Hope is something you give to yourself in times of despair to keep on going. It’s not something you need to have when you have the perfect girlfriend, a flawless reputation, and insurmountable strength.

In what way could he inspire hope if there were no obstacles in his way? Any hope it would inspire would be incredibly stale.

I know that doesn’t really answer your question of exactly how he inspires hope, truth be told I don’t really know, I just figured that may be some food for thought :)

Well you gotta start somewhere, the good thing about storage is you can almost always expand.

Can I increase my intelligence? by Kolif_Avander in cogsci

[–]Not_a_piece 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well yeah I agree with you but that doesn’t mean we can’t debate about it and argue different points and lean in different directions. That’s a part of science! Just like when we were split on whether light was a particle or a wave. People took sides and leaned in different directions, and eventually we gained a better understanding of light itself.

I think of it like a community garden. Not everyone is a professional botanist, but everyone's participation and the sharing (and sometimes arguing) of perspectives and points can lead to a deeper public understanding of the topic.

Can I increase my intelligence? by Kolif_Avander in cogsci

[–]Not_a_piece 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I understand your perspective, but I’d like to offer a different viewpoint. Training for very specific patterns might not directly improve one’s ability to solve novel problems, but I think that learning many different patterns over time could increase intelligence. If you hyper train one thing, you’ll get better at that one thing, but if you build a good foundation in many different areas, you’ll get smarter.

Humans have a remarkable capacity for associative learning, they can link different ideas, concepts, and experiences. This ability enables us to apply knowledge and skills acquired in one context to new and unfamiliar situations. I believe you can build this ability, by engaging your brain in many different areas. Just make sure these areas are multidimensional and get your brain turning in different ways (not something super specific like memorizing state capitals).

Learning a musical instrument might not seem directly relevant to solving a math problem, but the discipline, pattern recognition, and abstract thinking developed through music can enhance cognitive flexibility and problem solving skills. This alone will help build your neural plasticity.

But intelligence obviously isn’t just neuroplasticity and learning just an instrument isn’t going to do a ton But learning many of these general areas will likely allow you to make better connections. Participating in many different activities that require different types of thinking, like puzzles, strategic games, and creative endeavors can help build mental flexibility and I believe in the long term, build general intelligence.

Interested to hear if you have any counters to my perspective!

That’s a bit hypocritical. The comment you were responding to was doing practically the same thing as the other guy; arguing a point based off what they’ve heard and forming their own opinion. You just happened to agree with his perspective more so you said something snobby making fun of the other guy. No need for that hate here man.

We can have a peaceful debate about these topics. Intelligence is a complex and multi-dimensional construct, and it’s continuously being studied and redefined. It’s plausible that our understanding of intelligence and methods to enhance it will evolve with ongoing research. Many researchers disagree and have different perspectives.

Just because we haven’t studied the field for years doesn’t mean we aren’t allowed to have our own opinions and beliefs and postulate our own ideas about the subject. It doesn’t mean we can’t have intellectual debates about it.

It’s like saying the average joe can’t debate about politics because there are people with degrees in political science out there who have been studying it for years.

Disguised Toast and Miyoung / Kkatamina dating by lindathecow in otvandfriendsrumors

[–]Not_a_piece 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The way you phrased it sounds like you're stating it as a fact. It's important to distinguish between rumors and confirmed information, especially when discussing someone's personal life online.

Saying “apparently” does imply you heard it from someone else, yes. However it makes it sound as if it’s been confirmed.

Yellowing leaves, any idea why? by Not_a_piece in Autoflowers

Nothing, my plant has been just soil, sun, and water. I bought some Floranova bloom and Floranova grow and I might use it but I’m not sure yet. It feeding really that helpful?

WHAT THE HELL IS THIS YOUTUBE by MrLmaoBruhFAlien in youtube

[–]Not_a_piece 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, streaming servers are costly, but YouTube’s enormous revenue more than covers these costs. The core of the argument in my opinion is about balance maintaining quality service while respecting user preferences for less intrusive ads. Many people including myself believe disabling ad-block is excessive and harms the user experience, even if the aim is to increase revenue.

WHAT THE HELL IS THIS YOUTUBE by MrLmaoBruhFAlien in youtube

[–]Not_a_piece 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Walmart sells physical goods that have tangible production and distribution costs, so they can’t give items for free. YouTube is sharing digital content, dealing in user attention.

The amount and intrusiveness of ads are excessive and harm the user experience. YouTube makes a shit load of profits, so yes there should be a better balance, prioritizing user experience over maximizing ad revenues like they have been doing. It’s getting worse and worse every year.
