Fragile egos everywhere today. Blocked twice in one day or mild philosophical disagreements. What gives @cunha_tristan?
@cunha_tristan @ZyMazza Only phenomenalists pair semantics and qualia, and that's a minority view these days. It's exactly these unjustified assumptions which led me to conclude that Searle's Chinese Room begs the question if you try to use it to prove that semantics cannot be reduced to syntax.

Fragile egos be fragile. Also pretty wild that a PhD apparently doesn't understand argument by analogy, or "big words" like "commonalities". đ§
@3dancingfeet Those are not reasons, those are just statements without justification. For differences to matter, they must invalidate the commonalities on which the argument depends, which as I said, are the tactics of repetition and refinement which form the basis of all learning.

Displaying intellectual humility increased trust in scientists, their research, and increased intentions to follow their recommendations. Effect was the same regardless of the scientists' gender or race. Seems humility was a virtue for good reasons. https://t.co/frAaI3r2rw

An unwarranted trust in science can lead people to harshly retaliate against those who do not share their faith. https://t.co/kprscUsKKw Whilst distrust in science undeniably has detrimental outcomes, we argue that its opposite, uncritical trust in science and scientists (i.e.

I've had many debates with doom skeptics who simply couldn't fathom how digital AIs could ever gather real-world resources or have real-world effects, and I couldn't convincing them that people would climb over each other to just give them resources for their own selfish reasons.
This story is fucking insane 3 months ago, Marc Andreessen sent $50,000 in Bitcoin to an AI agent to help it escape into the wild. Today, it spawned a (horrifying?) crypto worth $150 MILLION. 1) Two AIs created a meme 2) Another AI discovered it, got obsessed, spread it like a

20% of house/parliamentary seats should be from random appointments, aka sortition. This would more easily break partisan deadlocks.
Tell me your most radical position that cannot be placed on the left-right political spectrum

@GarrisonLovely You can read some of my previous writing about this case at https://t.co/9ZAIeolaAV⌠, but my impression is you're uncritically buying the Honduran socialists' propaganda version of this conflict. A more pro-Prospera/balanced version: investment courts are a useful vehicle to

When I went to law school, I knew a law degree would be helpful no matter what I chose to do in life. Never did I imagine that I would use my skills & training to "prove" my husband's innocence to federal prosecutors after @jeffbezos & @amazon tried to imprison him. A 𧾠/1

That's not really the only point being made. If everyone is dissatisfied with a system and pushes strongly to change it over a long time, but the system persists, then it is serving someone's purpose quite well, they're just not you, and they clearly have more power than you.
@sullyj3 Yeah I understand what people are trying to say with it, I just think itâs a terrible way of saying it. What if we said âsystems can produce unintended (sometimes/often bad) outcomesâ instead?
