if it comes with an adjustable belt so I can wear it at my waist, forehead, or chin to triple task then we’re really cooking with gas

your claims are weak and lack both substance and form, your appeals to the void are not resonant and moving, and your dalliances with higher purpose expose nothing but mottled sighing flesh in search of another sofa to molder upon

I get that but we don’t need to appeal to evolutionary processes to get thereβ€”don’t think we have any particular clean partition between β€œinstinctual” and β€œhighly educated” in the first place

the vast majority of humanity will happily be innumerate as long as the treats keep flowing and that is not a sign of moral hazard or cynicism it is a massive fucking win condition to celebrate

bright ppl getting stuck in bad situations where they can never test their heights is a separate problem

this weird academic reflex to faint onto a couch of β€œalas, the unwashed masses know not what ignorance they carry! if only they were more like me surely our problems would be nobler!” has always been really weird to me

a) more ppl like you β‰  smarter
b) smarter ppl still make really stupid problems

don’t care for these evopsych takes at all

evo processes didn’t optimize for mental ability to read text or crunch numbers and yet we still manage to employ the % that can do those things in useful roles that keep the lights on and push the envelope while CAS enjoyeers are rarely unoccupied

β€œhow tf do cells know so much?” has been chasing me like one of those Scooby Doo long hallways scenes but into academic and industrial labs, machine shops and start ups, non profits and investment teams, code and guts, and even a bit in crypto (DeSci) and policy palm greasing

see the issue with these ideas is that you gotta be really aggressive about exclusivity bc it only takes 1-2 mops to ruin it

yeah: works really well to let them β€œprogram” each other taking turns as programmer and robot, they can get variables, if/then statements, and feedback as concepts within a half hour

yes it’s all evil all the way down an endless sprawling fractal surface of indelible sin having ideologies is not just a bad idea it’s evil almost as evil as the fields of philosophy and category theory
