Grave peril of digital conspiracy theories

[Fred Bloggs]

A responsible government needs to enact legislation with serious criminal penalties for the promulgators of these things. Jack-ass site like zerohedge will be shut down in a minute.

"In another act of violence tied to QAnon, a California man was charged with using a speargun to kill his two children in 2021. He told an FBI agent that he had been enlightened by QAnon conspiracy theories and had become convinced that his wife “possessed serpent DNA and had passed it on to his children.”"

Then there's this most recent maniac, conspiracy driven:

There was at least one QAnon adherent posting on SED.

Let's repeal that pesky First Amendment. There is, of course, always
only one true Truth.

[Fred Bloggs]

The moron who was posting a video of a transformer explosion in Chile and claiming it was an American military death ray deliberately starting the Maui fire, should be imprisoned for 10 years minimum. It's the same as an idiot making the rounds in an institution for the criminally insane inciting the population to rise and kill the prison staff based on some crackpot conspiracy. That is a clear-cut case of criminal incitement to violence.

'The right to freedom of speech allows individuals to express themselves without government interference or regulation. The Supreme Court requires the government to provide substantial justification for interference with the right of free speech when it attempts to regulate the content of the speech.'

They have ample substantial justification in these cases. The authority to do so will probably invoke the ICC.

[Bill Sloman]

But the first amendment doesn't let you shout "fire" in a crowded
theatre. Posting dangerous lies needs to generate consequences severe
enough to discourage people from doing it again.

Your persistent enthusiasm for reposting climate change denial
propaganda hasn't so far generated enough painful consequence to
discourage you.

Six months of hard labour on climate science probably wouldn't work -
you are good at not seeing facts you don't want to see.

Indeed. There was only one Truth in the Soviet Union under Joseph
Stalin. Contradict him and you got sent to the gulags for 10 to 25
years. So yeah, we could have our very own Pravda newspaper and
nothing else allowed, just like they did in Russia. That seems to be
what Fred Bloggs is advocating here. Perhaps he'd be happier in Cuba
or China.

[Anthony William Sloman]

Senator Joseph McCarthy had similarly fixed ideas

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_McCarthy

He didn't send anybody to a gulag - America doesn't have them - but he got an number of people thrown out of their jobs and rendered unemployable for not being as anti-communist as he though that they ought to have been.

Donald Trump is similarly wedded to his own version of reality - he's unsympathetic to the idea hat he actually lost the 2020 presidential election.

The first amendment is about letting people say what they like. It doesn't protect you from the consequences of publishing dangerous or misleading lies.

If you make money out of them you can be jailed for fraud, unless the money was a donation to your political party.

Stalin wasn't sending people to the gulags for contradicting him. He was aware that his governance was a total failure. It was a succession of infamous 5-year plans that were all failures. He wasn't delivering on the promises of the revolution and he knew it. He also knew that quite a lot of people were getting fed up with him. That's when he started the purges and the rest is history. It was self-preservation.

It won't. Idiocy is a complex trait, and not easy to measure.

The various crude proxies for it - like scores on IQ tests and years in education - are slightly influenced by literally thousands of genes.

https://www.hoplofobia.info/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Robert-Plomin-Blueprint.pdf

Sterilising adult examples of idiocy wouldn't make the next generation appreciably less idiotic.

And we need idiots. How would we staff our personnel departments if we didn't have ready supply of them? Nobody who wasn't an idiot would take on the job.

We should really work on finding people who are excessively gullible, like John Larkin and Cursitor Doom, and protect them for the malicious propaganda to which they are so exceedingly vulnerable, but the people who make money out of generating malicious propaganda would complain that this was a restraint of trade.

The law can be written in such a way that idiocy is presumed on the basis of a long list of material acts, such as habitual posting of false and misleading conspiracies on social media, and mindlessly concurring with such.

That gets turned around on them. The Interstate Commerce Clause gives Congress authority to regulate transactions. And government owns the airwaves, and subsidizes communications infrastructure. So when the idiots act up, they will can be slapped.

[whit3rd]

The US constitution puts post offices (telecommunication nodes) and
post roads (telecommunication links) and navigable waterways under
federal control. That covers all of telecommunication as it was known
in the eighteenth century. But, except for hate speech and criminal
conspiracy, that doesn't regulate content effectively, because free speech
and press (again, telecommunication and local communication) are
protected.

So, if you want to be a responsible citizen, be sure to chastise abusers
without slandering them. "Liar, liar, pants on fire" works sometimes.
Don't expect the government to do this, it's YOUR responsibility
to protect the gullible when they can't protect themselves.

They're clearly brain damaged extremists and need to be in prison
before they can do something really dangerous.

People should be prosecuted for real crimes, damaging property or
hurting others, and not for having opinions.

What's weird is that anyone can deny absolute truths, like
conservation of energy or the irrationality of sqrt(2), and nobody
pays much attention. But to question something very uncertain, like
the effects of CO2 on climate or the effects of testosterone on
behavior, is considered to be a crime.

You are gullible enough to believe your own propaganda, which makes you a successful salesman. You are selling into a small market where there isn't a lot of competition.

If somebody with serious money was interested they'd hire better engineers and wipe you out, but small markets get the engineering they can afford.

Cambridge Instruments sold about ten electron beam microfabricators a year for more than a million dollars each, which was a small market, but that was piggy-backed on the electron microscope business which was rather larger, and quite competitive.

They type more than we did when we first got involved in electronics, and solder correspondingly less - you can run a Spice simulation a lot faster than you can solder the circuit together, but you still have to put together the occasional working prototype, if only to check that your simulation data is complete and sufficiently accurate, and that you had let the simulation run for long enough - not points where you have always been all that careful.

