And in NY at that. A cesspool of human degeneracy.

I fundamentally disagree with the need to fix anything with the portal - it's a reflection of life, and life is imperfect. Curating the experience; tailoring out all the flaws ruins the entire point.

What happened (still happens?) at the NYC-Dublin portal is so wild to me because I study in Lublin (where the Polish end of the original portal is located) and walk by this portal quite often. Literally nobody gives a shit about it here. Occasionally you can see little groups of people waving at the camera hoping that someone in Vilnius would see them or parents explaining what is this bigass screen in the middle of the plaza to their 5yo children and that's it. I don't even remember any problems at the opening of those Lublin-Vilnius portals. So when I heard that a new one is about to open between NYC and Dublin I was like cool, something so mundane to me will be something new to other people in different parts of the world, but in my wildest dreams I couldn't imagine that ppl would make such a mess of it. Hope that New Yorkers and Dubliners will get used to the portal cause all four portals are about to be connected and shift every 3-ish minutes and i don't want to see anybody showing their bums to the camera or stuff like that during my afternoon walks 😅

I believe that the idea of regulation beyond the limited hours is bad, because it won't teach people anything if they try to misbehave, they won't get a response, or they won't try to handle themselves. The responsibility would be placed on the shoulders of the censoring authorities. But we are not children, and this would make the experience overall very dull, lose its purpose. I believe that we have become too polarized in so many ways, including the "offense tolerance". The fact that portal has ended in news with flashing and 9/11 memes is a good result of this experiment, no violence involved. It could be worse, much worse. But it wasn't. Mischief minority always attracts attention and shifts our perception.

@@phoebeyutbt I don't think that it has to be solved. When we are talking about this no-harm misdemeanor, I believe that the reaction, discussion and overall disapproval were enough for those who made it and everyone else to think about it. I think that this part of communication should not be brushed under the rug. This portal is located on a street, and everyone understands that it is not a tea party in a palace type of atmosphere. If we want to keep the experiment clean and the idea of this project to work, we have to keep it that way. Weird people exist, normal people who sometimes behave weird exist. We should consider that there is a chance to meet someone like this in the crowd. Imagine that there's a face control, a line with security guys checking who is okay enough to be shown to the world and who's not, and the same thing is happening on the other end, that is the black mirror thing. If there's a risk of breaking the law and harming someone - police should act, like in any other case when something happens on a street. Like street artists for example, you can interact with them, someone could harm them, then the police shows, but there's no check-in verification to approach them. It's more about shame of the public image of one's people/nation. But no one is ideal, and it is a clean experiment showing this, how similar we are in many ways.

The first Portal between Lublin and Vilnius (Poland & Lithuania) did work and still does because of "THE UNION". These cities celebrated The Union of Lublin which created Polish Lithuanian Commonwealth. But also the contemporary European Union, as both countries are EU member states and these Portals were placed in the EU Single Market. So there was no need for any specific regulation unlike with NYC and Dublin apparently.

The correlation between video calls and depression is not indicative of people being less likely to be depressed because of the video call. Personally, as someone who has dealt with depression for many many years, when I am severely depressed I am less likely to want any sort of communication. I do everything in my power to avoid having to be on the phone, and I certainly deny every video call. Correlation does not imply causation. You seem like the kind of person that would know this.

If we want to view people as human beings then we have to accept that humans are complex creatures. Happy, perfect expressions of approved behavior are more Disney than reality (and even then have problematic relationships with representing minority groups of all backgrounds). Surely existing laws about public behavior/nuisance on both sides of the portal are enough?

Just put a sign next to the portal reminding people: "Laws are still applicable. Video is recorded for security purposes." If people want to break the law it's up to them. Also, I'd find it most meaningful to create the portal to Moscow, Tehran and Beijing. Show everyone that those people are no enemies, but just people like themselves.

so the issue is that a bunch of people gather near the portal and someone on the other side does something wild and faces no consequences due to them being behind a screen. Sounds familiar

If people misbehave, it should be treated as normal. I don't see the difference between inappropriate behaviour in front of the portal vs in the street or in a museum... Some kind of regulation or censorship is against the essence of what the portal wants to achieve. (Also, why not some kind of fake 3D screen, like the 3DS for a real looking portal, it would be sick)

Great video (again) but I disagree that it was a good idea. It was basically a public Omegle. Unfortunately, the few bad apples were always gonnaruin the batch. There were a lot of people who genuinely wanted to do something good with it but because of the few idiots it's now ruined for everyone.

To the question of "Why new york city", I think it's probably that this portal is very expensive and somehow someone has to pay for it? Maybe the business model of this company is to make cities pay and that we have portals kinda everywhere in big cities? I didn't do research on this topic but that's what came to mind first.
