  • Yes, in the same way a field of corn on a farm can be seen as art. We do not have full control over how it actually looks in the end, but it’s an expression by natural phenomena (sometimes guided or initiated by humans).

    You could argue about the amount of free will required to create art. But in that case one could philosophically raise the question if humans even have free will, and if anything may be called art then at all.

    I think if something is observed as art, it is by definition art. And perhaps everything that exists and is created could fit that description. But personally one of the more interesting types of art to me are where living beings are involved in the creation, while they’re actually thinking of creating art; and I think most discussions are about that concrete level.







  • Well to be fair, to get out of the situation that makes you feel that way is pretty similar as to remove yourself from it.

    But I’m being pedantic, I do get what you mean of course. Personally I’m not really against ending ones own life per se, only the dramatic options that usually lead to all kinds of trauma should be looked at. We can handle this as a society with a gentle support for those who’d like to pass away.

    It can be an acceptable solution to ones pain; but for the sake of your surroundings it should perhaps not be the first.





  • Of course. Perhaps I should add that I’m not from a native-English speaking country. I’ve seen lots of times where people, mostly not so highly educated (which is a large segment of the population), just don’t see obvious satire as it is or in their hate make the jokes part of their argument set.

    Partly because they only understand half of it or are willingly blinding themselves and just further fueling their rage.

    Just saying, source / certificates might mitigate some of those issues or at least make them easier to debunk for the ones who they forward their ‘evidence’ too.




  • I could see some harsh humour in it as well, but it should clearly be labeled “parody”. The way it was shared now is a terrible idea, but we’ve all seen it coming…

    All media should have some securely signed source that’s easily viewable and pops up at the start and end of the video (and is visible in the pause screen or on hover, also in case of an image). If it was not signed it should show that as well, like web TLS certificates.

    If no internet is available it should show that it cannot verify the source without a connection. There should also be a proposed default date in which the baked in certificate might get less secure, which should also show in the media.