The exact effects of CO2 on climate may not be known with exquisite precision - greenhouse gases aren't the only participants - but we do know that more CO2 in the atmosphere leads to a higher average surface temperature for the planet as a whole.

Goofs like you who claim that modern atmospheric CO2 levels are all faked, are in fact guilty of criminal libel and really should be charged and convicted.
The fact that you are an obvious goof and nobody takes you seriously is all that saves your bacon.

Except that you are the liar here, and you clearly don't run any show, and while you get exposed as a liar at regular intervals, it doesn't worry you.

game by several orders of magnitude (which would be completely beyond
you).

I know some young things that have a zillion male and female friends,
live in a tiny apartment with roommates, are always out eating or
drinking, are constantly texting, and aren't very sexual in the

Maybe the semiconductor companies scoop up the best EE grads. They
design circuits, I guess you could say, but that's still mostly
typing. I bet they don't know how to use a wire bonder.

A different class of people are worker-guys, people who do physical
things.

Bebe: "A women needs three husbands: an accountant to handle the
paperwork, a gay guy to shop with, and a worker-guy to fix things"

Me: "Who do you sleep with?"

Bebe: "The worker guy of course!"

And she has one.

Looks like the big semi's are getting a lot of design work done overseas. Seems they all have a big research presence in Europe.

Even TI:

I enjoy the physical aspects of real electronic design. Dremeling,
soldering, drilling, milling, sawing, shearing, drawing, measuring,
whiteboarding, and probing. And blowing things up.

"Shop" should be a required EE course. When I was in high school, boys
took shop and girls took home ec.

I have this thought that 95% of what we see in this group is AI-
generated garbage just to keep us bickering pointlessly instead
of doing more important things. The highly stereotypical styles
of many "contributions" certainly point in that direction.

It's more or less what television used to be for. Panem et
circenses.

Let's just killfile them and get on with designing some world-
changing electronics.

I'm trying to decide if we should go into the business of making big,
kilowatt size, 3-phase AC power supplies and load banks. The stuff out
there is kind of a mess, but it would (literally) be a big lift to get
into that biz. We'd have to buy a building and a forklift.

We *are* soon to introduce two new world-changing product lines. I'll
post links here.

Damn, boy you ARE dense. Hate speech gets the credit for that old guy
in your town who got a hammer to his geriatric head, and you think
there shouldn't be any response? Every time I hear an 'abortion is murder' claim,
I cringe, knowing there'll be a bombing or shooting at a clinic.

Worse, there's nonhuman (AI, but also corporate and foreign government) propagandists
meddling with elections, that really ARE an assault on our Constitution.
There's a death toll on the record for the abuse of free speech called 'swatting',
and it's a bigger share of school violence than gunplay, <https://eschoolsafety.org/swatting>

The problem is networked anonymity and impersonation, which requires a
network-level treatment. Freedom of speech isn't the name of the problem under
discussion, rather "incitement to riot".

So much easier than calculating stuff and reading data sheets.

I find carpentry very satisfying, but it's not all that useful in putting electronics hardware together. I did get taught it at school, but I had to learn cooking on my own. Happily. I ran into "Mastering the Art of French Cooking" by Beck, Betholle and Julia Child very early in the process. I'm all for people learning skills that they find useful. John Larkin might learn to love transformers if he ever learned the details of how they worked.

You don't post "different opinions". You post false and deluded opinions. We aren't frightened of them - they too obviously ridiculous to delude anybody with a working brain.

We just dislike the waste of bandwidth. And - of course - your pretensions to knowing what you are talking about.

I speak for quite a few people, but only in the sense that their responses are tolerably predictable. Whit3rd does seem to share some of my opinions, but I've never had any private communication with him.

There's a whole spectrum of left-wing opinion. The main stream chucked out the communists in 1871 for being undemocratic and predicted - correctly - that their undemocratic ideas would lead to a worse despotism than the Czar's. From your astronomically distant far-right point of view you may not be able to distinguish subtle shades of left-wing opinion. but the difference between democratic socialism (my attitude) and authoritarian communism is pretty substantial.

Democratic socialism tolerates a whole range of opinion and and the governments that practice it are mostly multiparty coalitions, where the coalition partners change from election to election. They thrive on dissent. The UK and Australian single party governments have loads of dissent but it is all worked out in private between the factions in ruling party and tend to rip them apart. so they lose the next election.

The American Republican currently seem to be insisting that Donald Trump actually won the 2020 election and was cheated out of his victory by imagined electoral fraud. Trump doesn't like people to dissent from that lunatic proposition.

Putin doesn't seem to like free speech, and if you say things he doesn't like you tend to up with Novichok in your underpants. Donald Trump doesn't seem to have access to that kind of assassin.

I've got no objection to free speech, but I do object to lies and you do post a lot of them. Claiming that I'm a Communist is a pretty typical example.
Claiming that democratic socialists object to free speech is another.

You can say what you like., but you can get sued for criminal libel if you get it wrong. George Soros probably won't sue you - the damages he could collect would be limited by the damage you could inflect, and your credibility is no-existent.

I didn't say anything about his general reputation. My problem was with the particular smear you came up with, which was an entirely bizarre misrepresentation of a well known incident from his time as a 14-year-old in hiding from the Nazi's. He was still 14 when Hungary fell to the Russians on the 4th April 1945 - Germany had actually invaded Hungary on the 19th March 1944, so he had to hide for just over a year.

The peculiar mind here is yours, and it does seem to be obsessed with coming with utterly implausible smears.
