  • If we could not imitate, empathize, and sympathize we would not be able to coope

    If we could not imitate, empathize, and sympathize we would not be able to cooperate, or detect defectors (cheaters), and baiters (predators). We can. We are extremely good at determining deceit. We have a defect that’s vulnerable to fictionalisms – most developed in Abrahamism.

    @freedomismoral Why? Because we know people lie and why. In fact, the majority of work in legal cases ( like the majority of work I do counter lies by sophism, pseudoscience, and supernaturalism) is lie detection by the incremental disambiguation of context and deduction of incentives.

  • Do humans have the ability imitate (physical), empathize(emotional), sympathize

    Do humans have the ability imitate (physical), empathize(emotional), sympathize (intellectual), of course, that’s why we are able to cooperate. Do juries test consistency, correspondence, rational incentive, and reciprocity, means, motive, opportunity, and intent? Yes.

    So not only are your fantasies indistinguishable from lying, it’s pretty settled science that what people report they believe is rarely demonstrated in their actions – particularly if it impinges upon their self image. Hence the increasingly poor quality of polls.

    @freedomismoral But in matters of argument, competition, conflict, or ir-reciprocity(criminal, unethical, immoral) your imagination makes no difference. Lying to yourself makes no difference. Lying to preserve a delusion makes no difference. Only action does. And actions demonstrate truth.

    Evidence is evidence, and without warranty, humans report the opposite of their demonstrated preference just to maintain self image or status with others. Constantly. So we have no idea what fantasies you imagine and it’s not clear you do either – until you demonstrate such.

    @freedomismoral Well courts do so every day in governance of human actions. You cannot make a truth claim about that which you cannot Testify. It’s simply not possible. You can find meaning, utility, satisfaction, sedation, you can find faith, but without demonstration you don’t know either.

    @curtdoolittle Where economics by consumption = the traditional definition of economics: The study of scarcity? If so, do you have a different definition of economics than what is typically taught by economists?

      Well it’s… we have enough info now. The nobel was awarded for good reason. now we know how the brain matches all these fragments together into a coherent experience. Just like 3d computer games really: A very interesting sort of Geometry. Identity Provisioning – Rapid Neural Maturity (or genesis) – Unique Sequences Position – Location And Routes (Paths) – Objects – Spaces (grid) – Auto Associations (memories) Movement – Speed, – Distance – Time Orientation – Direction of movement In Environment, – Direction Of Turn, – Head Direction – Eye Direction State – Recursion (18-30 seconds) State Change – Various recursive information time spans. – (Backpropagation) Really. And what scares me is how little brain volume it takes to do all that
