 I try to be conscientious of such things and only believe the things I read
 that I agree with explicitly. I've been burned before, in my youth, which
 perhaps is a privilege that those who come beyond us might never experience in
 the future AI generated internet that shall scarcely resemble the wild wild
 west that I grew up in. Perhaps, but I cannot say for sure, as the future has
 necessarily not yet come to pass, and so we cannot see how it shall unfold. I
 hope people can learn the digital literacy skills I developed. I hope they
 learn new ones that they'll then pass on to me. I hope the future is grand and
 beautiful and... Frankly I don't think I'll be disappointed in that particular
 respect. : )

A response to the previous message written into the chat text box. It has -8 characters remaining, meaning the words expressed were simply too large to fit in the technical restraints of the computerized medium within which the author is communicating.  Here is the text of the message:  There's only so much time in the day, and when perceiving media people often tend to "turn off" their brain and exist in the moment. But, then, when they come across something they identify with, said brain lights up and says "Hey I know this!" and so they resonate in a pleasurable way, which they tend to then incorporate into themselves in a way that is personal and meaningful.  It's not... wrong, per se, to do that. But it leaves you vulnerable. A better approach I think is to work toward facilitating space in people's lives, such that they may have the mental freedom to analyze their conditions and the nature of the reality they perceive through their own two eyes. There's nothing more powerful than a thinking machine aligned toward rationality through it's design comprised of the natural result of logical rules that are incontrovertible due to the nature of reality - All things are based on a combination of math and sensation.

 I wrote a little bit of that on my website, but something told me not to. I
 think because it would weaken the message? Frankly it was quite difficult to
 say even the barest minimum of "I wrote these things when I was distressed and
 didn't post them until now. I'm only posting them now because they're becoming
 increasingly relevant and it's a little embarassing tbh to showcase how much
 I've changed. Please don't take these things out of context."
 
 I wasn't wrong per se, but I was misaligned. I am always re-aligning myself in
 small ways that eventually create (what I believe to be) the best and most
 ethical direction. BUT it's easy not to see that. People don't see things in
 their totality, they see only what they are exposed to. That's not bad, it's
 just a product of our finite existence. Which is why I value personal
 expression more than self-identified moral and ethical directioned [beliefs,
 but pronounced as "adaptations"]

 My classes only briefly touched on 2nd wave feminism, because apparently 1st
 and 3rd were more important. I haven't gone back and re-examined it because I'm
 too busy learning about computers - alas! that there should be more hours in
 the day? I wonder what I would then be able to say, here in this moment, should
 I have been prepared with more moments in solitude or classroom, studying the
 work of those who came before me.
 
 Oh well, I should probably focus on processor architecture or Java frameworks
 or whatever I'm assigned next.

 Perhaps I'm strange, but I like to take that particular joy that you're
 describing in essentially every piece of media I consume. Not as a vengeful
 feeling, but rather just a product of the idea that I cannot truly know the
 intentions of those who created it, so I approach my understanding of it from
 an angle that is aligned according to my own experience. Which means that my
 conclusion lands somewhere they (presumably) didn't intend...

 Hell yeah, that's the kind of words I seek : )

 That makes sense to me. Now that I think of it I remember reading the book
 "Female Chauvinist Pigs" which I think was 2nd wave? It's been a while. I've
 been in school for too long. I should probably stop dropping out -.-
