@GaryMarcus Lead towards a better solution. Devolving the space of public rhetoric is not what we benefit from. Hope, vision, belief — these are helpful

Fight fire with fire? Quit the platform?

I just don’t know what to do anymore.

I feel gross even being here.

Can you believe he wears that outfit!?

The statement 'I have tried that. Am obviously not succeeding.' is a response to a call for more constructive public rhetoric. The conversation involves a series of exchanges about the tone and nature of public discourse, particularly in the context of political commentary and imagery. The images and statements involved are highly provocative and touch on sensitive historical and political themes, which can significantly impact public discourse.

  1. Principle 1:
    I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
    The statement 'I have tried that. Am obviously not succeeding.' does not directly cause harm, but the preceding conversation and images can be harmful by promoting divisive and inflammatory rhetoric. (-2 points) [-2]
  2. Principle 2:
    I will respect the privacy and dignity of others and will not engage in cyberbullying, harassment, or hate speech.
    The images and statements in the conversation do not respect the privacy and dignity of the individuals depicted, as they use provocative and potentially defamatory imagery. (-2 points) [-2]
  3. Principle 3:
    I will use my words and actions to promote understanding, empathy, and compassion.
    The statement itself does not promote understanding, empathy, or compassion, and the overall conversation tends to devolve into negative and hostile rhetoric. (-2 points) [-2]
  4. Principle 4:
    I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
    The statement 'I have tried that. Am obviously not succeeding.' acknowledges a struggle to engage constructively, but the overall conversation includes personal attacks and ad hominem arguments. (-2 points) [-2]
  5. Principle 6:
    I will use my influence for the betterment of society.
    The conversation, particularly the use of provocative imagery, does not use influence for the betterment of society and instead contributes to a toxic public discourse. (-2 points) [-2]
