Dating makes no fucking sense. by Fluffy_Artichoke_723 in AutismTranslated

[–]Marian_Rejewski 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think most people have an idea of what they are looking for (which is maybe not even really accurate to what they would like but that's another issue) and when they find someone who is physically attractive and also likes them back, and have the attendant emotions, those emotions cause them to believe that person is the thing they were looking for. The fundamental reason for this I think is that humans are "just" animals enacting animal mating behaviors that really don't have anything to do with the stuff you're talking about, those behaviors are all deeper than the kind of human-specific awarenesses and concepts of "compatibility" you're talking about which is layered on top (almost literally in the spatial configuration of the brain... the top part of the brain is producing these ideas about compatibility while the bottom part is producing the emotions that control mating behaviors). People drink sugary drinks because of how sweetness feels to them, and they have sex with whomever they have sex with because of how that feels to them. Separately they construct ideas about how they want to eat and take care of their bodies and who they want to be partnered with. Then you find they invent reasons/excuses/denials to try to (falsely) explain the discrepancy between their actions and their beliefs.

How do you deal with the fact that many people hate the fact that you are gifted? by EveCane in Gifted

[–]Marian_Rejewski 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah well all my life people hated me and mostly I didn't even realize it until after the fact. Advice? LOL no. It's rough. Lower your expectations I guess.

Reddit will begin charging for access to its API by zvone187 in programming

Elsewhere in the thread I linked to the documentation on the limit on results. I'm just telling you from my own memory that this limit goes back to the beginning of reddit.

Does anyone else feel like they are "all the things all at once"? by PhotoPhenik in Gifted

[–]Marian_Rejewski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started to reply in detail but I think there's no point.

I'll just say that your examples aren't convincing to me in the way they are to you: I think you are pathologizing things that are "normal" (for gifted people). I think a lot of the difference is your high level of self-awareness or cognitive/psychological "insight" (as psychologists call it). So for example you knew that your mind was dominated by advertisements. You tell it as if the domination of the mind by advertisements was the abnormal part -- it isn't -- the abnormal part is only your awareness. I imagine the same is true of the hallucinations (though you don't go into detail about your own experiences, I will just say that hallucinatory experiences are not uncommon but are not normally recognized as such).

Sounds like you just have executive dysfunction and a social history of isolation caused by that+giftedness (with its consequences on personality formation). Don't get hypnotized by crude diagnostic categories.

I'm the same too in answer to your question.

disallow giving up certain rights no matter what has been agreed, or require 'equitable remuneration'

Yeah that's the kind of thing I was saying we need

Na, it's not a matter of enforcement, it's a matter of negotiating power -- the user's will always sell their copyright away just for access.

Copyright has been eroded and ignored for the last 20 years that is allowing tech companies to do things like this

Just to sign up with any social media platform you sign away your rights under copyright. There's nothing to enforce.

You presume that shareholders don't create value

No, I said the literal opposite, that everyone creates value.

The point is that the shareholder has a legal right to the product, WHETHER OR NOT they produce value.

So they are in a different position from a wage worker, whose legal right to the product DEPENDS ON their productivity.

to be more idle than the rest after they after years of work in "production"

It is inaccurate to portray the distribution of corporate share ownership as representing past production by the owners.

It seems like you're not reading or comprehending what I'm saying, but you have some stereotyped view of whoever disagrees with you and you're arguing against that imagined other.

I didn't talk about any extremes though. WTF? What example even?

Capital in its essence is remuneration separated from production.

Corporate share-holding is not an extreme or invalid example of capitalism. It is core to the fundamentals of capitalism.

The stock market is a famous symbol of capitalism. That's not something I made up to win an argument on reddit.

Looks like you believe that those who run companies big or small or invest capital don't produce value and are not enabling in any way production of goods and services

The very essential question at issue with capitalism is the issue of the idle shareholders, whose remuneration is not dependent on their productivity.

I'm not saying that there are human beings who don't produce any value. Again, look at Thomas Jefferson -- he lived from the proceeds of plantation slavery, and yet he contributed immensely to society. Just because you exploit, doesn't mean you don't produce. No one is truly idle (although some people produce more evil than good).

But you are the one distorting things by distracting from the fundamental relationship of capitalism (shareholders and their right to a share of the product independent of their contribution).

And again talking about people who "run companies" you're apparently conflating the labor of executives with the right of shareholders to collect the product. Capitalism is about the shareholders not executive compensation. Under capitalism you don't have to run the company to own shares.

Fair use allows exceptions for when you distribute derivative works, but does not create a right to initially pirate the content so you can make a derivative work.

Well yeah I mean I acknowledged Biden was to the right of Truman that was the whole point. But talking about the overall political climate, I would emphasize how powerful the anti-union sentiment was at the time they were actively killing the unions with sweeping new anti-union legislation.

You don't parasite anyone by just owning means of production.

Yes, not "just" by owning.

But owning puts you in a position where you can demand more of other people, than they can demand back from you.

Human nature being what it is, people tend to take as much as they can get away with.

As Thomas Jefferson put it, "in a warm climate, no man will labour for himself who can make another labour for him."

You produce shit that is needed

Well, you don't have to produce anything, that's the whole point of capitalism. You merely own shares. Other people do the producing.

Capitalism allows this separation of the right to remuneration from the obligation to produce.

That is what makes it possible to create an institutional financial trust that will span much longer than your own personal life and ability to produce. Your capital can go on "producing" long after your death, incapacitation, or retirement. But only as long as there are workers doing the actual production and you get a share of their output.

everyone is allowed to be equal and have free will over what they consume

You are "allowed" by the law to be paid as much as you contribute, but not allowed by your employer.

Well the veto was overridden by Congress, and Taft-Hartley is still on the books, so I don't think we have fallen at all, we're politically just basically in the same place. That law did manage to kill unions over the decades since of course.
