I don't care what you think of me, only how you came to think it.
Notes (10)
When I'm insecure about something my natural reaction is to be withdrawn, and to take the time to consider both sides of whatever I'm insecure about. I just feel an aversion to taking my insecurity out on others, and forcing other people to face down the same kinds of problems that I struggle with.
This is a real problem of mine. I need to work on overcoming my natural shyness so that I can instead focus on trying to humiliate people every time I see them succeed with something I struggled at.
There are three ways to respond to people who you believe are making inauthentic arguments. Firstly, if you believe their argument is bqd, but only because they are articulating their point poorly, then you can say "well, there's an easy counter-argument, but I think you have a deeper reason for disagreeing, so I am going to try to address your argument without relying on the shallow response." This response is know as steel-manning the argument.
Another response, if you believe that the person's literal argument is really good, but doesn't represent the person's ACTUAL beliefs is to say "actually I'm going to ignore what you said because I'm pretty sure your real thoughts are far dumber, and here's why..." this is know as steel manning.
The last response is to say "I'm tired of listening to you. I'm going to go sit on my couch and rewatch some old Denver Bronco football games. Do you see that quarterback on the screen right there? He was probably one of the best foorball players of all time." This is Peyton Manning.
Some people say that chastity is important for a relationship, and they warn about the dangers of meaningless sex. But the simple truth is that while it's not the MOST important part of a relationship, every other aspect of the relationship is guarunteed to suffer if you are not regularly raping your partner.
Man these ads are getting sophisticated. I've watched like 5 of them and I don't even understand what this guy is selling.
I love the C language because it lets me use negative array indexes without judging me or telling me I'm not supposed to do that. Makes implementing fancy string functions so much nicer.
A study was done on humans' ability to perform tasks, and the study concluded that human processing has a maximum throughput of 10 bits per second. Only 10! This is an absolutely absurd statement considering the ridiculous amount of information recieved by our senses and dispatched to our muscles.
However, researchers are at least performing real experiments and examining real data. Presumably this number has SOME sort of reasonable interpretation, if not as the "information throughput" of a human being.
I propose that this figure is simply the maximum rate of human belief formation. It is only our actual interpretation of our immediate environment which is so limited. In reality, humans can process megabytes of data instantly, form a single simple conclusion, and then form a sophisticated response immediately afterward. We are still limited, it's just that the way the researchers describe that limit is very misleading.
You have probably heard the saying: great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people.
But what you likely haven't heard is that anyone who says that they care about facts and truth is one of those people who is interested in events or people.
Far too often people use facts and truth as a shield to avoid having to confront challenging ideas, and other people use arguments about what is true as a distraction to avoid having to argue about higher concepts. Don't let people pull you into that trap.
When a person is always advertizing their political, social, or religious beliefs, say with a bumper sticker for example, it's good evidence that they don't get to have nearly enough good arguments with other people. An especially strong sign is if their messages seem out of touch at all.
As interconnected as our society is, I think it's not nearly enough.
