FILM REVIEW: India the Worst country on Earth

anarchonomicon.com

4Chan's First Feature film is also the first Feature length AI Film.

The Conceit? Aside from a few Joke stills, none of the visual film is AI. It is a "Nature Documentary" Narrated by David Attenborough... It is also maybe the most disturbing film ever made, and possibly the most important/impactful film of the decades so far.

Reality is more terrifying than fiction.

Understandably, Christians are afraid to put themselves in the position of judging whether a fellow person could be subhuman.

I would argue that historically this is untrue in general. Europe between 1600 and 1800 was Christian to a degree which has been unmatched in the Western world since then. While I do not believe that European Colonialism and the slave trade was primarily a Christian undertaking, I also can't help but notice that most Christians of that time did not be afraid of judging their black contemporaries subhuman. (Of course, the abolition movement was also sparked by some radical Christians.)

I am not a Christian, but I think your interpretation of God genociding the 'subhumans' because they are evil and degenerate beyond redemption is shared by the major Christian flavors. I might not remember my gospels much, but I don't think that Jesus (who is kind of a big deal in Christianity, I hear) ever encouraged his followers to kill anyone.

Also, if your belief is that God did have a good reason to genocide peoples historically, does this extend to modern day "acts of God"? If earthquakes, tsunamis or diseases strike, do you shrug and say "looks like God decided to wipe a few millions subhumans from the face of the Earth again, good for him!"

Basic human rights for everyone human being born make for a great Schelling point. It is not perfect (Why don't three year olds get the right to self-determine how much candy they want to eat? What about rights for mammals who are smarter than toddlers?) but empirically the people who deny these rights tend to end up as rightfully reviled.

I think you missed "not" here

What is this place?

This website is a place for people who want to move past shady thinking and test their ideas in a court of people who don't all share the same biases. Our goal is to optimize for light, not heat; this is a group effort, and all commentators are asked to do their part.

The weekly Culture War threads host the most controversial topics and are the most visible aspect of The Motte. However, many other topics are appropriate here. We encourage people to post anything related to science, politics, or philosophy; if in doubt, post!

Check out The Vault for an archive of old quality posts. You are encouraged to crosspost these elsewhere.


Why are you called The Motte?

A motte is a stone keep on a raised earthwork common in early medieval fortifications. More pertinently, it's an element in a rhetorical move called a "Motte-and-Bailey", originally identified by philosopher Nicholas Shackel. It describes the tendency in discourse for people to move from a controversial but high value claim to a defensible but less exciting one upon any resistance to the former. He likens this to the medieval fortification, where a desirable land (the bailey) is abandoned when in danger for the more easily defended motte. In Shackel's words, "The Motte represents the defensible but undesired propositions to which one retreats when hard pressed."

On The Motte, always attempt to remain inside your defensible territory, even if you are not being pressed.


New post guidelines

If you're posting something that isn't related to the culture war, we encourage you to post a thread for it. A submission statement is highly appreciated, but isn't necessary for text posts or links to largely-text posts such as blogs or news articles; if we're unsure of the value of your post, we might remove it until you add a submission statement. A submission statement is required for non-text sources (videos, podcasts, images).

Culture war posts go in the culture war thread; all links must either include a submission statement or significant commentary. Bare links without those will be removed.

If in doubt, please post it!
