Everything I write is “translated”…

Normal people usually have an innate-mind-language of either

• visual-cognition
• auditory-cognition
• kinesthetic-cognition

I think in abstract-shapes, & have to translate from abstract-forms into English, & it is … frustrating & tiresome … to accomplish this,

& it’s required ALL the time.

Maybe someday I’ll go read what the discussion was, to figure-out if I was having a bad day, that day, & try correcting it…

Ah, but are we not professional shitposters, monsieur??

& through our professionalism, as shitposters, our … lack of scientific credentials … can be excused, oui?

Spamming & self-promotion are 2 separate things you say, but try telling that to Dr. Al Sears, who’s a shill…

Go look-up “paper mill” science…

This article’s existence suggests that Retraction Watch should be checked, as a prerequisite to one’s posting anything!

Call it Ouranos, & commenter-asininity should be reduced.

Explicitly mention in the rules, that if someone finds an item on some not-allowed-source interesting,

then they should go look-for a proper-science article giving the same core-meaning

& that would be acceptable.

There’s a principle that the most-famous-convict-in-the-world held-to, that Science is supposed to also hold-to…

“it doesn’t matter who says it: if it’s True, then it’s True, end-of-story.”

I’ve seen “authorities” assert that there is “no scientific evidence” or “no valid evidence” for some supplement, then simply gone on PubMed & found 800-ish peer-reviewed articles on exactly that supplement, so the “authorities” are just pushing ideology/prejudice, since evidence has been contradicting them for years, before they made their “authoritative” declaration…

I’m kinda fed-up with Scientism masquerading & gaslighting as Empiricism, you know?

( & this doesn’t even touch the nobody will do the experiment, therefore there’s no “evidence” because nobody “can afford” to assert the evidence bullshit…

A South Korean experiment, iirc, years ago, did a single-plutonium-atom-in-each-of-some-mice experiment, letting the mice reproduce, & then cracking whether there was any statistically-significant-cancer-rate-difference in the plutonium-adulterated lineages, vs the others…

& discovered that there is…

But, of course, if THAT were replicated, then … ALL nuclear-safety-regulations would be trashed, because the multiple-generations-tests are NOT done, because we CAN’T afford to know that!!, right??

Same with the “we don’t know what could be causing The Cold Blob™ off of Greenland, but we won’t include Greenland ice-melt in our climate-models, so therefore there’s NO SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE that that’s what it is!!” gaslighting…

NOW they’ve done that inclusion, & discovered that AMOC began shutting-off around 1950, & this-decade will see about 1,000,000+ fewer cubic km of flow, than the 1940-1950 decade ( Nature Geoscience for that article, it was linked from Earth.com, a few days ago )…

Won’t-do-the-experiment is itself pseudoscience!!

Feel free to delete my comment from this discussion, since it contradicts consensus/Scientism’s establishment…

Here’s the AMOC-is-shutting-down, will be down 33% at 2C, article:

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41561-024-01568-1

Here’s The Cold Blob whose source hasn’t been scientifically established, to use their phrase:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_blob

( seriously: what ELSE could be its source??

Greenland’s nearly-6k-cubic-km in the last few years icemelt HAS to go somewhere, right?

Isn’t considered-reasoning part of The Scientific Method, anymore?

Reading the PDF…

The “most preferred leadership behavior” is … being male?

Uncertainty-avoidance ( that’s a Hofstede dimension, why do they seem to be claiming otherwise? ) is 2nd, which explains why ideology/prejudice, Kahneman1-mind, for anybody who has read his “Thinking Fast and Slow”, on the 2 mind-systems, is preferred to considered-reasoning!

Damn…

Humankind … hasn’t got a chance in hell, … of surviving this century’s challenges,

has it?

That kind of polarization/programming … is completely incompatible with species-wide adapting.

