What are examples of problems you couldn't solve with your mind?
- Ididntdothis 7y agoEver been in a relationship? There are a lot of problems you can’t just solve with rational thinking.
- vorpalhex 7y agoEmotional intelligence and empathy are still part of the mind.

- vanderZwan 7y agoThe original comment mentioned rational minds, which is relying on neither of those things.
- stonogo 7y agoRational was an adjective. If you think that "rationality" is some objective feature that humanity can separate from emotions, you are deluded.
- vanderZwan 7y agoThis reply somehow gets and misses what I was trying to get at. No, of course I don't believe rationality is like that. The implicit point was that many people in tech do have an attitude like this. They overvalue their "objective" rational reasoning, ironically due to irrational needs.
- jodrellblank 7y agoProblems which can't be expressed as a ratio.
- namanyayg 7y agoAny that involves interaction with multiple people; you cannot predict others, especially since most people don't always act fully rationally.
- tbs_ 7y agoNo one always acts fully rationally
- bawolff 7y agoI think people say that others dont act rationally, when really they just don't understand the other person's goals and how their behaviour contributes to their goals. If i pass up $100 to get a burger, am i acting irrationally? It depends if i'm hungry. It depends how much $100 means to me (Am i bill gates?). Its impossible to say from the outside. I'm convinced much behaviour is basically the same except much more complex with multiple conflicting priorities.
- tonyh249 7y agoNo, people really just don't think rationally. Read Daniel Kahneman. It's been studied extensively.
- drinfinity 7y agoBroken heart Broken leg Blindness Losing a child Having a low (or too high) IQ Having severe mental disorder(s)
- slumdev 7y agoThis is what happens when you run country music through lossy compression.
- krick 7y agoOk, this was funny.
- Sohcahtoa82 7y agoNeeds a "Broken truck" line.
- 1000units 7y agoThere's no such thing as an IQ too high. This is always some other problem like anxiety.
- halfnormalform 7y agoUnless you're trying to be a police officer in the USA, then an IQ too high is absolutely a real thing.
- 1000units 7y agoIn this situation one can use her high IQ to ham her IQ test.
- numpad0 7y agoSome 80% or so of worlds’ problems are human interfacing problems than mathematical-engineering challenges, and its best to exploit native ability to handle it that we all received when born.
- texasbigdata 7y ago-Job loss -Romantic losses -Self compassion -Self care Conceptually, think about how many times your friends have an issue that seems trivial for you (on the outside) to fix. Surely the same applies to you. Especially if you're high functioning, by definition anything left to work on is relatively outside your awareness and can't be solved from the "inside".
- Izkata 7y agoYou need blank lines for the pseudo-bullets to not combine together like this. (Caught my eye quickly scrolling down because they look like java command-line options)
- collyw 7y agoWorld peace.
