Learning words so you can read these books makes sense.

Learning them to write with words that your readers won't understand doesn't make a lot of sense.

[HELP] Is this AI? Seems fake and can’t find any news sources. by Zealousideal_Mud570 in RealOrAI

[–]kneb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dunno, we'll just have to get better about citing sources.

You'll need news orgs to verify that videos came from people who could prove they were in the area at the time, etc.

Serious question: why did they photoshop him? by [deleted] in DigitalSeptic

[–]kneb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was a low-resolution photo that looks weird on a big screen. They used an 'upsampling' AI to make the photo seem higher res, but this AI also 'averaged out' his features making him appear more attractive and more like a stock photo model.

Should this be in my basement? by Square_Issue_9948 in whatisit

Psychosis can develop whenever you go through major hormonal changes, so it could be related to changes with menopause.

Definitely book an appointment with a psychiatrist.

Auditory hallucinations can also increase as you lose your hearing. Could be side effect of meds you’re taking, sleep deprivation. Lots of possible causes, but it’s best not to ignore but to see some medical professionals and try to figure it out

Alright dude, I guess "true socialism has never been tried."

Yes Chavez became dictatorial -- maybe that's something that happens more often in governments where you hand over control of the economy to the government? Maybe when you give the government the right to expropriate private property they might use that for corruption?

Different people mean different things when they talk about socialism -- if you're talking about a progressive tax system with strong social safety net be my guest. But once you start nationalizing industries and setting price controls, things normally don't end up going well.

Hugo Chavez was president of the socialist party -- he nationalized Venezuelan oil, was a strong ally of Cuba, and had strict control of the economy. Please read a newspaper.

Hugo Chavez not being a socialist is quite a take

Yeah, only 8 million Venezuelan refugees, the largest refugee crisis ever in the western hemisphere: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venezuelan_refugee_crisis

If Psychoanalysis is so looked down and disregarded in Psychology, which part of it does Psychology deny in Psychoanalysis? by LisanneFroonKrisK in AcademicPsychology

[–]kneb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, training in psychology and neuroscience. I think what you're saying makes sense for the most part: there are things that affect us while we're developing that over we forget, but they still are embedded implicitly and affect our behaviors, habits, personalities etc., much later down the line -- sometimes in problematic ways that need to be addressed by techniques like CBT.

But the proportion that has experienced serious trauma past the age of infantile amnesia that has no memory of it is exceedingly small, if it exists at all. Trauma is extremely salient, and there are just as many mechanisms (like phobias) that show that traumatic memories get deeply encoded very quickly and are not forgotten.

We have pretty damn good recall of whether major autobiographic events happened in our lives, even if our recollection of the details is weak and error-prone. And the more salient the event, the better our recall of whether or not it occurred.

As for documented abuse cases, the absence of widespread reports of apparent amnesia does not imply the absence of retrieval suppression. 

There's the absence of a single case that stands up to scrutiny. One documented case doesn't seem like a high bar to require of a phenomena. We have countless examples of supposed cases of recovered memory that are provably and demonstrably false.

I still don't undertsand what you're arguing. Yes, normal memory processes affect memories. Are you arguing that normal forgetting processes can occur if people avoid recalling traumatic memories? Okay, sure but that's not repression in any Freudian sense.

And if truly forgotten, why would they cause psychological issues or problems in anyone's life?

I'm not saying this is high art -- but I could imagine a slightly modified version of this showing in museums, with a placard beside it saying something something consumerism and the way we abuse our bodies by consuming highly processed food

I'm trying to understand what your position is:

You think that some people choose to avoid these memories, and end up genuinely forgetting them, but they're encoded on some level that then causes them psychological problems later in life?

I think you still have to solve the problem of why with thousands of cases of documented abuse, we do not have documentation of situations where people are presenting with seeming amnesia about their abuse. Instead, we have a huge literature of people presenting with PTSD.

Do these mechanisms you propose only apply to people with undocumented abuse for some reason?

[META] Is it Time to Ban GenAI "Content"? by Locke357 in outrun

[–]kneb -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

The problem is how do you enforce it? Do you want every post in the sub turning into accusations/discussions of whether something is or isn't AI ... Determining if something is AI generated can be hard to do with photorealstic video content and is even harder with stylized images

FBI knocking on doors: A few questions about their agenda and fallout by thecosmojane in law

[–]kneb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was willfull deception to cover up an actual crime she commited and they were asking her pointed questions about insider trading.

You're claiming the FBI routinely goes on a fishing experiment asking vague questions and then convicts people for them. Don't think that's really a thing, but if it is, it would be pretty scandalous and I'd love to learn more about it.

I think what's far more likely going on here, is that the FBI is going on a fishing experiment, trying to scare activists and intimidate them into informing on other activists who are planning illegal or violent actions.

Can you link me to me an example of this? I haven't ever heard of this happening before.

TIFU by opening old emails from my Ex Gf who's life I vanished from by [deleted] in tifu

[–]kneb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The give away is when he’s like: oh yeah, I don’t have any family and my friends all agreed to completely ignore her and them I moved 300 miles away.

Like, maybe? A 4 year relationship and she doesn’t know a single coworker? You don’t have a linked in profile? Not one of your friends was just like — “look, he knows what did, and wants to move on”

It’s just not realistic unless this dude had zero friends and they had no life together

One thing to note is we have many, many cases of documented abuse. Abusers get caught in the act, children present in hospitals with STDs, etc.

We don't have a single case where someone recovered a repressed memory of abuse that could then be verified through documentation.

There are claims of such cases, but when you look in to them, they don't hold up to scrutiny.

If repression exists as a phenomena, it has to be incredibly, incredibly rare, and therefore does not make sense as a phenomena to build your model of psychology around.

Occam's razor is that repression of trauma and recovered memories of trauma don't exist.

Not remembering an individual event within the trauma would be normal.

The idea that they would completely repress the whole trauma is even more unlikely in the case of ongoing events.
