I guess you could say they...... Blacklisted him for using the phrase "censoring me"

I was being sincere. I just thought you were being uncharacteristically graceful about the whole thing. Kind of admired you for that in itself, and I don't think I was the only one regardless of how we felt about Tesseract. But if you're not the dev, then you're not the dev. My mistake.

The other person who replied to you is definitely being facetious though.

Out of curiosity I've wanted to chat you up about how you feel about it since after the incident with your app. It doesn't seem to have soured the experience for you?

These are good priorities. We fumbled her so badly

Nah, I'm saying people enforce rules like no phones on planes selectively based on their own personal biases. The biases that I personally witnessed weren't against non-whites. It was different intersections but yeah it was situations where clearly the person would have been permitted if they were say, more conventionally attractive or had a more normative voice. I personally would speculate it would happen more to non-whites but in the locations I tend to fly from they already know systems of authority will treat them unequally so they police their own behavior more strictly than other groups or what is generally expected.

I probably should fly more around Europe. I've heard there's biases there but I haven't spent enough time to see them play out firsthand.

Mm. No I get it. You just haven't seen how humans act when that environment is taken to situations on the farthest spectrum of conditions.

Or maybe I haven't seen places that do enforce the full letter of their rules act truly equitable to marginalized people without any bias. I'm kind of a jaded motherfucker and won't really accept the possibility unless I witness somebody in that kind of environment actually handle that responsibility ethically. We've been pretty unspecific about cultures and locations, could you recommend a place for me to examine so I could at least try to picture what this would even look like?

Well, I guess I envy your experience having never witnessed rules and laws being arbitrarily weaponized against people. It definitely does happen, you kind of just have to actually be examining it. Generally if you interrogate the keepers of such rules like policemen or customs staff, they will say the opposite of you. That they do enforce all rules impartially, or they would if they weren't restrained by zealous oversight.

Right but how does one differentiate between effective punishment and just targeting inconvenient people for perceived annoyance? I agree with you, but there's a very old trap in there too that I don't think any institutions or educated individuals have done well in navigating.

I was more looking at the spirit of what you were saying. Honestly because I have the same thoughts too, like "You wouldn't be acting like this if you realized the thin veneer of social conduct protecting you from me". I think that's why I wanted to say something, there seems to be a degree of complexity needed for how we handle crybullies or normal ones in society

Yeah THAT never gets misused against anyone.

They think wealth indicates better genetics and want to repopulate the earth with their spawn
