Might be controversial but: the whole Israel/Gaza stuff.
I don’t know much about it. It seems super complicated and controversial. I even realize that it’s controversial not to have an opinion on this topic!
But I really can’t get myself to have an opinion on something that I am clearly no expert in, something that frequently seems to lead people into arguments with others and something that, sorry to say, really doesn’t affect me at all in my life. There are wars all over the world, dunno why this one is the one people have such strong opinion about.
Honestly I would rather say “I don’t know” than adopt some random opinion from some AI bot. And I think you should prefer people saying “I don’t know” rather than just following what the AI bots are saying. Do you really want AI bots to decide this stuff?
Is it just that you only care when it starts happening to you? Or is it just that since you do not know yet, you simply cannot know or care? Why not just shock your brain to forget everything that bothers you, you’ll be so happy!
Is it just that you only care when it starts happening to you?
not really. there are things that affect me and i care about, things that affect me and i don’t care about, things that don’t affect me that i care about and things that don’t affect be that i don’t care about. so there are things on all 4 possible categories, and this particular subject simply falls in the last one
Or is it just that since you do not know yet, you simply cannot know or care?
well i already know there is a war between israel and palestine and people are getting bombed. yet it doesn’t really occupy that much space in my mind, and i’m indifferent towards that, there are enough things to care about besides that
Why not just shock your brain to forget everything that bothers you
well i just don’t want to do that. i am ok with caring about the things that bother me
Yes, there is a long and complicated history, but it is irrelevant in the face of a very active ongoing genocide. I accept that you could somehow not be exposed to enough information to be able to see that, but it is still shocking not to be able to form an opinion on ethnic cleansing and genocide. I suppose it is the product of propaganda and the culture war.

Pretty easy to motivate your own learning:
That makes you objectivly a pretty terrible human.
there are other things that make me a pretty good human. i can live with all aspects of myself
Why don’t you ask your favorite AI to tell you what to think then?

whoooosh
it was sarcasm. TBF it wasn’t obvious, I wish we lived in a world when it still was.
because i can think for myself when it comes to things i care about
I want you to repeat that to yourself, slowly.

yeah besides a “it would be nice if there was peace” i can’t say i care about it to the point of spending the time to form an informed opinion
