Hey Chaps

This is a true ramble at a wall by me. Enjoy almost completely incoherent solo chat about death threats, free will, and Artificial Intelligence.

Very good point Ms. F. It is very difficult to respond properly to such things. You are having the same thing right now Down Under re gay marriage. I don't mind abhorrent opinions. Because I feel the oxygen robs them of toxicity. They are shown up for the nonsense that they are. Katherine Ryan does a routine, sadly not on her Netflix special, where she shows some of her favourite Twitter abuse. I know other comics do similar, but she goes out of her way to show the most abusive ones she's received. And by doing so make them silly. I think people are odd at the best of times. But the absurdity and abuse I think needs to be shown.

Thanks Jeff! Privilege is a really interesting thing that I'm torn by. On one hand it's worth realistically noting and acknowledging the situations in which you're limited or assisted by the categories that affect you. On the other hand, I think it can be a cage for thought that leads us to to assume certain barriers or advantages will always be in place, and so thinking, reinforce them.

I'm a new listener brought over by your time at The Bugle. While I dearly love that kind of humor, yours go a bit deeper. I find it incredibly interesting to hear what you said about privilege. It's something we talk about in our mixed-race home often. You can respond to your heckler safely, and I as a middle-aged white man may navigate certain social situations very easily than my bi-racial kids.

It is a fascinating thing. I think the problem is when someone's opinions are abhorrent, we don't have a sense of what the appropriate punishment is. Because it's 'only' words, but it's part of a larger and more unpleasant landscape. There's a very deep sense in humans that an eye for an eye is probably about right, but because each expression of homophobia recalls the whole landscape, it's almost impossible to respond proportionately to a single instance without bringing your rage at the whole into play.

Oh, sorry ... one other point re: death threats. M'beloved Shappi Khorsandi has a fantastic routine about death threats. Her family fled Iran after the revolution. Her Father was, and may still be, on the death list. At one point Ms. K was sobbing to her Dad about some abuse she had received on Twitter. Her Father said, "Have you had 50,000 people chanting 'Death to Khorsandi!' in Tehran? No. People ask me 'How is Shappi? Has she received any death threats?' and I have to tell them no ..." All perspective I guess ...
