I’m sorry that’s what I meant the dialect used by the rulers.

The conditional probability assumed in the real world carries over to the data representation world simply because it’s trying to model the same phenomenon in the real world, despite it’s coarse grained nature. Without the conditional probability, we wouldn’t be able to make the same strong inferences that match up to the real world. The causality is part of the data. If you use a different casual relationship, the end model would be different, and you would be solving a very different problem than if you applied the real world casual relationship.
Conditional probability should be reflected if given enough data points. When you introduce human labeling into the equation, you are adding another uncertainty about the accuracy of the human doing the labeling, regardless whether the inaccuracy came from his own false sense of conditional independence. Usually human labeling don’t directly take into account of any conditional probability to not mess with the conditionals that exist within the data set. That’s why the more data the better, which also means the more labelers you have the less dependent you are on the inaccuracy of any individual human.
Sometimes we figure out the conditional in/dependence by looking at the data. It may not match common sense intuition, but if your model takes that into account and gives better results, then they just keep the conditional independence in there. You are only able to do with what you have. Lack of attributes may force you to rely on other dependencies for better predictions.
I’d love to meet lsusr. I hiked with my family and their friends many times when I lived closer to tiger mountain. It’s a rather easy hike but the trail is very nice to look at. Early mornings are the best for the fog effect at tiger mountain. Logistics might be difficult to get to the park by bus only.
There just aren’t enough people in the market for specialization. If you only find one person for a specific task and need, you both have that specific need satisfied for each other, but both of you need to seek out others for your other needs. If you go to the extreme of depersonalization and say someone specialize in sex only, like sex workers, they can only serve so many customers. Then you have people who specialize in all the other stuff you’ve mentioned, intellectual companionship, long term relationship, child rearing. Maybe you can see how the logistics just breaks down based on our basic human conditions, especially the emotional aspect of each profession.
Relationships aren’t like jobs where you are paid in money for a specific service. Relationships are about spending time together doing whatever you happen to like to do together. Sometimes you want to have sex, sometimes you want to do watch TV, sometimes you want to talk about stuff. Maybe if we are all robots then people won’t feel jealous of others in a polyamorous relationship based on the services they provide. Maybe you can just pay people to do those things for you without having to be in a amorous relationship with them if you have the money to do so.
Language is an extension and a more developed form of the drawings on the cave walls.
An example of social status without any attempt to provide anything of real substance: https://old.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/p47gki/what_do_you_consider_the_biggest_threat_to/h8woqs7/
Mathematical forms are a reduction of language in an attempt to make obvious through simplification and a more rigid form and grammar of the organization of ideas.
The only reason ivy league MBA has easier time is because the symbol is used as a shortcut of the actual vetting process of qualifications, so are most social status symbols. They indicate certain qualities and expertise on certain topics because of the general process involved in getting those status symbols in the first place. Of course the actual usefulness of the individuals have to be vetted by doing real work. Outside of playing a role in the production of actual substance, they are mostly used in human social interactions and communications to induce specific positive emotions in said individuals.
I do think a lot of it comes from evolutionary imperatives. Sex came before tribes. Platonic friendships come and go but we don’t really feel emotionally hurt from them. Polyamory is a mixture of those two main types of interpersonal relationships. For polyamory to become the default, the very foundation of society has to change for children to grow up and develop a very different set of normative behaviors. Of course other aspects of life would change along with it such as who makes money for the family, the institutions that people develop their world view and grow up in such as school and workplace, etc. The current structure of our societal institutions came out of those ancient paradigms of interpersonal relationships as the distinct concept of school and workplace has existed in almost identical forms for a very long time.
The association transitivity is applied on the individual level rather than on the ideas of the individuals. Most individual’s beliefs and thoughts may remain almost static through time, and maybe it became the default level of association transitivity because of it.
As you said that actually being uncertain really doesn’t happen because the development of concrete world view is important for survival as the person grows up from childhood. Schools certainly don’t focus much on uncertainty itself. It has to be derived from the individual’s own willingness to seek out alternatives and develop the habit of uncertainty mindset by reading a bit too much.
