Our society's growing reliance on computer systems that were initially intended to "help" people make analyses and decisions, but which have long since both surpassed the understanding of their users and become indispensable to them, is a very serious development. It has two important consequences. First, decisions are made with the aid of, and sometimes entirely by, computers whose programs no one any longer knows explicitly or understands. Hence no one can know the criteria or the rules on which such decisions are based. Second, the systems of rules and criteria that are embodied in such computer systems become immune to change, because, in the absence of a detailed understanding of the inner workings of a computer system, any substantial modification of it is very likely to render the whole system inoperative and possibly unrestorable. Such computer systems can therefore only grow. And their growth and the increasing reliance placed on them is accompanied by an increasing legitimation of their "knowledge base." […] One would expect that large numbers of individuals, living in a society in which anonymous, hence irresponsible, forces formulate the large questions of the day and circumscribe the range of possible answers, would experience a kind of impotence and fall victim to a mindless rage. And surely we see that expectation fulfilled all around us, on university campuses and in factones, in homes and offices. Its manifestations are workers' sabotage of the products of their labor, unrest and aimlessness among students, street crime, escape into drug-induced dream worlds, and so on. Yet an alternative response is also very pervasive; as seen from one perspective, it appears to be resignation, but from another perspective it is what Erich Fromm long ago called "escape from freedom." The "good German" in Hitler's time could sleep more soundly because he "didn't know" about Dachau. He didn't know, he told us later, because the highly organized Nazi system kept him from knowing. (Curiously, though, I, as an adolescent in that same Germany, knew about Dachau. I thought I had reason to fear it.) Of course, the real reason the good German didn't know is that he never felt it to be his responsibility to ask what had happened to his Jewish neighbor whose apartment suddenly became available. The university professor whose dream of being promoted to the status of Ordinarius was suddenly fulfilled didn't ask how his precious chair had suddenly become vacant. Finally, all Germans became victims of what had befallen them. Today even the most highly placed managers represent themselves as innocent victims of a technology for which they accept no responsibility and which they do not even pretend to understand (One must wonder, though, why it never occurred to Admiral Moorer to ask what effect the millions of tons of bombs the computer said were being dropped on Viet Nam were having.) The American Secretary of State, Dr. Henry Kissinger, while explaining that he could hardly have known of the "White House horrors" revealed by the Watergate investigation, mourned over "the awfulness of events and the tragedy that has befallen so many people."
-- Joseph Weizenbaum, Computer Power and Human Reason (1976)
what do you mean by indentities?
i've always wanted the option to change this account to be my second account or at least let me have the option to put a password on my main.
i want to start over without starting over completely, without losing my content entirely or my followers.
Identities is a proposed project to make tumblr blogs more distinctly functional on a per account basis! This post by @cyle explains more: https://cyle.tumblr.com/post/678093456636280832/yo-whats-identities
hey, i know you said Identities was on the backburner but I'd just like to voice that I think it would get a lot more use than you might think. I'm currently in the unfortunate position where my side blog has really become my main blog and I feel really unable to interact with communities I want to interact with because people don't know who I am when I like their posts or send them asks or try to join a Community. it is super isolating and makes me feel like i need to make a new account but I don't want to lose my blogs and start fresh. please prioritize Identities in 2025!!
Answer: Hey, @turnpiked!
So we can say that this would be very nice. No, let’s not put it mildly: we would love this!
As things stand it is not an immediate priority with our team occupied with several major, long-term projects. However, there is a lot of enthusiasm for this across the Tumblr team and we hope to get back to it before too long.
Have a great day, and keep the questions coming, folks.
thanks for answering ! i'm glad staff are enthusiastic about it. if anyone else reading this wants Tumblr Identities too, please reblog/like/comment ❤️
This was my contribution to Valentine’s Day; i.e. threw together in InDesign at 1AM because I didn’t want to do schoolwork. They are Antarctic explorers saying relevant things. I felt the need to share my nerd with everyone.
bringing these back, happy valentine's day
It's a five-year cultural snapshot of what we did in this country when we thought things had a chance of getting better instead of getting worse. We were betrayed by those in power, repeatedly and with great prejudice. The future horrors will require different storytelling.
Zoë Hayden on 9-1-1's finale and the American interregnum
im obsessed with 9-1-1 and 9-1-1 lone star as like a concept so i wrote a thing (also @computerwives is a blog my friends and i are using if you want to check it out) (@hana was nice enough to excerpt this bit for me!)
If nothing else, I think the franchise illustrates just how far the United States of America could go as a cohesive cultural project. It illustrates the limits of liberalism as a politic. It illustrates, really, what we can do without structural intervention. We can create beauty without having the ability to protect it. We can live authentically without any guarantee of safety. We can love each other without knowing whether that will ever matter. And, as I stare down the barrel of a cornucopia of real-world disasters that have unfolded throughout my adult life and will continue to unfold until the bitter end, I'm glad that 9-1-1 has been part of it. It re-framed my understanding of this place I live in, which may never be a place again.

just putting this at the top of my blog again since i accidentally reblogged something here that i didn’t mean to, not that i expect a lot of people are visiting my blog or anything
pandemic is weird and has definitely impacted my hobbies (photography) but also helped me adopt other hobbies (baking)
