"informed"
Lol
But I kid. Your logic fails to escape the box I propose, I think. I think that only direct observation achieves good reliability. That and maybe conversation with personal friends.
Beyond that, big nope. It's the epistemological equivalent of drinking out of lead cups except the damage is quicker.
Carpenter coder here. I like saving my code powers for my own beloved projects.
My thoughts as well.
It makes me wonder about my own fears. How many of them were put there by propaganda?
It was a wrong turn anyway, so I edited it. Sorry. I hoped to catch it before you replied.
But my point was the arrogance and disrespect. I find it shocking. The actual form of the insult was secondary.
Society is insane. Gotta deal with that somehow.
I'm a rural carpenter. I fly under all radar.
Me to. Dr Who. I had the dumbest british accent through my teens.
When I was little I liked the still ones. I could get along with them.
For the first 12 years of my life I had an ongoing "this is what reality is" story in my head that I worked on basically daily. It was a model, or an explanation.
I stopped when I got seriously into videogames
Finish the paper, or don't, the outcome is the same. You don't have to worry about the paper anymore. Which is what really matters here.
The second way is easier.
Factual information comes from the authority of the hour. The authority of the hour is determined by vast mindless forces.
it's a basic prerequisite for participation in contemporary society.
A fancy way of saying "mandatory"
So get your fluoride some other way, like in the toothpaste. Everybody wins.
An accusation of selfishness wrapped in a very large bun. Lol.
Godammit!
Well, tyranny forces us to excel, or something.
I appreciate your concern. But to your first point.
Intelligence is biased towards intelligent expression and interpretation. That limits it, in expression and perspective. Seeing through intelligence-colored classes. Expressing though an intelligence-preferring filter.
But we are larger than our intelligence. And this larger form has its own expressions.
Though we, as individuals and a culture, are in the habit of ignoring this larger self. It exists. Like the invisible part of an iceberg underwater.
If you had to guess, what form would this "loss of social skills and non-mating" take in a human population?
