The evidence of that is…

*gestures wildly*

But many times when ppl experience declines in cognition they don’t notice it, even though it is very noticeable.

And wouldn’t that make ppl who do notice it…a little concerned and maybe a little incessant about acknowledging the problem?

Summer lizard.

Now that the weather is getting warmer there's a whirlwind of lizard activity outside. We piled up some branches in the back and inadvertently made a 5-star resort for the little fellas - it's so fun to watch them! πŸ’›

Gavin says we need to be culturally normal? Wrong! Our cultural norm is injustice. The people appealed to as β€œnormal people” in America are only white folks with their piece of the pie. Striving for β€œnormal” is always a problem that excludes the marginalized, & America’s normal is fascism.

Subject: there is a simpler explanation about women and intelligence
intelligence comes about in part from real focus (goal-directed
(this is why you have the absent minded professor caricature)
it is a rare woman who is not first and foremost focussed on what
thinking and feeling about her
hard to be brilliant if you are worrying if you look fat or why
hates you or why you dont own a kelly bag

Relevant to today's conversation about AI's inherent sexism, here's an email from cognitive psychologist and early AI theorist Roger Schank, arguing to Epstein that women can't be truly intelligent, because they care too much about what other people think.

knowing that nobody at the BAFTAs spoke to Delroy or Michael, that apparently there was a 'sorry if you were offended' apology, and the fact that the BBC took time to edit "free palestine" and not the slurs has made an already ugly no win situation much worse
