Everything I write is “translated”…

Normal people usually have an innate-mind-language of either

• visual-cognition
• auditory-cognition
• kinesthetic-cognition

I think in abstract-shapes, & have to translate from abstract-forms into English, & it is … frustrating & tiresome … to accomplish this,

& it’s required ALL the time.

Maybe someday I’ll go read what the discussion was, to figure-out if I was having a bad day, that day, & try correcting it…

This article’s existence suggests that Retraction Watch should be checked, as a prerequisite to one’s posting anything!

Call it Ouranos, & commenter-asininity should be reduced.

Explicitly mention in the rules, that if someone finds an item on some not-allowed-source interesting,

then they should go look-for a proper-science article giving the same core-meaning

& that would be acceptable.

There’s a principle that the most-famous-convict-in-the-world held-to, that Science is supposed to also hold-to…

“it doesn’t matter who says it: if it’s True, then it’s True, end-of-story.”

I’ve seen “authorities” assert that there is “no scientific evidence” or “no valid evidence” for some supplement, then simply gone on PubMed & found 800-ish peer-reviewed articles on exactly that supplement, so the “authorities” are just pushing ideology/prejudice, since evidence has been contradicting them for years, before they made their “authoritative” declaration…

I’m kinda fed-up with Scientism masquerading & gaslighting as Empiricism, you know?

( & this doesn’t even touch the nobody will do the experiment, therefore there’s no “evidence” because nobody “can afford” to assert the evidence bullshit…

A South Korean experiment, iirc, years ago, did a single-plutonium-atom-in-each-of-some-mice experiment, letting the mice reproduce, & then cracking whether there was any statistically-significant-cancer-rate-difference in the plutonium-adulterated lineages, vs the others…

& discovered that there is…

But, of course, if THAT were replicated, then … ALL nuclear-safety-regulations would be trashed, because the multiple-generations-tests are NOT done, because we CAN’T afford to know that!!, right??

Same with the “we don’t know what could be causing The Cold Blob™ off of Greenland, but we won’t include Greenland ice-melt in our climate-models, so therefore there’s NO SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE that that’s what it is!!” gaslighting…

NOW they’ve done that inclusion, & discovered that AMOC began shutting-off around 1950, & this-decade will see about 1,000,000+ fewer cubic km of flow, than the 1940-1950 decade ( Nature Geoscience for that article, it was linked from Earth.com, a few days ago )…

Won’t-do-the-experiment is itself pseudoscience!!

Feel free to delete my comment from this discussion, since it contradicts consensus/Scientism’s establishment…

Here’s the AMOC-is-shutting-down, will be down 33% at 2C, article:

Here’s The Cold Blob whose source hasn’t been scientifically established, to use their phrase:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_blob

( seriously: what ELSE could be its source??

Greenland’s nearly-6k-cubic-km in the last few years icemelt HAS to go somewhere, right?

Isn’t considered-reasoning part of The Scientific Method, anymore?

Reading the PDF…

The “most preferred leadership behavior” is … being male?

Uncertainty-avoidance ( that’s a Hofstede dimension, why do they seem to be claiming otherwise? ) is 2nd, which explains why ideology/prejudice, Kahneman1-mind, for anybody who has read his “Thinking Fast and Slow”, on the 2 mind-systems, is preferred to considered-reasoning!

Damn…

Humankind … hasn’t got a chance in hell, … of surviving this century’s challenges,

has it?

That kind of polarization/programming … is completely incompatible with species-wide adapting.

Here are some background links, for you people:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hofstede's_cultural_dimensions_theory#Dimensions_of_national_cultures

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_leadership

I think they really missed a trick, by not looking into whether Kegan4 or Kegan5 is preferred, in leadership, in different cultures ( though Hofstede’s Success-orientation, formerly “masculinity”, would be a reliable indicator for Kegan4 & against Kegan5 )…

Kegan4’s … bulling-boss mode, it’s a stage-of-unconscious-mind-development which is pushing-out-unacceptable-meaning, & its instinct “knows” that validity is zero-sum: anybody else having any validity, that costs one’s own ( exclusive ) validity.

