My only mistake in terms of predicting the AI was that the correlation/association-based-AI aka the monkeylike AI would be as comparably different fro...

Okay... I'm starting to realize, why you are so confused and can't understand my arguments. Your brain is constantly trying to figure out my attitudes...
December 21, 2021 at 13:19
Hmmhhh... or are you trying to argue that we should not express pro inequality arguments precisely because of respectfulness and politeness? I only us...
December 21, 2021 at 12:09
Freedom of speech is a principle that supports the freedom of an individual or a community to articulate their opinions and ideas without fear of reta...
December 21, 2021 at 10:55
You seem to be generalizing freedom of speech to only mean legal freedom of speech. I disagree. For an extreme example, let's say there is a country w...
December 21, 2021 at 08:06
Examples tend to be rather specific by their nature... I improvised those examples when I wrote that. If you want to find some ulterior motives for me...
December 21, 2021 at 06:59
As I have said above, I don't have a problem in this thread with people talking about equality in the context of how people talk about equality as it'...
December 21, 2021 at 06:28
While it's true that racism and stuff like that has existed since time immemorial and that this has been a very controversial issue even in scientific...
December 20, 2021 at 16:31
Well, let's say I want to reproduce with someone, but it turns out that 80% of that persons family has a very serious genetic disorder. That would mos...
December 20, 2021 at 16:20
I don't think value judgments are or should be a part of genetics... But genetics can be used and is being used as justifications and arguments for va...
December 20, 2021 at 16:12
I did specify what I meant with the modern equality movement in the original text and subsequent posts. But I do agree that that term I have come up w...
December 20, 2021 at 16:07
I don't really have a specific kind of equality in mind, when I talk about the methodologies of discourse on equality. Most of my expertise related to...
December 20, 2021 at 15:53
Finns and the swedes, texans and new yorkers, ancient people in britain and ancient people in china, your family and the family next door... Any two d...
December 20, 2021 at 15:41
Hmmhhh... I was talking about the controversy, that has been going since at least Darwins times of whether there are differences in capability between...
December 20, 2021 at 15:33
Yeah... I get that... And I agree that "free for all freedom of speech" is not possible or even particularly desirable in society. Humans are humans a...
December 20, 2021 at 06:41
You seem to be simplifying the modern discourse about equality to be only about legal or moral equality, which is of course not a scientific question,...
December 20, 2021 at 05:55
I mean no disrespect, but could you please refrain from making this discussion about specifically american politics?... Covid in america and Trump see...
December 18, 2021 at 05:19
Well... I used quite simple and short terms to express that people have a tendency to attribute things that are considered "success" to their genes an...
December 18, 2021 at 00:52
To me, your methodology would have steered this thread into talking about, what equality is, which is not the point of this thread... This is a thread...
December 17, 2021 at 16:57
Well, I couldn't start to make any definitions or claims or even questions about what things like equality or genetic differences mean, because I was ...
December 17, 2021 at 16:38
I'm pretty sure, that if I started a discussion about whether we should be able to freely argue about when breaking the law is the correct thing to do...
December 17, 2021 at 15:20
Oh, don't worry... With a person like you, who can't make arguments and just spits out random accusations, ad hominems, strawmans and assumptions, the...
December 17, 2021 at 15:00
There could also be a culture barrier here. I'm from Finland and Finland has relatively little bad history with things like colonialism, slavery, non ...
December 17, 2021 at 14:52
This is the classic naive idea of free speech that those who have been against free speech have used since the beginning of that debate: "Oh, you want...
December 17, 2021 at 14:15
Well, I meant that my unspecified idea of freedom of speech is always more important than equality... Of course for many reasons, you cant have total ...
December 17, 2021 at 05:31
I was referring to this... To me it seems like you are claiming that I'm making a case for racial differences and such to be genetic and its somehow i...
December 17, 2021 at 04:03
its just a term I have come up with to describe how in modern western countries equality is fought for and defended... Everytime anyone does anything ...
December 17, 2021 at 03:49
When I considered myself a part of the equality movement, I saw us treating people, who argued against genetic equality, very badly and in a way, that...
December 17, 2021 at 03:38
But then again... modern equality movement often requires to take the absolute extreme position of absolute faith in genes having nothing to do with f...
December 17, 2021 at 03:20
It seems like, you truly think that a person who is on the equality side of the argument, but who disapproves your obviously bad methodology is imposs...
December 17, 2021 at 02:57
When did I make a case that racial differences in intelligence or other characteristics are genetic? I havent specified my stance on the issue nor is ...
December 17, 2021 at 02:49
It seems like you didnt understand the subject... the text clearly didnt talk about whether or not people are inequal... it talks about the methods mo...
December 17, 2021 at 02:36
I didn't make any claims about people being inequal nor did i specify my stances on the issue anymore than that i do think inequality is a problem. Yo...
December 17, 2021 at 02:30
i'm not actually proposing that... teaching of scientific method is actually already a part of most curriculums... i'm actually proposing of teaching ...
November 23, 2021 at 12:47
Because of the practicalities of knowledge its pretty much impossible to not know any probabilities of what results any particular methodology brings....
November 22, 2021 at 23:02
I think you are equating "a methodology to teach people methodology" which doesnt care about what methodology the students end up with... you are equa...
November 22, 2021 at 22:25
I guess as a subject goes through the objective facts of what kind of methodologies are associated with certain subjects like creationism and modern s...
November 22, 2021 at 22:18
Btw... just came up with a way to teach people stuff without any affirmation of values... just teach totally randomized things... of course the practi...
November 22, 2021 at 21:08
What i have represented is a very conservative and non revolutionary idea to try... just to make a subject that concentrates as objectively and as wit...
November 22, 2021 at 20:53
Well, my main point was to not teach people strict rules on "how to think correctly"... I pretty much believe that people would in general make better...
November 22, 2021 at 20:47
for example: modern scientific method is a methodology, that seems capable of achieving more objective truths than its predecessors... and the main in...
November 22, 2021 at 20:39
Its not just about having maximally positive feelings... Being a very stable system can feel quite nice even if you're not maximally stable.
May 01, 2021 at 15:50
The way I would say the descartes-thing would be: "I experience, therefore my experience exists for me." probably a more foolproof way of trying to pr...
April 28, 2021 at 08:25
I do agree that it does not demonstrate that it formally proves anything except "my thinking" existing... I haven't really read Descartes, so I though...
April 28, 2021 at 08:21
sorry... i am in a hurry... I read it very fast and it seemed like the zeno's paradox... was it about something else?
April 28, 2021 at 08:17
"I think, therefore I am" Is a formal logical necessity and if Nietzsche disagreed with that, he was wrong... My argument is about the capability of a...
April 28, 2021 at 08:13
for example: if a defined time represented a defined group of distances, there would not be a problem with this paradox. although... time would have t...
April 28, 2021 at 07:43
A classic paradox, but not necessarily a true paradox since it assumes that distance can be divided into infinite number of distances which modern qua...
April 28, 2021 at 07:40
other way to demonstrate this problem is the infinite regression you end up with, when you try to prove that you have understood your proofs correctly...
April 28, 2021 at 07:17
Since my criticism is pretty much: even logical necessities can't be trusted completely since it's impossible to prove that we have understood them co...
