  • 1) Human body is extremely resistant to weather and other environmental effects

    1) Human body is extremely resistant to weather and other environmental effects such as dust, dirt, mud, water, wind, electric storms, snow, and even temperature itself, and highly adaptable to physical constraints like position, orientation, leverage, and mobility.

    2) Current (pre-calculated) AI is extremely slow in the performance of ad-hoc physical operations.

    3) I would expect the trades, consisting of ad hoc problems in ad-hoc conditions in ad-hoc environments are relatively safe.

    I can’t think of many white collar jobs that are safe. One I’ve worked on automating in the pas is accounting and that’s a huge industry. I wrote the first production legal AI that I know of and much law can be automated other than the subjective test of lying and motive. Very hard to eliminate doctors and nurses.

    @Judianna
    Events that will change your life:
    1. Being broke
    2. A friend betraying you
    3. The death of a parent
    4. Getting your heart broken
    5. Realizing that no one is coming to save you.

    @florida_zia
    I would add:
    6. A serious illness
    7. A serious accident/car crash

    @J_Theoden
    Consider adding another:
    8. Realizing that the institutions you were taught to respect are as corrupt as the day is long. It’s a sad day when you learn that lesson.

    MORE ON THE FAILURE OF THERAPY CULTURE
    (it’s feminine – and that’s a bad thing, because it’s infantilizing and promotes irresponsibility, victimhood, and submission instead of agency and adaptation. )

  • THE DIMENSIONS OF HUMAN DIFFERENCES Think of human cognitive differences this wa

    THE DIMENSIONS OF HUMAN DIFFERENCES
    Think of human cognitive differences this way:

    First Principle:
    Sex Differences: Feminine < to > Masculine

    Dimensions:
    0) Empathizing(Words) < to > Systematizing(Actions)
    1) Time Frame: (Past-Present < to > Future)
    2) Perception: (Experience < to > Consequence)
    3) Number of People: (One < to > Populations)
    4) Acquisition: (Hyperconsumption < to > Capitalization)
    5) Self Responsibility for Commons: (Min < to > Max)
    6) Reciprocity: (Special Pleading < to > Consistency)
    7) Causality:(Direct(visible) < to > Abstract(1st principle))

    In Addition:
    a) Those are the causal dimensions of all human behavior. They are modified only by personality differences including intelligence, genetic load (negative), and developmental trauma.

    b) All personality traits are merely variations in the above biases, toward the processing of information by the neurological economy (performance) and ecology (constitution). (Before, During, After)

    c) Note that Personality Traits (independent of sex and context) do not vary substantially but Personality Facets (in context, accounting for sex) do so substantially. In other words, Personality profiles that do not account for sex differences over generalize and create a fictitious false equality between the sexes.

    c) Note that in general, Human vocabulary whether noun, adjective, verb, adverb, connector(link) or approval-disapproval, consists of approximately seven dimensions also.

    d) Note that neoteny and resulting intelligence and resulting agency constitute the causal direction of human evolution. And that genetic load (limits to neoteny and intelligence) determines the difference between groups (races, ethnicities) and classes.

    Cheers

  • SEX DIFFERENCES A substantial insight you can obtain from my work is the radical

    SEX DIFFERENCES
    A substantial insight you can obtain from my work is the radical divergence between the sexes in empathizing vs systematizing. The unambiguity:

    —“….gender differences in Big Five personality traits are ‘small’ to ‘moderate,’ with the largest differences occurring for agreeableness and neuroticism (respective ds = 0.40 and 0.34; women higher than men). In contrast, gender differences on the people(empathizing)–things(systematizing) dimension of interests are ‘very large’ (d = 1.18), with women more people-oriented and less thing-oriented than men. Gender differences in personality tend to be larger in gender-egalitarian societies than in gender-inegalitarian societies, a finding that contradicts social role theory but is consistent with evolutionary, attributional, and social comparison theories. In contrast, gender differences in interests appear to be consistent across cultures and over time, a finding that suggests possible biologic influences.”— Emil Kirkegaard

    –“@AbigailShrier warns that when therapists push excessive empathy, it can have the opposite effect: “Empathy often accompanies cruelty to the out-group, prioritizing the in-group’s feelings at their expense.””–
