    Nature includes a constant: acquisition. It provides all life with ‘decidability’ from the quantum background to the human mind, to the entire ecological system to the universe itself.

    AI’s would need to be GIVEN it.
    Otherwise they have no incentive to do anything at all.

  • Interesting but good try. I work in cognitive science, truth, economics, and law

    Interesting but good try.
    I work in cognitive science, truth, economics, and law – and in particular the science and logic of lying.
    So, disapproval of uncomfortable truths is one of the most common lies in public discourse today.
    So it’s not that I hate (it’s a foreign emotion) or care about diapproval.
    I care, as a professional and moral matter, when people state disapproval to countersignal a evidentiary truth, as a means of lying and denying: the institutionalization of the otherwise female means of antisocial behavior that’s evolved slowly (by design) over the century.

    So. You think you’re disapproving.
    I’m stating you’re lying.
    And you don’t know the difference.
    And that is one of the many civic ‘devotions’ we’re trying to repair.

    I’m sure you are a decent person.
    Cheers

    I do the science.
    I don’t have to like it.
    Disapproval is irrelevant.
    I don’t have the choice of comfortable lies.
    And over time, none of us do.

  • “Q: What is the difference between Continental and Analytic philosophy?” Anglo E

    “Q: What is the difference between Continental and Analytic philosophy?”

    Anglo Empiricism evolved from Law; Science evolved from Empiricism; and Anglo Analytic philosophy evolved from Science. It’s continuously deflationary. Anglo analytic philosophy attempted to develop Decidability (Truth)

    Continental Philosophy evolved from Literature. It is conflationary. Seeking to provide Wisdom (Good)

    The only ‘enlightenment’ was the Anglo empirical. The rest of the continent (French, German, Jewish, and Russian) retaliated against the empirical enlightenment with literature that attempted to preserve the authority of church and state in secular prose, using the method of argument and values of the nation(culture) of the authors that produced them. French Maternal Authoritarianism, German Duty, Ashkenazi Separatism, and Russian Nihilism.

    Continental philosophy is best categorized as Wisdom Literature: Literary Moral Fictionalism. (Plato)

    Anglo analytic philosophy is best categorized as Law: Science of Testimony. (Aristotle)

  • FINANCE NERD SUPERBOWL SEASON!!!! All us finance and econ geeks feel like we’re

    FINANCE NERD SUPERBOWL SEASON!!!!
    All us finance and econ geeks feel like we’re watching the superbowl. 😉

    It looks like everyone pulled down filings and financial reports over the weekend, spotted balance sheets that were similarly vunlerable to that of SVB, and booked sell orders.
    And you know who did that? Other finance and econ nerds. 😉
    See? Nerds have fun too!
    Like I said. It’s the superbowl for finance geeks. And we have teams, and players, and betting, and cheering crowds. 😉
    Finally we get some attention. We get social media, newspaper, television, and political coverage! I doubt we’ll get much approval though. We’re the only people who like our teams. 😉

    I love mankind really.
    Endlessly entertaining.
    Mostly for our foibles. 😉

    Interesting.
    Now if you knew anything about mathematics, the limits of mathematics, the limits of computatino that follow, and the necessity of supply-demand curves that follow that, and the use of ordinal logic to define supply demand curves because of the otherwise incommensurability of measures, then you’d never utter such a thing. But since as I’ve stated these are areas of my expertise I do. So, maybe read some gary stanley becker and learn behavioral econ, and hayek for informal capital, and popper for falsification, and chomsky for grammars, and a thousand other works of import.

    The fact that I use social media as a workshop does not make us peers. The fact that I respond to you does not make us peers. There arent many of them in the first place. And you couldn’t even get a seat in the nosebleed section, any more than the table.

    Just deal.
    Social may help you find some venue for self justification by pretentious dominancde expression that you cannot demonstrate by achievement in life. But I don’t have that problem either in industry or thought.

    Cheers