Kegan5’s … systems-of-systems mode.

scroll down a bit, from this link, & read the table…

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Kegan#The_Evolving_Self

Kegan & Lahey’s book “Immunity to Change” is on 3, 4, & 5, & how not getting one’s unconscious-mind to change utterly destroys potential, for little reason.

They provide leverages for getting one’s unconscious to grow-up, too…

Oh, this need be added:

Lanier never published in academia, ttbomk, only through her book…

However, Universe couldn’t possibly care if a meaning is published outside, or inside, of academia’s filter-bubble, crowded as it now is with “paper mills” and their fake-science publications…

Scientific Method is the ONLY test for Truth of something, right?

Lanier’s stuff tests-out.

Contempting it, because a particular filter-bubble hasn’t “authorized” it to be True in Universe’s eyes, is … cultural chauvanism, & nothing else…

Universe isn’t, in any way whatsoever, dependent on academic-filter-bubble for What It Holds To Be True, right?

I’ve a test of her Tropical culture vs Nordic culture that for me hammers-it-home:

I’ve spent years as a homeless person, including out in the bush.

WHEN failure to do something oneself WILL terminate one’s life in the cold, THEN one gets off one’s ass & doesn’t rely on “society” to “take care of one”, right?

That isn’t in Tropical culture, only in cultures where cold threatens individual-survival/viability.

People can debate all they want about whether it’s significant, or not, or valid, or not,

but … go out there & put your life on the line for a few winters & see if it alters your instincts, or not, eh?

I say it does, & that no amount of ideological bullshit can falsify the evidence that direct-experiment produced, in altering me.

People who won’t do the experiment say “it isn’t proven”, & they won’t accept the testimony of people who have done the experiment…

Hence my inability to respect ivory-tower “authority” which won’t do the experiment, rejects evidence contradicting its filter-bubble, etc…

Do the experiment , that is rule number ZERO, right?

Empiricism!

Lanier’s stuff checks-out, through & through, & its not having been published within academia’s filter-bubble in no way, whatsoever, negates its validity.

_ /\ _

This seems spot-on.

I do wish, however, that it wasn’t only Hofstede’s research that was being used as a reference, as Lanier’s “Foreign to Familiar” is, while identifying fewer dimensions, every bit as fundamental as Hofstede’s “Exploring Culture” book is…

Lanier identifies the Tropical vs Nordic cultural dimension, & also the old-culture vs new-culture dimension,

neither of which Hofstede seems to have acknowledged.

Lanier isn’t male, of course, so expecting male-academia to do anything other than ignore her work … isn’t going to accomplish anything, this century, is it?

& as for the people who automatically-contempt automatic-machine-learning, it’s a brilliant use of technology:

let the machine identify what the factors are, & which way they’re going, in the different cultures.

Think of it as enhanced data-mining, & that’s the best idea to know it as, really…

Not even slightly related to the generative-LLMs with their hallucinations, at all.

Isn’t that interesting…

The anbility to prevent the getting-out of evidence of what the authorities do to the locals…

Just like the unconstitutional state-laws which criminalize capturing-of-video-evidene of police executing people…

“I wonder” if this would ever be abused by anti-accountability authorities…

( remember that the whole Christian religion is founded on a guy who was a kind of whistleblower, & had spikes hammered through his wrists, in his crucifixion, for his calling the legalists “hypocrites”…

I wonder how “Christian” he’d find them to be, if he returned, & saw what they’re doing? )

Human nature & demon nature seem … related?

or is that too harsh?

… perhaps … but wasn’t the Inquisition demon-law in the name of benJoseph?

IF you are in accounting, especially if you are in regulatory compliance accounting, or going into it, you NEED to know about a book named “Financial Shenanigans”.

I’m not intellectually-equal to it ( or to accounting, for that matter: psychology’s much easier to crack, for me ), but it is THE most important book for forensic-accountants to know.

The bullshit that they’ve been pulling, where “Between 2017 and 2021, Amazon had more than $25 billion in losses from its devices business, according to the documents. The losses for the years before and after that period couldn’t be determined.” didn’t produce criminal consequences…

You’ve got to be kidding, right?

