The games clearly weren't thrilling enough. 10:23 <@Corydon76> The games need to be more realistic, more immersive, more violent, in order to prevent the next shooting. 10:24 <@Evilpig> or just get back to teaching kids about gun safety and respect for their fellow humans in the lower schools again 10:28 < xray> I think the mass shootings are evidence an existential sickness in our society that can not be attributed to any one cause. It is the culmination of various issues coming into resonance. 10:28 < xray> Games are not the problem 10:29 < xray> What I find most interesting is that we are not allowed to discuss the issue as that is not PC 10:30 <@Corydon76> Sure we are. 10:30 < xray> And would trigger people and send them foaming at the mouth to their safe places 10:31 <@Corydon76> Yeah, well, if they want to duck out of the conversation, that is their right. 10:31 < xray> I can tell you with utter certainty that discussing this at work will get you fired. 10:31 <@Corydon76> Free speech and public discourse does not require everybody to listen 10:32 < xray> I agree but that is far from the truth today in the American public 10:32 <@Corydon76> Is that because it's not PC, or is that because discussions that have nothing to do with your job description distract you from doing the things that make your employer money? 10:32 < xray> I don't agree with that 10:32 < xray> It is because of the PC jihad 10:33 <@Corydon76> LOL. The big boss here says lots of inflammatory stuff to end the conversation and get us back to work 10:34 < xray> I don't go to work to discuss this stuff. 10:34 < xray> I'm their to work. 10:34 <@Corydon76> Precisely 10:34 < xray> It is HR at work that is being forced by management to bring it up. 10:34 < xray> Well one side of it anyway 10:34 <@shapr> xray: that's a sensible and balanced viewpoint 10:35 < aestetix> fwiw 10:35 < aestetix> the exact same discussion (about PC) is happening in another unrelated channel I'm in 10:35 < xray> Which means that a significant player in most peoples social group is getting information in only one direction 10:36 < aestetix> and not the good PC, which has a powerful graphics card ;) 10:36 < xray> LoL 10:36 <@Corydon76> How does this have to do with the mass shooting, again? 10:37 < xray> Guns do not kill people, people kill people with guns. Or rental trucks, or bombs, or homemade sarin gas. 10:37 <@Corydon76> "People are briefly annoyed once a year at required HR sessions, and this makes them go off the deep end"? 10:37 < xray> So if it isn't the weapon that is the problem, then what is causing people to believe that mass killings are the solution 10:38 <@Evilpig> once a year? that shit hits multiple times a year here 10:38 < xray> and then what is the problem they are trying to solve. 10:38 <@Evilpig> I think HR is working toward having a standing monthly meeting at this point 10:38 < xray> none of this happens in a vacuum 10:38 <@Corydon76> Because they're at the end of their rope with stress 10:38 <@shapr> from what I saw in te non-profit world, affordable health care is a huge help to people with mental illness issues 10:38 <@shapr> Corydon76: yeah 10:38 <@Corydon76> Evilpig: For us, it's less than once a year 10:39 <@Corydon76> I see the required training at the time of hiring, and then never afterwards. I've been at this company for 5 years. 10:39 < xray> every thing is on a bell curve 10:40 < xray> which is shifting by the day toward what? 10:40 <@Corydon76> The big boss here regularly shows up to NPR pledge drives and talk with the hosts. 10:40 < xray> There is a big difference between training and knowlege 10:40 <@Corydon76> So I'd say my workplace is pretty liberal, and we don't see this 10:40 < xray> Our society hinges on the Greek philosophy of knowledge 10:42 < xray> Just got an IRS fraud spam call that was an automated voice. How charming 10:42 < xray> If you can recite back the facts then you KNOW and training has been successful. 10:43 < xray> Where as the Hebrew philosophy of knowledge is that you don't REALLY KNOW something if it doesn't change your behavior. 10:44 < xray> As an example. People take a defensive driving class as part of a DUI ticket, pass all the tests. 10:44 < xray> Then get another DUI (this is greek) 10:45 <@Corydon76> Y'know, instead of typing out your manifesto, here, you might try getting it published. I hear Ted Kaczynski was successful in getting his published in the New York Times. 10:45 <@Evilpig> xray: you better watch out, they've put out a warrant for your arrest! 10:45 < xray> A person takes the class and never drinks again and gets behind the wheel (even for one drink) this is Hebgrew Knowledge 10:45 < xray> good luck with that 10:47 < xray> Our society is based on the Greek Philosophy of knowledge so training is rarely effective because that is actually not what is accepted or valued in our society. 10:49 < xray> I understand that my arguments are based on broad oversimplification of the issues but there is a limit in this form of communication on just how deep one can dig into it. 10:50 < xray> So back to the PC thing 10:50 < xray> Everybody agrees that the shootings are bad 10:50 < xray> what they do not agree on is what factors culminate in a shooting 10:51 < xray> and many of the issue that would need to be laid bare are PC issues we can no longer discuss openly. 10:52 < xray> Which effectively leads to self fulfilling prophecy. 10:52 <@Corydon76> You keep saying that nobody is letting you discuss it, but you seem to be the only one restrained. 