linguistic rules override physics pedantry.

Idk why, maybe because I’m a scientist, but this speaks to something in my soul

Where’s the original?

Yeah, good point. I agree that calling-in is better than calling-out, when it seems viable. There’s always the trade-off with how much energy you have available though.

Yes. My point is that everyone is on the spectrum, and a purely rational mode of decision-making does not exist in humans. Every decision has emotional components.

I never said that decisions are purely emotional.

Ah, ignoring evidence because it doesn’t support your pre-existing views. Text-book case of confirmation bias 😊

Oh yeah, I guess. I mostly associate it with actual voting

Yes, but they are inextricably influencing each other. Both are subsets of reality.

What is the value of tolerating trolls?

Guess we know where you sit on the Trolley Problem spectrum :P

This seems distinctly not a leopards eating faces moment?

Weird though… Nice to see them fracturing a bit. Hard to be optimistic though…

edit: horrific autocorrects

Modern psychology and neuroscience agrees with me. Eg. https://neurosciencenews.com/emotion-reason-decision-making-25803/

Or have a read of Kahneman’s Thinking Fast and Thinking Slow if you want something a bit deeper.

The human brain is packed full of inescapable cognitive biases, many of which relate to emotions. They occur just as much for you as for me, and ignoring them or denying them just makes the problem worse.

Why does that matter, for this particular message? Netanyahu is making decisions on behalf of Israel, no?

Yeh… now that I think about it, It’s got a very “my point is far more important than the one I’m replying to” vibe, which is almost never true in reality. Narcissist-focused design.

Bro, you do it too, you just don’t admit it to yourself.

Also, we don’t actually know which way we need to roll it. Some people have strong ideas, other understand the vague direction but there’s lots of invisible obstacles strewn across the landscape, and whenever we hit one there are a hundred different people with a thousand different explanations about what the fuck just happened.

Is being an intellectual mutually exclusive with having emotions? Because as far as I know all people have emotions…

Very good take.

I complained to a partner once about something they’d done that seemed vaguely unethical (by my understanding of their ethics). After they apologised, I was still upset, and they said “maybe I’m a little bit shit, just like everyone else.”

That really stuck with me. People (including myself) are often OK with accepting imperfections in other people in some spaces, but not in others. It’s pretty weird… Life is messy, even the bits that seems straightforward. And no one has a perfect understanding of any situation…

The bottom one was the original. The reply is the top - it’s quote-tweeting the original. The reply also has a screenshot of an older tweet attached (middle).

The community note thing is on the original, that’s separate.

Agree it’s confusing, even though I know why it’s like that

That’s what I made !complexity@lemmy.world for 😁