Individual human goes to jail or prison for $2k tax fraud, but … big tech gets a free pass on that kind of “accounting”??

couldn’t be determined??

Either run a tight-ship or don’t be surprised when it sinks.

Economies are the “ships” that carry our countries, & have to be properly regulated, exactly as a tightly-regulated ship has to be, to keep it afloat longer.

It isn’t the sloppy mechanic-racers who win NASCAR, it is the ones who control everything correctly, with total right-regulation.

I remember when I’d read that Cisco switched to closing their books out daily, so as to always know the exact position of the company…

what an incredible degree of financial-operations integrity that was…

Anyways, “Financial Shenanigans” is THE book to dig into, if you want to know if the business you’re considering investing in is cooking the books… and you’re capable of understanding that stuff at the level it’s speaking…

Conflict-of-interest is the root of all corruption.

This escalation will continue,

until big-tech forces the governments to kneel to the surveillance-capitalism biggest:

They will simply say something like:

"Either your government removes laws, regulations, accountability, etc, from us,

XOR we are hamstringing your country: we OWN you, we POSSESS you, & you will obey OUR rule."

I guarantee this will be happening between now & 2036.

Remember how they can ratchet-up a genocide, anywhere??

They’ve already done so, in some places…

This is inevitable:

Once the people in China can only see the CCP’s version of everything,

& ALL stuff has been adulterated, either by AI or by some agency-or-other,

THEN dissent should die-down in the Chinese population:

Read Lanier’s “Foreign to Familiar” to understand how Tropical-Culture vs Nordic-Culture shapes people, & how old-cultures vs new-cultures shape people,

then read Hofstede’s “Exploring Culture” to understand the dimensions of culture that his Cultural Dimensions Theory digs into ( power-distance, uncertainty-avoidance, “success”-orientation, & other dimensions )…

& when you understand how we’re kind of “template” people, before being born into culture,

but once born into it, our entire meaning gets framed within whatever culture we were born into…

therefore, the CCP can simply remove most diversity-of-meaning from their completely-possessed-population, through a generation or 2 of that.

Tibetan, Uyghur, Hongkonger, Taiwanese, Indian, South-Korean, Japanese, the intent is consistent: "the destruction of " … others … “is the midwife of Chinese supremacy”.

I expect a similar kind of program to exist in all right-possessed countries, as the right is doing in the US, right now, with burning or banning books, eradicating proper education, suppressing libraries, etc, they’re just doing the same thing as what the CCP’s doing, only less-skillfully, is all.

No real difference in their deeper heart/motivation/intent, though: supremacism, crushing/destroying all “other” kinds.

Russia’s big on it, too, isn’t it?

Islamism…

The “Crusades” were good examples of this kind of idiocy?

The “Inquisition”?

The “Buddhist” genociding of Tamils?

So long as the “home” story is … “coherent”, & “justifies” all, then … kids grow up … believing, right?

There’s a book, & a Big Think yt video, on “Collective Illusions”, which is important!

Please invest in seeing that video, & see how it’s actually a delusion-mechanism in our minds…

…used by political-forces, yes, but they couldn’t use it if it didn’t exist, could they?

Is he saying that if his personal-information is on the dark-web, then it’s perfectly-OK for everybody & their robot to be using it??

XOR is he saying that there are 2 kinds of law:

1 for protecting his entitlement,

( obviously, he’s already answered the latter )

Computational-Fluid-Dynamics simulations are RAM-limited, iirc.

I’m presuming many AI models are, too, since some of them require stupendous amounts of RAM, which no non-server machine would have.

“diminishing returns” is what Intel’s “beloved” Celeron garbage was pushing.

When I ran Memtest86+ ( or the other version, don’t remember ), & saw how insanely slow RAM was, compared with L2 or L3 cache, & then discovered how incredible the machine-upgrade going from SATA to NVMe was…

Get the fastest NVMe & RAM you can: it puts your CPU where it should have been, all along, and that difference between a “normal” build vs an effective build is the misframing the whole industry has been establishing, for decades.
