smartphone = surveillance phone smart glasses = pervert glasses smart home = designer prison smart watch = tracker for insurance company home assistant = epstein in your kids room AI = ecocide machine used to unlearn thinking and creativity We keep calling absolute bullshit "smart" or "intelligent", yet we still think we can judge people and other liveforms by their intelligence. Meanwhile intelligence is defined as "what the IQ test measures", a test that measures your exploitability and value for capitalism/fascism. It says nothing about social intelligence, creativity and critical thinking. #intelligenceism #intelligence #smart

@PaulaToThePeople@climatejustice.social Even by defining intelligence as "what the IQ test measures" the testers still can't get a meaningful result - since none of them has ever come up with a test that people don't get better at with practice. The problem ultimately lies, I suspect, in a misconception of individuality whose development, like the Newtonian clockwork universe, parallels the development of capitalism - and like Newtonian physics needs replacing with a much more interactive, fluid, uncertain and ecological understanding of what people really are.

@PaulaToThePeople@climatejustice.social I get free Smart Scale offer emails from my health insurance company. At least it wouldn't potentially follow one from room to room like a robot vacuum.
