TWELVE How to Nurture an Up Wing Culture lack Mirror, the techno-dystopian television series, has been described as Ba show asking the question What happens when the technolegy that it is claimed improves our lives creates intractable problems and nightmarish consequences?" Among the most popular or well-critiqued episodes is one in which humans are chased by murderous robot dogs, a ghoulish spin on those viral videos from robotics company Boston Dynamics of automatons run-ning, jumping, and tumbling-—doing parkour, basically. While Black Mirror is often compared to The Twilight Zone from the 1960s, the latter was not premised on a dark future. Perhaps Hollywood doesn't believe an Up Wing White Mirror show would be possible or popular. A typical episode of such a show, physicist and author David Deutsch has said, might imagine some technology that's plausibly on the horizon-and then that technology turns out much better than imagined.? In the typical Black Mirror episode, by con-

He thinks what we need is a White Mirror sort of show: where a futuristic technology is introduced and things turn out much better than imagined.

That is the difference between a liar and an honest man. Someone who has never once conceded the Truth has no share in the Truth—they are abusers and lackeys

I don’t agree with this in a pretty major way. The point of the argument online isn’t to win the other guy over, it’s to make your points to bystanders to prevent them from being won over by the other guy and to give them new ways to argue back.

Are you going to kill everyone down to the poorest sharecropper? Where does it end? 2 1 Germy @germyf.bsky.social It is kinda fun that we get to pat ourselves on the back about our superior pro-genocide moral position, though. 6:03 AM • Feb 15, 2026
i understand that you want very deeply in your heart to defend slavery on the basis of your belief that killing any of its interlocutors is white genocide. i know this because you said it.
getting flustered and calling me names is simply not going to change my belief that slavery is bad.
pro tip. if you are speaking about sharecroppers and slaveowners in contemporary terms, you are speaking about an edge case antebellum scenario in mississippi, in which case the sharecropper standing in front of the slaveowner is a confederate soldier.
