Only to children. And only for personal amusement. Like this personal amusement.
Once in a while, we encounter a potential human.
It’s just infrequent.
Needles. Haystacks.
When you study decidability, you study lying. When you study lying, you study language. When you study language, you study neuroscience. When you study neuroscience, you discover the trivial simplicity of the origins of all human behavior as acquisition within the constraints of their reproductive strategy on one hand, and their genetics on the other.
In the end, it’s just fascinating how people lie and deny and fictionalize and engage in magical thinking in order to convince themselves to have the confidence to face a kaleidic universe over which they have little influence, no control, and because of which they are victims of the circumstances of those with greater ability, agency, and influence. Its no wonder in times of rapid change we see extraordinary spikes in mental illness – and whole generations lost to the throng.
Social media is the cheapest means of experimenting with an endless supply of willing participants who do little other than involuntarily react to moral outrage when encountering opposing (superior) reproductive strategies, like moths to a flame.
I find studying the primates, fascinating. Walking around with a flashing sign on their foreheads that says “I want, I want I want..” hoping they bump into a coincidence of wants like fireflies seeking mates in a swarm. Utterly convinced by the narrative the use to navigate time and space that there is more to their computations that just that.
And you know, counter-signaling Musk, who is about as developed a human as they come, is just … well humorous.
