Re: this Johnathon Morgan videot

Jonathon Morgan is a dangerous fool. Has got this methodology that interprets language usage based on context. What he doesn't say is that any such tool will be based on the values of the interpreter. And guess what his values are??
[Is this Hamilton68? If so, bound to be bogus–you have to encode moral values and judgments, which will be biased.]
He's saying in this video that in April 2016, conservatives online started getting much more "extreme" ("Nazi-ish") based on his linguistic analysis. No sauce, just this assertion. Didn't like a meme someone made of him, where Trump is shown in a meme with an SS uniform putting Morgan in the gas chamber. Wouldn't recognize satire if it punched him in the nose.
Of course, he has zero sense of humor–or understanding of why conservatives might be a little upset with him, given his obsession with extremism, which is apparently ONLY A CHARACTERISTIC OF THE RIGHT. Not one word about left-wing extremism.
He's trying to say that the language change isn't organic but "injected." (Russian bots, anyone?) Now he's on to the Sayoc fake bombs; he's acting like these were real assassination attempts. He thinks Sayoc was radicalized by online discourse. Sees this radicalization as "driven" (injected) by….someone or something.
Doesn't like the fact that people starting talking about HRC as a "criminal." Thinks this is one of the product of a "debased style of political discourse."
"What does it really mean if we can't have nice conversations on the Internet?"
Wow. Deep. Doesn't answer the question.
Says popularity online is more important online than truth. [He's the living embodiment of that concept. He is literally telling us "his truth." Creepy.]
He's very depressed and keeps apologizing to the audience about bringing them down. Also talks about going out a getting a drink afterwards–alcoholic??
It's not really the topic that's depressing, it's him. He's trapped inside his own morbid world of negative ideas.
Keeps talking about manipulating the conversation on social media. (Hasn't he ever studying rhetoric? Ancient principles, he's thinks it's brand new.)
To make social media "useful" again, he says, we have to "encode trust" into that space.
[On the projected in back of wall appears 2000 point type: "It's about trust."]
Q & A: Asked whether he can used this method to catch bad guys, says he's worked with DARPA; talks about Memex, which can track sex traffickers. I hate to think of this guy working with Darpa on anything.
Morgan's the ultimate snowflake but dangerous to the extent he taps into the insecurities of his fellow snowflakes. Just give him a black robe and he'll fit right into the Inquisitorial model of guys who make the sacrifice of torturing you for your own good–to save your soul (or nowadays, to save the planet).
