why do people post this kind of stuff "stopped reading right ....". congrats now we all know you're too arrogant and too impatient to finish a 1000 word essay. don't you realize that dismissing the bulk of the text based on just one comment is ignorant? do you think it matters to anyone what you even think relative to this person? do you think you have some deep insight that others don't (such that they don't already realize that that particular point should be contextualized appropriately). I just don't understand people constantly trying to assert their delusional superiority at every vague opportunity - let me kindly inform you that op posting this wasn't an invitation.
- JoshCole 8y agoWorth noting that probabilistic reasoning via approximations are actually pretty cool. Its just that the same sort of thing that makes them great is also a thing which makes them terrible. The upside of not being thorough is being fast and the downside in being fast is not being through. I find it neat that the person arguing for speed is employing heuristics which short circuit reading. A great way to look at human biases is through the lens of the good they cause. It makes them all make sense in a way that looking at them through the lens of failure cases doesn't. The world is awe inspiring in its complexity and coping with that efficiently and in real time requires trade offs. Catch the same person who appears delusional in one real-time context at a time wherein they can think for longer and their thinking can become much more logical and mathematical.
- andrepd 8y agoIt was hyperbole. I did actually read the rest of the points, I just didn't pay any more attention to that one. I don't feel any kind of superiority, I was just voicing my opinion. Maybe you're projecting?
