Kings, queens and luminaries were fooled by this machine since they had seen amazing clockwork singing birds, and the wonders of technology so, when Wolfgang von Kempelen said that he'd made a clockwork chess playing "Turk*" since they didn't know how the cam-systems in the clockwork birds worked and couldn't be bothered to listen to the people who did they were fooled.

I'm so glad I live in a time when this could not happen.

*seems racist in some obscure way IDK even know...

Engraving of the mechanical Turk A man in a box controls a puppet of a guy with a turban who plays chess.

@futurebird @lffontenelle We also know about the massive enrichment of a few people at the expense of mass unemployment from the Industrial Revolution/Luddite movement. Brian Merchant's 2023 #book draws these parallels in "Blood in the Machine: The Origins of the Rebellion Against Big Tech".

"A Sea in My Name... and a Wounded Homeland"

⋆⋅☆⋅⋆

"My session on my sea came to an end. I returned to my shelter, just a few meters from my shore. I wished I could say, 'I'm returning home,' but a Palestinian cannot own a home in their homeland as long as that homeland is wounded in the hands of its oppressor.

The homeland must first free its pierced body from the jaws of the beasts before it can provide a home, oxygen, and water for its young children."