Here are some background links, for you people:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hofstede's_cultural_dimensions_theory#Dimensions_of_national_cultures

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_leadership

I think they really missed a trick, by not looking into whether Kegan4 or Kegan5 is preferred, in leadership, in different cultures ( though Hofstede’s Success-orientation, formerly “masculinity”, would be a reliable indicator for Kegan4 & against Kegan5 )…

Kegan4’s … bulling-boss mode, it’s a stage-of-unconscious-mind-development which is pushing-out-unacceptable-meaning, & its instinct “knows” that validity is zero-sum: anybody else having any validity, that costs one’s own ( exclusive ) validity.

Kegan5’s … systems-of-systems mode.

scroll down a bit, from this link, & read the table…

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Kegan#The_Evolving_Self

Kegan & Lahey’s book “Immunity to Change” is on 3, 4, & 5, & how not getting one’s unconscious-mind to change utterly destroys potential, for little reason.

They provide leverages for getting one’s unconscious to grow-up, too…

Oh, this need be added:

Lanier never published in academia, ttbomk, only through her book…

However, Universe couldn’t possibly care if a meaning is published outside, or inside, of academia’s filter-bubble, crowded as it now is with “paper mills” and their fake-science publications…

Scientific Method is the ONLY test for Truth of something, right?

Lanier’s stuff tests-out.

Contempting it, because a particular filter-bubble hasn’t “authorized” it to be True in Universe’s eyes, is … cultural chauvanism, & nothing else…

Universe isn’t, in any way whatsoever, dependent on academic-filter-bubble for What It Holds To Be True, right?

I’ve a test of her Tropical culture vs Nordic culture that for me hammers-it-home:

I’ve spent years as a homeless person, including out in the bush.

WHEN failure to do something oneself WILL terminate one’s life in the cold, THEN one gets off one’s ass & doesn’t rely on “society” to “take care of one”, right?

That isn’t in Tropical culture, only in cultures where cold threatens individual-survival/viability.

People can debate all they want about whether it’s significant, or not, or valid, or not,

but … go out there & put your life on the line for a few winters & see if it alters your instincts, or not, eh?

I say it does, & that no amount of ideological bullshit can falsify the evidence that direct-experiment produced, in altering me.

People who won’t do the experiment say “it isn’t proven”, & they won’t accept the testimony of people who have done the experiment…

Hence my inability to respect ivory-tower “authority” which won’t do the experiment, rejects evidence contradicting its filter-bubble, etc…

Do the experiment , that is rule number ZERO, right?

Empiricism!

Lanier’s stuff checks-out, through & through, & its not having been published within academia’s filter-bubble in no way, whatsoever, negates its validity.

_ /\ _

This seems spot-on.

I do wish, however, that it wasn’t only Hofstede’s research that was being used as a reference, as Lanier’s “Foreign to Familiar” is, while identifying fewer dimensions, every bit as fundamental as Hofstede’s “Exploring Culture” book is…

Lanier identifies the Tropical vs Nordic cultural dimension, & also the old-culture vs new-culture dimension,

neither of which Hofstede seems to have acknowledged.

Lanier isn’t male, of course, so expecting male-academia to do anything other than ignore her work … isn’t going to accomplish anything, this century, is it?

& as for the people who automatically-contempt automatic-machine-learning, it’s a brilliant use of technology:

let the machine identify what the factors are, & which way they’re going, in the different cultures.

Think of it as enhanced data-mining, & that’s the best idea to know it as, really…

Not even slightly related to the generative-LLMs with their hallucinations, at all.

This article is a treasure: to the one who posted this, https://lemmy.world/u/Joker@sh.itjust.works , Thank You!

Beautifully incisive.

Isn’t that interesting…

The anbility to prevent the getting-out of evidence of what the authorities do to the locals…

Just like the unconstitutional state-laws which criminalize capturing-of-video-evidene of police executing people…

“I wonder” if this would ever be abused by anti-accountability authorities…

( remember that the whole Christian religion is founded on a guy who was a kind of whistleblower, & had spikes hammered through his wrists, in his crucifixion, for his calling the legalists “hypocrites”…

I wonder how “Christian” he’d find them to be, if he returned, & saw what they’re doing? )

Human nature & demon nature seem … related?

or is that too harsh?

… perhaps … but wasn’t the Inquisition demon-law in the name of benJoseph?

hmm…