10:53 < xray> I can say it here but say this in the public square and get death threats and fired. 10:54 <@Corydon76> Unless your view is that completely unrelated things are at fault, so you can go off on a racist, homophobic, xenophobic, sexist rant, I don't see the restraint. 10:54 < xray> You can say anything you want as long as your message agrees with the PC police. 10:54 <@Corydon76> You can say anything you want, as long as you back up your viewpoint with clear evidence. 10:54 < xray> Corydon76: It appears I have triggered you. Which kind of proves my point. 10:54 <@Corydon76> The problem is that so many people don't want to do that. They just want to rant. 10:55 <@Corydon76> Ah, I see. You're annoyed that you can't go off on an unhinged rant, so therefore *I'm* the one who is triggered. 10:56 <@Corydon76> Back up your arguments with proof. That's all I've said. 10:56 < xray> I also believe that this really isn't medium to discuss these kinds of things. But I'm in a Wind Mill attacking sort of mood. 10:57 < xray> Would love to discuss this in depth with you but this method co communication doesn't really work for changing minds. 10:57 < xray> It really takes a person touch. 10:57 < xray> Meaning face to face. 10:57 <@Corydon76> That doesn't change minds, either. Your best bet is publication. 10:58 <@Corydon76> Not surprisingly, this is the way that the scientific world works. You present your data, you make your argument, you show your conclusions. Then you let others critique or confirm your results. 10:59 < xray> You may not be aware that your response is based in a philosophical system that doesn't get real results. 10:59 < xray> Not all things can be proved with science. 10:59 <@Corydon76> Oh, but it does. As I said, that is the way the scientific community works. 10:59 < xray> We accept evidence all the time that can not be proved with scieence 11:00 <@Corydon76> Yes, I'm aware that things that aren't true cannot be proved with science. That's what makes the scientific method so wonderful as a way of furthering knowledge. 11:01 < xray> So to say that the only evidence that will be accepted is that which falls into the very narrow confines of experimental science is disingenuous at best and destructive at worst. 11:01 <@Corydon76> Really? Are you willing to show data and make an argument? 11:02 < xray> Here? Not reallt. 11:02 < xray> really 11:02 <@Corydon76> And then are you willing to let others collect data and either confirm or critique your argument? 11:02 -!- K`Tetch_ [~no@24-178-141-147.dhcp.thtn.ga.charter.com] has joined #se2600 11:02 <@Corydon76> Hey, look, it's the scientific method! 11:03 < xray> I guess I was just triggered by the myopic reaction that violent video games was the "true cause 11:03 < xray> of the mass shootings. 11:03 <@Corydon76> I would tend to agree that video games are unlikely to be the root cause, but a convenient scapegoat 11:04 -!- K`Tetch [~no@unaffiliated/ktetch] has quit [Ping timeout: 265 seconds] 11:04 < xray> Corydon76: Have you ever worked as a scientist or engineer doing fundamental research? 11:04 <@Corydon76> Given that I'm a programmer, no. 11:04 <@Corydon76> It is not my bailiwick 11:06 < xray> Yet you use science as your philosophical shield without having actually used it and understanding it's limitations 11:06 <@Corydon76> I have however, done non-fundamental research, in order to discover a better algorithm for a particular task (in specific, unpredictable, non-repeating integers) 11:07 < xray> This makes me sad that I couldn't make it to PhreakNic so we could meet in person 11:07 <@Corydon76> There's always next PhreakNIC 11:07 < xray> Assuming I live that long. There is a significant chance I may not 11:08 < xray> I recovering now which is why I have time to write this and it takes my mind off my current situation. 11:08 <@Corydon76> There's a chance I might not, either. This is Tennessee, after all, and we do get tornados. And there are car accidents. And dozens of other ways to die. 11:08 < xray> So you have cancer too? 11:09 <@Corydon76> Not to my knowledge 11:09 < xray> That is an odd coincidence? 11:09 < xray> Had surgery a week ago and will start chemo in a month. 11:10 < xray> I'm hoping the pathology report from surgery comes back negative. 11:10 <@Corydon76> I hear cannabis helps with nausea from the chemo 11:11 < xray> I've hear that too. 11:11 <@Corydon76> It's too bad that Tennessee won't permit compassionate use exceptions. 11:15 < xray> It is interesting that the original crack down on pot in the U.S. reads like a conspiracy theory. 11:15 <@Corydon76> Which one? The one in the 30s or the one in the 70s? 11:16 < xray> One issue with it today is that it is really problematic to prove you're pot impaired while driving 11:16 < xray> That is big problem that may be solvable with some engineering and science 11:16 < xray> Both actuallly 11:17 <@Corydon76> With the one in the 70s, we have a high government official (at the time) who admitted that they knew cannabis was not dangerous, but cracked down on it to further political aims. 11:17 <@Dagmar> That would be because people *do* get impaired on pot 11:17 < xray> And just for the record I'm about as opposite as you can be to a conspiracy theorist 11:17 < xray> Dagmar: agreed 11:18 < xray> but we don't have near as much research into that as we do into alcohol. 11:19 < xray> I wish it was as cut and dried as that but the issue is way more complicated.
