really concerning that someone in my seminar class can casually talk about how ai taking over to create human perfection and the elimination of human flaw and necessity is a GOOD IDEA. even mentioned the whole brain microchip thing.

im convinced that people who believe thats a good idea fit one of two criteria:

- they’re rich and want it in a way that benefits themselves without eliminating their “humanity”

- they don’t actually understand what that would mean

perfection is against human, if any biological, development. unless we become ai ourselves. we would have no need for passion or interest, we have no room for innovation or improvement because there is no flaw to improve on. sure, use it as a tool for evolution—but absolute perfection? imagine putting that expectation on young children (like so many already do) but ten-fold. it is not going to benefit them, it is only going to create issues that will likely end up never addressed. perfection goes against organic, biological existence.

dont even get me started on the concern i now have about if you are wanting to eliminate human flaw, how is that want going to expand to the environment/earth? other species?

What Native people say about the use of sage: you can use sage, but you cannot smudge as nothing you are doing (waving sage around) is actually smudging. Smudging is a ceremony and you are, we promise, not smudging. Please buy sage from either us, or someone who sources the sage from us. White sage may not be considered endangered by the US government but corperate sourcing is making it difficult for us to source sage for our own religious purposes. Let alone to sell it.

What white people hear: never use sage ever, don’t ever buy it, don’t own it, don’t even look at it.

Look, y’all. There’s a couple of facets to my talk today.

1) Yes! You can buy sage! You really, truly can! Buy it from either native sellers (go to a powwow! Eat our food, buy our stuff, watch some dancing!) Or buy it from a seller who sources the sage from native people. Pick one. And no, buying it from 5 Below doesn’t count.

2) you CANNOT smudge. This isn’t just you “shouldn’t”— this is a YOU ARE INCAPABLE OF SMUDGING. Waving a sage stick around your doorways IS NOT SMUDGING. It is smoke clensing. Smudging, depending on the tradition and tribe, could easily have dancing and drums involved. You, as a white person, do not have the cultural BACKGROUND to even know how it works. At all. Period.

3) please, for FUCKS SAKE, stop making posts here on tumblr where you tell other white people about cultural appropriation and what they can and cannot do. Please stop, your license has been revoked because none of you bother to get the facts right. We native people are FULLY CAPABLE OF DOING IT OURSELVES. Consider instead: a) reblogging our posts where we talk about it! We’re here! We have made posts!! b) Making a post that states what we said and then LINKS BACK TO US. Screenshot with a link if you must. Stop centering your own voices in these conversations. You are already centered in everything, stop centering yourselves in a native space.

I’m tired of this nonsense, y’all.

Thanks for coming to my TedTalk ™
