dwaltrip commented on The share of Americans having regular sex keeps dropping   ifstudies.org/blog/the-se... · Posted by u/impish9208

I have very different thoughts: the more sexual women dress and act, the less sexual interaction from men in the long-run. Sure, at first everyone wants her, but many men don't want to marry and raise a family if mom publicly dresses/acts to attract other men's attention.

Also, an increasing percentage of men, especially younger ones, are becoming more and more conservative, whereas women become more liberal. The massive political divide vs. women is strong enough to prevent even friendly relationships across political beliefs.

Testosterone creates tension and a commanding attitude. Men naturally don't want to marry a feminist. Men want to marry a feminine woman, not a woman acting like a man. Women are literally a multi-faceted stress-ball for men: breasts, butt, etc are soothing to men. Downvote this comment if you want, blame some nonspecific "gender bias". It's nature; we're wired this way at the DNA level.

On a similar note, women weaponizing sex against men by initially advertising their assets, then withholding them unless they can control their men... it doesn't work in real relationships.

Then there's the race issue. Where I might get the most pushback: marrying someone from a significantly different culture is difficult. Might work for some, but a Southern American marrying a central-American immigrant is unlikely to work out in the long-term. Might be romantic and interesting, but culture is just so different. This is why diversity is not always a strength.

Don’t confuse security in oneself and confidence with “commanding”. They are not the same thing at all.

Women and men both want the former.

> women weaponizing sex against men by initially advertising their assets, then withholding them unless they can control their men

You need to spend more time with women who are emotionally mature. What you describe is childish behavior.

Keep in mind emotionally mature people will have less tolerance for bullshit or anti-social behavior.

Words don't represent thoughts in any way shape or form. They externalize bias as a pretext to communication, which is arbitary. Every word is a metaphor, every word is mythological. These are empirical facts developed from Aristotle, Cassirer, Halliday into Fedorenko, yet CS takes not note of it. Language has no form that refers or represents anything in reality in any sense of concatenation. They are gibberish. This is where humanity is off the rails. Word statements are only 'about' status, dominance, control. Statements in arbitrary words do not exist as references or representations. A statement like which person makes more accurate predictions is basically nonsense, it's applying arbitrary values to events subjectively. Once we understand prediction has nothing to do with how brains work, it's basically an animal that has no relationship to others or itself except as to extract value and control. The argument is simply over your head unless you grasp the fundamentals: words do not work. Please don't pretend others don't grasp these ideas, brilliant minds have been dissecting the illusions of words since Aristotle. "Marshall McLuhan's idea of the "schizophrenic alphabet" is a provocative metaphor for his theory that the phonetic alphabet fundamentally altered human consciousness, leading to a fragmented, detached, and individualistic psychology."

So you are saying that your words are arbitrary and meaningless? You are writing gibberish because you have no choice?

Nearly all in person interaction is a meaningless waste of time now. The only thing really left is sex and work. You're not supposed to have sex with your coworkers (if you even have a job where you work in person) and everyone is shamed for going to places specifically for sex so there's literally no way too initiate that kind of relationship anymore.

Please get help. It doesn’t have to be this way, I promise.

I mean, if you're doing all that _work_, at a certain point why bother with the LLM? The marketing promise of LLMs is "it's just magic", and unfortunately people do tend to believe the marketing.

I mean, I'd give a fair shake to an OS from the SQLite team [1].

First off, we don't use predictions, that's another model, it's false (Spontaneous Brain Northoff or read Mofakham's papers).

In terms of words, they barely represent and never reference. Any statement like that serves primarily status gain, not know knowledge transmission (I proved this from the first statement above as well).

The reality is CS built a math model from totally false premises as it relates to communication and knowledge. It works for efficient value trading using symbols in place of actions. Does it have a future, no.

The problem is how do we shift to a real neurodynamic system of sharing?

I think we are talking past each other.

The ideas you mention sound interesting, but I’m not sure what the point is.

No what you're describing is arbitrary and idiosyncratic. The brain doesn't use that to survive, it doesn't need them. Anything external to that is completely separate from thought. What you're describing is an arbitrary game for entertainment to fill up your time and confuse yourself and others. It has no relationship to the choices you would make to survive, and can only interfere with it. The "world model" you're describing is arbitrary fiction.

I don’t necessarily disagree with you, but I wonder if you are not being overly reductive / pedantic.

What is there then?

What words (heh) do you use to distinguish between someone who makes more accurate predictions about the world than someone else?

One other major factor I'd throw on the heap: traits / implementation traits. They act as both an interface system and as a sort of Extension Method system (as seen in c#).

But where-as with interfaces, typically they require you early define what your class implements. Rust gives you a late-bound-ish (still compile time but not defined in the original type) / Inversion of Control way to take whatever you've got and define new things for it. In most languages what types a thing has are defined by the library, but Rust not just allows but is built entirely around taking very simple abstract thing and constructing bigger and bigger toolkits of stuff around them. Very Non-zero sum in ways that languages rarely are.

There's a ton of similarity to Extension Methods, where more can get added to the type. But traits / impls are built much more deeply into rust, are how everything works. Extension Methods are also, afaik, just methods, where-as with Rust you really adding new types that an existing defined-elsewhere thing can express.

I find it super shocking (and not because duh) that Rust's borrow checking gets all the focus. Because the type system is such a refreshing open ended late-defined reversal of type system dogma, of defining everything ahead of time. It seems like such a superpower of Rust that you can keep adding typiness to a thing, keep expanding what a thing can do. The inversion here is, imo, one of the real largely unseen sources of glory for why Rust keeps succeeding: you don't need to fully consider the entire type system of your program ahead of time, you can layer in typing onto existing types as you please, as fits, as makes sense, and that is a far more dynamic static type system than the same old highly constrained static type dreck we've suffered for decades. Massive break forward: static, but still rather dynamic (at compile time).

What if the guy who built the world’s best rocket from scratch, who popularized EVs and brought self-driving tech to the masses, who built brain computer interfaces, dug tunnels, started OpenAI and PayPal…

What if he’s not an idiot?

What if we should actually be listening to what this guy says and considering it?

What if he has the same ability to see what nobody else can see early on in politics…

As he’s shown across the rest of his career?

What if he isn’t an idiot and has accomplished very impressive things, but has started acting like an idiot due to severe personal issues?
