undifferentiated hatred
Classical Values | Everybody needs to hate somebody
It's tough for me to hate myself when I didn't do anything wrong.
![]() | But computers have a way of making trouble for humans by not talking to each other properly, then later imputing their misconduct to humans who had nothing to do with them, so that all you need to do is have a social security number, and VIOLA! You can be in a lot of trouble for the crime of not knowing what it was not possible to know. |
One of the dumbest mistakes I ever made was "moving" (only temporarily and because I had to, not because I wanted to) from California to the East Coast. This caused taxing authorities there to impute income to me that I never had, but because I wasn't there to open the mail, the imputed income morphed into real income because of the simple passage of time. (Nor did calling myself "bicoastal" help.)
Not knowing what computers are doing can get you in big trouble.
AFTERTHOUGT: It occurs to me that I forgot to mention the issue of fairness.
Silly me.
Can there be such a thing as "undifferentiated hatred"? I can think of few things more irrational, but then, nothing about is rational about being blamed for the mistakes of machines.