Society at large don’t encourage uncertainty mainly because it is inefficient to apply on a massive scale. It would lead to too much chaos and misunderstanding. People wouldn’t be able to communicate effectively. Having the luxury to be uncertain is not something most people can afford, which would lead to a very different type of societal structure and interoperability.
As a result, we apply the association transitivity on the individuals because ideas themselves are too ephemeral.
I was referring to the fact that the ancestors of sapiens probably didn’t live in tribes but have developed sexual reproduction. It is also possible that the ability to feel emotions only developed after we have adopted the tribal lifestyle.
Your experience is certainly valid. I was making a generalization in comparison to relationship with a sexual reproduction partner.
Monsters usually refer to the concept of threats to survival. Before we could form societies and wall off our dwellings, we had to live among other wild life and other tribes that might threaten our ability to survive. Nowadays these threats are much more abstract and elusive. It’s really the changing temporal context that makes things much more nuanced on a case by case basis. Monsters such as slavery is a threat to the survival of a subgroup just like politically incorrect speech only threaten a subgroup as well. Humanity is much more stratified now than back when we lived in caves. Modern civilization is still much a transparent monster to the survival and preservation of lifestyles of indigenous tribes all over the world. They’ve achieved certain ecological equilibrium with nature for awhile now but have to worry about the invasiveness of the modern man.
It’s just a means to an end for most people. The end is solidarity and gaining social status and self-esteem within their solidarity circle. Are they really making any real impact through their participation? Even if they do “research,” they are just extracting results that others have gathered. They don’t actually have any access to the institutions directly related to those issues, whether it’s CDC or DoD. If they did have a role in those institutions, they wouldn’t be participating in layman discussion outside of their profession in the first place. Do you really see professional politicians or medical researchers directly engaging the public regarding their job or research on social media outside of a few instances of Reddit AMA?
I agree. You should leave professional issues to the professionals, else it’s either a waste of time or you are trying to get a superficial glimpse of certain topic, which is fine if it’s not toxic. The problem with politics is that it’s too toxic for social interactions. The moment you get someone else involved with you on this garbage, you are doing them a disservice. You don’t know how they can handle toxicity. There are better things to do in life. You have the freedom to waste your own time and swim in your own toxic waste, but getting someone else to swim in your own garbage with you is just fucking pathetic. But that’s what social media is all about, getting others involved in whatever you are discussing. Most real life interactions based on real life relationships are a lot healthier than how strangers engage each other online. There is a lot more to lose in real life than online.
I know I’m bad at this too. I need to be more aware of my own participation even though I may not think it’s negative, such as giving my own conjecture on 2008 financial crisis and related world events. I have no background education on those topics. Even though I may feel like I’ve read enough about those, I need the humility to help me know better, which is why I’m going back to poetry writing now, the more obscure and detached from reality it is, the better for the mental health of the readers and writers involved given my own personal circumstances and social implications however unfortunate this circumstance may be.
Communal sadism and the inability to recognize and control one’s own primal urges. The outlet does not tame those urges but driving them toward their manifestations, giving form of those emotions and thoughts into actions. Warfare is the most extreme display of such human nature, but things like sports and fight for social status are also just different sides of the same coin. There is a very fine line between engaging in those activities for the sake of passive enjoyment and the desire to make winners and losers. Just look at competitive video games. The only healthy way to engage in those activities is when you have no desire to win whatsoever. The moment you care about winning, it becomes merely a means to an end.
It is bound up with hatred, jealousy, boastfulness, disregard of all rules and sadistic pleasure in witnessing violence
In a big town one must indulge in group activities if one wants an outlet for one’s physical strength or for one’s sadistic impulses.

The more confirmations the better. They contribute different amount to each hypothesis. Then you narrow it down based on your margin of confidence.
Language reforms have always been standardized to the most common dialect that the people making the rules to be. Reforms don’t happen often, so by the time another one comes along, most people more or less can understand the new form.
