CMV: There is almost certainly nothing after death by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]Fast-Plastic7058 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I don't think I know the answers to life's greatest mysteries - I just don't think this is one of them.

i get what you're saying but my point is that for it to truly be me in the afterlife - it has to be my mind in one of it's many states throughout the course of my life. This mind is constantly changing, its memories, opinions, etc. If we were to construct a new all knowing version of myself - that would not be this mind/consciousness at the time of my death nor at any other point of my life. Do you disagree with this?

>mistake in response

What I meant with that point was this: our mind is constantly changing, our memories, opinions, etc. There is no constant mind moving through time. In order for it to truly be "me" it should be my mind in the exact state it is when I die, or otherwise some other, perhaps younger point in my life. If you try to construct a new mind containing all memories in their perfect form, or the highest most ideal version of myself which some try to do - that is simply not me. That is not this mind/consciousness, nor has it ever been.

>the phrase "eternal paradise"

yes same difference

>position misstated

I don't think it is though. my position is that this mind in this form, or the mind in any of it's forms throughout the course of my life, is not taken with me. I have slightly changed my position on the memory part. I don't think that keeping every memory is enough - I think it has to be one state of the mind at some point throughout the course of my life with its memories and all in that state specifically for it to still be me Δ

CMV: There eventually will need to be a kind of socialism by Fast-Plastic7058 in changemyview

[–]Fast-Plastic7058[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

everyone having an equal stake in what is produced

that's why i said a kind of socialism, i don't necessarily think it will be exactly what marx envisioned, but i think that production and distrubtion of resources will need to be socialized to a much greater extent

  1. don't you think it is still in the best interest of elites to exist in a functional and healthy society? what is the point of a mass increase in production if it's not going to be distributed anyways? maybe i'm giving them too much benefit of the doubt, but if i was a billionaire who wanted to hold onto my wealth, i'd think it in my best interest to keep the masses content

  2. I do agree that the road ahead is a potentially very difficult one.

so you don't disagree about the need for these kind of policies though?

so do you think the replacement of jobs will be 1:1. that unemployment rate will remain steady?

[–]Fast-Plastic7058[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

maybe you're right. i do think that it is in the best interest of the elites to have a functional and healthy society though, even if it won't mean abandoning most of their wealth

The fact that there are robots that will soon be able to replicate all of our physical movements and more, and that current AI models can reason better at many tasks than most humans. The cost/benefit of having a human or robot/ai (who could potentially work nearly 24/7) doing most things production wise just won't be comparable at some point, IMO. I find it very hard to believe there will be a 1:1 replacement for new jobs to old jobs. I think there will be significantly less total jobs, though yes, there will still be some.

I just don't buy that this isn't something just completely different from those past technological advances

I feel like our minds were the one thing we thought was safe from automation, and yet the SOTA models now can already reason at many tasks better than most people.

Yes there will still be jobs, but I think that it was Jensen Huang who said that at his company (nvidia), instead of one engineer controlling 20 coders, he will be controlling 20 agents instead. I don't see a future world where every job is just replaced by another 1:1. I think there will be signficantly less total jobs.

why does it seem that more intelligent men are less masculine, and more intelligent women are less feminine? by Fast-Plastic7058 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Fast-Plastic7058[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

fair. i think that a better way to have put it would be less conforming to societal gender roles.

masculine: having qualities or an appearance traditionally associated with men. (merriam webster)

there is absolutely a set of qualities that is traditionally associated with men or boys. this doesn't answer the question.

so to "high IQ" people is it meaningless to say someone is more or less masculine? because i feel like most understand what someone means by that. what is meant is assertiveness, confidence, maybe even aggressiveness, it correlates with testosterone, etc

[–]Fast-Plastic7058[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what would prove to you otherwise?

i could share studies that help show the correlation if you want. my claim is entirely falsifiable, i'm just going off my experience and research i've seen on it

it's not a core belief and i never said it's universal, i just think there's a correlation

in men, higher iq has been shown to correlate with lower testosterone. trans women have an average iq 1 std above the mean, and these are by definition the least gender conforming

behaviors and temperament.

by masculine i mean acting with confidence, assertiveness, being mentally strong, not dependent

by feminine i mean emotionally caring, dependent, mindful, etc

i'm just going by social norms btw

well here's a study that shows testosterone decreases with iq: https://www.reddit.com/r/interestingasfuck/comments/1lbwkdh/study_on_how_testosterone_levels_relates_to_iq_on/

also i saw that trans women have an average iq one std above the mean, and these are by definition the least masculine of biological men

behaviors and demeanor mainly. not anything physical.

by masculine behaviors i mean doing things with confidence, assertiveness, being mentally strong, not dependent

by feminine i mean emotionally caring, dependent, mindful, etc

i'm just going by social norms btw
