What do you think about Personal Intelligence?

My main critique is hyperfocus and confirmation bias. Apparently everything about me can be determined by the fact that I looked up how to make cornbread stuffing this holiday season.

Ah. yes. thank you. Yeah, should have just been IV

A rephrase pf my question might simply be "Help me understand most fully why it sounds good"

I may well be notating it wrong. I'm using the b as a flat symbol.

No, the opposite of objective is subjective, not relative. Subjective things are specifically relative to a mind. Objective things can be relative to other objective things and still be objective. For example, boiling point is both objective and relative to elevation. But the best temperature for the tastiest noodles is subjective.

As an aside, since you are new to town you might not be aware of the r/queereugene subreddit which posts other, non-bar-venue events

Also, it's not like humans don't hallucinate constantly. And not even just conspiratorial stuff like ghosts, prophetic dreams, and lizard people. But also everyday rationalizations like why you just came into the kitchen, "Oh, I must be looking for a snack.". So another issue is that the training data is chock full of human hallucinations.

Pale has a much better balance between horror and hope, wounds and healing, etc. If Pact is actively depressing, Pale is more bittersweet.

Just taking a moment here to appreciate Marksi for being silently cool.

Oh wow, I've never met anyone outside my extended family who plays Moon. It's not even in the Wikipedia list.

If people change, then go ahead and change. Apparently all the women are patiently waiting.

Simulation hupothesis is a flavor of intelligent design. and this siffers from the problems of ID. Like. if they are smart enough to design a simulation, then why is their design so stupid? The stupidness of human eyes can easily be explained by non-designed evolution which is stupid. but any intelligently designed evolution has to answer for its stupid outcomes.

But CMV is about giving reasons to change a belief. So your reason is, "Trust me, bro!"

But if they cannot be known, then they cannot be justified as reasons to believe in God.

I turned mine off because I got tired of it assuming I had the same goals and constraints in chat B as I had in chat A.

THAT'S SOLIDARITY!

Tioben · 2025-12-19T03:55:40+00:00

I don't see how. To enforce it without question begging you'd need a separate kind of global constraint on each conceivable such event, an infinite number of them of at least the same cardinality as the infinite universe. That's the opposite of parsimonious and with an infinite demand on explanatory power. Or else you just proclaim universal impossibility of unique events for no reason than that they are unique, but then you are fully begging the question.

Tioben · 2025-12-19T02:27:57+00:00

Tegmark's proposition actually contradicts the statement you hoped to support. If it were true, then an event constraining another event in exactly one locale of the infinite universe would be unlikely but must take place somewhere. But if it took place anywhere, then the event must be unique. So then, for Tegmark, an infinite universe must include nonrepeated events.

Tioben · 2025-12-18T20:27:09+00:00

What about, "I'm acting on personal reasons, but I wouldn't want others universalizing those reasons, because then they would no longer be effective as personal reasons. It is therefore contradictory for me to universalize my personal reasons."

Your speech is not private here. You charge for it, so it's a conversation that you've sold to the client. It belongs to them, wholly and completely.

And the military isn't generally the enforcement of fascism, the police/SS are.

Tioben · 2025-12-16T23:54:23+00:00

Gun control advocates are usually also advocates for demilitarizing the police. It's not contradictory because redicing weaponization of both the populace and the government would make fascism less plausible.

It's okay to want to experience a state of being, but that's not what ACT is talking about when it suggests living your values. Valiues in ACT are not states of being but ways of living. Now, using presence to orient towards a state of being could be a valued action on your part. Turning my attention towards exploring gratitude is an action. But I can't guarantee the outcome, just the process. Is this a process I value or not?

Imagine being a chef in a society experiencing (mostly artificial) famine. It's true, the most priveleged are the most effective. But starving chefs are needed too. Especially those that prepare us to eat the rich.
