@nemobis@mamot.frSomeone said a tech policy was "necessary and impossible" and my neurons went in overdrive. I'm going to blame some Aristotelian logician.

@saraislet@infosec.exchangeI love word origins and psychology and sociology and metaphysics and ethics
But at the end of the day what matters is how each of us — and the systems we're part of — impact humans (today or future effects)
@saraislet@infosec.exchangeEach of these is a whole field of study — there's a whole microcosm in metaphysics of language. But again and again, what truly matters beyond the effects and perception of our words and actions?
Many of us spend a lot of time caught in our heads thinking about words and labels and boxes and boundaries. I'm not suggesting that we don't need a bit of Wittgenstein's ladder to build our internal understanding of what we want, but at some point we have to get out of our own heads.
What truly matters beyond the effects and perception of our words and actions?
Does my gender matter beyond how I want to be treated? Does my sexuality matter beyond whether and who and how I want to have sex?
Do software delivery dates or OKRs matter beyond whether the users are happy or whether the software creates the effects we intend?
Does it matter to label a country's actions as "preventative" or "defensive" or "defending managed democracy" or "genocidal" (sorry Helldivers) when large numbers of living beings are dying?
