you practice avoiding these things, you’ll get good at avoiding these things.
