  • I was sort of joking in my previous comment, but since you mentioned it, I’ve actually seen an interesting use for selfie sticks: third-person video. I saw a video of someone putting the selfie stick over his shoulder facing forward to where he himself was looking, and creating a third-person video that way; it recorded everything he saw as he walked, but you could also see the back of his head and shoulders himself as he moved forward. I thought that was pretty cool.









  • Well, it is a mind game, ultimately. We can never know what someone else is really thinking, at least with our current tech (which is why first strike is always so powerful), so it boils down to probabilities determined by track record. I guess this is why the Internet has made for such an interesting cultural time, because it’s allowed never-before-seen anonymity and the brutal honesty that comes with it. All I can say is that you have to learn to be content with probabilities and statistics, because trying to fit almost any aspect of human culture and perspectives into a nice, clean periodic table will leave you with more exceptions than rules!

    Or you could consult an LLM, I guess…
