  • If anything, your position is in opposition to nihilism.

    There are different kinds of nihilism. Your position is in contradiction with the “purest” form. The absence of an objective value in anything and everything. Your position clearly values personal consent.

    There are other kind of nihilism, like political nihilism, might not be in conflict with your position. On the other hand, existential nihilism, the belief that there is no inherent meaning/value in life, might seem to align with your position but I think it is difficult to argue in favor of consent, even to being alive, while believing that life is inherently meaningless. I mean, why does the consent of a meaningless being matter to anyone? Of course, you could take an adsurdism position to it but then I would argue that calling you nihilistic would be a mischaracterization.





  • The whole argumentation fails apart if you ask yourself a simple question, is the meme transformative to the art that it is using. As you already stated, “in a way the creator never foresaw” highly implies a transformative nature.

    But isn’t ai art transformative? Oh it might be. But well, the company making the ai, stole art to create the model. There is no transformative step between the art piece and the version of the art piece that they use to train the ai. It is stolen art but not because the model steals, but because the model is built on stolen art. Everything that an ai model can produce is based in stolen art. So any similarities are not a little reference to some other art piece but stolen art. As the whole model is based on similarities, it produces exclusively content that has similarities to that stolen art. And if everything is a reference to stolen art, the ai art become effectively stolen art.

    But what about people and their faces? Yeah i don’t think you should use/make those memes, unless the people are public figures. But not because it is stolen art, as the memes tend to be transformative, but because everyone has a right to privacy.










  • He was young.

    Being young, is nice. Mostly because you don’t have to deal with a lot of the issues that e.g. a house, children and maybe the marriage is not as loving as it used to be.

    So he misses being young, but instead of realizing that he was just young. He thinks about what was different and as your responses imply, he blames foreigner for the change. As you expressed that he thinks of you as just a girl, he is probably also sexist and the 50s were much more sexist as it still is.

    In other words, culture changed, he didn’t and he is old.


  • It is actually worse.

    it is known that areas which got access to a formal education (schools), would get quickly much better average IQ score than before.

    If just visiting school increases your IQ (some measurements suggest 14 points), then it is clearly not a fundamentale quality.

    So even without specifically learning for the test, you can learn for the test.





  • You should probably think about why that question matters for you. it is important for you to process whatever you need to. For example, it might be the case that separating your friends actions and intentions from your experience is helpful to you. It might be reasonable to say he didn’t intend to and the actions weren’t but your experience was. We experience what we believe and not “reality” and so if you believed it do be sa then you experience what you experienced. I don’t know what you actually experienced, so please don’t just take this. think about why you care and if you have the answer.
