    UM. NO THAT’S CONFLATION. CHOICE vs PROBABILITY

    —“Curt: I am currently enrolled in a Chemical engineering course in which the professor is attempting to pair game theory with traditional modeling of chemical reactor plant design. He has conceptually replaced decisions with reactions and choices as atoms with the pains as thermodynamic indicators. As far as I can tell it is an entirely new field but it at least initially seems to be better at actually predicting the behavior of real populations of people better standard Game Theory.”—

    Everyone is doing this. I do this (operationalism in economics), some other philosophers do it (See Glennen and Bechtel: Mechanistic Philosophy), mathematicians do it (see the Intuitionistic and Constructivist Movements), the physicists do it (see Operationalism/Operationalist movement in physics), all of computer science does it (this is what distinguishes computer science/programming from mathematics, and more so from formal logic, informal logic, and argument), and most visibly Stephen Wolfram, of Wolfram Alpha calls it ‘the new science’.

    The universe consists of layers of complexity each of which produces a limited number of possible operations. whatever the universe consists of > subatomic physics > physics > chemistry > biochemistry > biology > organisms > complex organisms > ecologies > planets > solar systems > The Universe > sentience > consciousness > reason > computation > calculation > Whatever Comes Next.

    If you want to call that game theory (which is choice) that’s anthropomorphism. In other words, human, sentient, conscious reason. It’s not choice. It’s probability and necessity. Hydrogen and oxygen can’t wake up in the morning and choose not to make water. Your favorite female recreational sex partner can choose not to service you today.

    All error rises from misapplication of analogy.

    Operations and probability = physical, Opportunity and Choice = mental.

    Don’t conflate them.

    —“The expansion of the model beyond traditional matrices solves the problem of increasing the number of players as well as introducing a mechanism for repeated games (recycling decomposed products/made decisions and filtering off unmade possibilities).”—

    Again. games in the sense of choice (game theory) vs probabilities in the absence of choice (probability)

    These are two different models. Human actions are not open to probabilism for reasons I don’t wanna go into right now at depth, and the universe has fixed options and therefore is not gaming just probabilistic.

    Nassim Taleb does a pretty good job of explaining the Ludic Fallacy. Confusing Games (dice , bounded, and probabilistic) with Choices (actions, unbounded and heuristic).

    YES, GAME THEORY IS JUST A RUBK’S CUBE – A TOY – BUT…. LET’S LOOK AT THAT A MOMENT…

    —“Curt, What are your thoughts on Game Theory? Is it a valuable tool for describing group or individual behavior or just a kind of Rubix Cube for involuntarily celibate economists.”—‎Vincent Cucchiara‎

    While it is useful as a general principle that layers of prisoner’s dilemmas are always at play and therefore unpredictable, it’s a dead end since only the first, second, and at most third order are perceptible and calculable and demonstrated by man. No real world game (market) is that trivial.

    Same with logics. We are all pretty good with first order logic and sometimes second order, but beyond that it’s just a language game for logicians – no one does or can think in those terms. Because no one expresses ideas that trivial.

    Causal density is simply too high.

    I’d make the same argument about Operationalism, in that it’s only important to understand general rules produced by operational analysis the way we understand norms and laws – we just do (use or repeat) them. The fact that it is incredibly burdensome and requires a great deal of knowledge to speak in operational language lets us make proofs when we need to the way we do with engineering, recipes, programming, and mathematics, but people will continue to speak in norms as a means of limiting the cost of neural economy (computational efficiency). We always and everywhere seek to limit physical, emotional, and intellectual costs – particularly when a norm exists that lets us communicate while avoiding them: (i.e. manners, vocabulary, narratives, traditions.)

    We are always battling the problem of neural economy (computational efficiency) and this is why normative concepts are helpful – they function as useful puzzle pieces that eliminate our demand for computation of everything all the time, in real time, which is exhausting. The value of neurons is that they generalize.

    Our whole problem boils down to ensuring constant relations between the real world and our generalizations of it. Unfortunately we are ignorant, we err, we bias, and we tell white, grey, and black lies to ‘maintain the peace’ as frequently as we speak in constant relations with the existential universe.

    It’s bad enough we have to use prices and bank balances…. lol

  • Intercultural Differences in Demonstration of Neuroticism

    October 7th, 2018 3:39 PM Via Brandon Hayes FROM TEXT: Interpretation # 1 Intercultural differences in neuroticism reflect slight differences in culture-specific components of neuroticism.

Finally, we would like to pay attention to the question of “independence of neuroticism.” Neuroticism has been found to be positively correlated with cultural dimensions of masculinity and uncertainty avoidance (Hofstede model, see Hofstede & McCrae, 2004; Allik, & McCrae, 2004), power distance (Hofstede model, Özkan & Lajunen, 2007) and harmony value (Schwartz model, Schwartz, 2006) and negatively correlated with the interpersonal trust dimension from the Inglehart model (Allik & McCrae, 2004).

    —“Khabib was a dishonorable b—ch for his actions after the fight – that’s the difference genetically between Europeans and Middle Easterners”—

    The problem is that one of the foundational principles of islam is that every man is due respect whether he earns it or not. And another that truth may not be spoken to power – one must submit.

    This is hostile to the christian(aryan) way, of “i am better until you prove me otherwise”, “you are not worthy of respect unless I determine it so”, and “we are,europeans, the cult of non-submission.”.

    So where you and I would be called names and obtain honor by not reacting, they feel dishonored because they are not respected.

    Once you are aware of this then you see the vast difference in muslim and western behavior.
