  • Yep, that one where the person on the peak starts lecturing you in abstract terms about trying the simplest hypotheses and such, while you are trying to solve their problem.

    I know the philosophy part that asshole is talking about, only he has no bloody clue which part is simple and which is not here.

    It was a hang port on a switch in that case.








  • Yes, only it’s generally unpleasant to say condescending stuff of the “I’ve got you figured out and I see this thing deeper than you” kind to someone who’s very well familiar with the thing in question when you are not.

    And in personal experience

    to try and show an interest in something you like

    people ask questions.

    Why does every idiot who is not a Star Wars fan think that repeating the normie stereotype about it is very smart? Which is this pic BTW.

    Star Wars since the OT and till around 2006 had very clear borders between, 1, that which doesn’t get mentioned, but follows from what’s shown, 2, that which doesn’t get explained, 3, that which is explained by magic, 4, that which has decent, but very roughly cut sci-fi descriptions and, finally, 5, that which is taken seriously.

    Disney doesn’t understand how to use any of these categories, especially that core plot points can only belong to #5, that #1 is not just fan imagination, but part of the paradigm, that #2 is not a box for everything lazy, that #3 cannot be center of the plot, and that #4 is still necessary.






  • May have something to do with computers as they exist being defined by male psychology. Well, it’s understandable why swords, guns, rockets are, and same with computers.

    Basically sending instructions to change state. I don’t know how can a computer exist which doesn’t work like this and is still usable for the humanity, but this seems to be psychologically a bit more of a male thing. Maybe there’s nothing problematic for women but aesthetics there.

    If it’s something deeper, then maybe some analog optical\quantum\whatever computers of the future will push us to change paradigms for some drastic change in efficiency. And maybe those new paradigms will be more appealing to women.






  • Ideologies aren’t about dogmatism, but about coherent groups of conclusions based on underlying analysis.

    This sentence translates to choosing a model and then trying to hammer the reality to fit under it. Which is obviously dogmatism.

    The funniest part is that leftist pseudointellectualism, where there is no actual discussion happening, but a leftist thinks there is because of the tone they use. Also hints at them acting this way in other situations, that is, being used to dogmatism.

    Without dogmatism people change models like tools, each one for its own job. They don’t call themselves any kind of -ist.

    It’s pretty telling that you out yourself as a Libertarian though, lmao.

    Literally the opposite of what I’ve said, lmao. Reading comprehension skills on par with your self-identification.
