Thanks for the writeup. The very next day after, the phrase "interpretive labour" occured naturally in my internal monologue. It's as if I'd been carrying around the concept hole / shape for quite a while.
"ahh finally, I've a way to refer to that thing." I wonder what thinking looks like before you have a handy pointer. You have to move the felt sense around all the time? A word coining seems like the creation of a central Blegg/Rube node in the network.
Wonder if some folks find interpretive labour enjoyable. Currently,...
I'd been watching an improv comedy show on YouTube for some time. A family member walked past, and feeling somewhat embarrassed, I switched to an entertaining maths video. Pretty much immediately a wave of tiredness hit me, so much so I had to rest my head on my arms.
The lotus nature of the videos meant I had been ignoring my need for sleep for at least an hour.
I think lotus eating requires a lack of awareness. You feel that quiet tension, as if something's a little off. But once you're in, game over.
How do I unsubscribe from someone?
When visiting someones profile who I'm already subscribed to the only avalible option is "Subscribe to this user's posts". Clicking this makes "Unsubscribe to this user's posts" appears then disappears with an error "GraphQL error: Cannot query field "subscribedItems" on type "User"."
(apologies if this is not the right place for this type of question)
This post really captured my attention. So much so I read it and most of the comments thrice.
Two of Valentine's claims:
A) Certan types of things are meta-cognitive blindspots (cfar jargon). For example, alcohol impairs your driving ability, it also impairs the ability to tell whether or not you're okay to drive. Given you've had N drinks, the feeling of "I'm okay to drive" is not to be trusted. Another example is recognising good outfits, If you're lacking in fashion sense you can't tell whether or not the clothes y...
Strong empathy with:
"anguished, torn, anxious, no-ground-beneath-my-feet feeling ... lose their grip on ... something ..."
I also described this feeling as "philosophies are sharp". I hadn't considered an oscillation model.
Updated more towards large unpleasant emotions can come from bad epistemics.
Some group-rationality articles:
Quoting Sarah Constantin from The Craft is not the Community:
" “Company culture” is not, as I’ve learned, a list of slogans on a poster. Culture consists of the empirical patterns of what’s rewarded and punished within the company. Do people win promotions and praise by hitting sales targets? By coming up with ideas? By playing nice? These patterns reveal what the company actually values."
Also a segment from Melting Asphalt's wonderful Crony Beliefs.
What is the company culture of your mind?:
"By way of a
There is a technique called belief reporting developed by Leverage Research. My take is that it lets you check if you alief something. It involves intentions.
Intentions, briefly: Place a cup on the table. Hold the intention not to pick up the cup. Try to pick up the cup.
One of two things happens - you can't pick up the cup. Or you release the intention. If you can't pick up the cup you may feel a physical pressure. Straining against yourself.
Belief reporting is where you hold the intention to only say true things. I feel this as a firmness in m...
Good signs you're playing on hard mode.
Though nature doesn't grade a curve.
I appreciate interlinking with other pseudo-cannon. SSC, Kaj, yourself etc.
Concepts are stronger in context.
Great talk!
I feel excitement at noticing the existence of models that I don't yet have. As many of your "one-liners" felt like whole threads of their own:
- The legacy code of floppy disks in nuclear silos. And how one might place greater trust in older systems.
- The somewhat "naivety" of American society toward fake news. And whether that's a feature of high trust societies.
- That perhaps the replication crisis may be viewed as a strength of the field of psychology for noticing the problem.
- That CPU production is only possible d
