.but there is nothing that can be done with a plastic doll, regardless of how old it may or may not look, that is pedophilia.

Maybe. But I'm sure that the counter argument is that it is actually beneficial because "using" a doll keeps him from acting out on human victims.

---

I’m not sure there is really a counter argument to pedophilia or pedophilia tendencies. Just like needle exchanges are beneficial for junkies?

So do you feel that owning something of that nature wouldn’t eventually lead to the real thing?

Unless the dolls look really, really underage, these cases are a bit fricky to prove.

I just started listening to him. I like his long format, how he just listens, and he has interesting guest. Our society is full of dullards who have the attention span of a 2 year old. Sometimes, it’s ok/good to listen and not be sensationally entertained. Just listened to the Schlep episode. Rough one to listen to, but Shawn seems to want to do something about child predators and pedos. If you can’t support someone who has a platform like his who wants to expose and destroy that contingent of society…… welll, not sure what to say man.

Shawn Ryan is so lane and boring. Sits there like he’s so intellectual and introspective but then when he tries to ask a question, he can barely form a sentence. He ends up saying shite like “oh wow. And then what?” He sucks.

As in I’m not watching it and can do without it, which I did and just maybe I read the game time wrong. I didn’t know we weren’t allowed to have an opinion on something but I guess we can argue semantics if you want.

I could do without all this pre-game bullshite. Just play the got damn game.

The unemployment of younger generations is becoming a concern. College graduates are running at about the same level as non-college graduates already. That is a relatively new phenomenon.

---

That’s because the college degree isn’t what it use to be and when you get a useless degree on top of that it can be hard to find employment. The area I’m in has plenty of jobs available. Now it might not be the job you want but there is work.

The horse and buggy transitioning to the automobile was a situation of the tech replacing old tech, therefore new jobs for workers would exist.

I think you are proving my point here. AI isn’t self sustaining. You don’t just push a button and now AI does it all. It has to be maintained and have maintenance performed. This just sounds like chicken little syndrome. With any new tech, jobs are lost but new have always been created. Just as with the analogies you have used. For example, are lawyers still going to litigate before a judge and jury or is AI going to do that? Will AI replace some clerks, or will AI assist clerks and lawyers and make their job easier? I guess we will find out before long.

There is still a lot to be figured out with AI. At this point it is nothing more than a circular investment between a few companies generating hype to drive up the value of their investment. I just don’t think it’s the nightmare scenario you are predicting.
