‘Imagine 99% of your effort goes to reenforcing your assumptions and 98% of those are wrong.’,(reply>), @John Joyce Exactly. I'm deep in to Sam Harris right now and didn't expect THAT out of Jim Keller. Amazing.,(reply>), @Todd Kulacz No lol it's not about the numbers. Your past memories form your accumulated identity, and your intellect works to preserve it. Do you identify as gay or in "strong support" of gay rights? Every time someone says a gay joke you spend 10 kCal frowning. Do you believe, from past experience, that speech recognition is not a machine-solvable problem? You aren't going to solve it in your lifetime even if the tech to solve just came up, because you're still stuck in the past instead of analysing a problem like a child would. Same thing about science progressing one death at a time - those were stupid people who couldn't do the the most basic thing of separating memory from intellect.<br>Not everything needs to be measured to have value, not everything is worth being measured either.<br><br>@john joyce, yup, I noticed that too. The yogis say if you can do this at will your intelligence increases to unfathomable levels, and only in today's age of fast progress is that painfully obvious. Imagine noticing that (falsifable) fact thousands of years ago,(reply>), Eric G yeah, same thing happened with the Jordan Peterson “dead wood”,(reply>), And yet he says it in such high confidence like he knows he is right... ironic,(reply>), boy, some people love to pull bullshit, made up stats directly from their asshole and pretend it's profound.
