Thats what drugs do, they overwrite the brain patterns to recommend a one size-fits all solution to all problems - more drug - or more drug research. Its called psychological addiction - the you ceases to be, and the it becomes me.
Have i told you how great mdma is. Everyone should try it. I never would have expected that overriding my reward system would reveal my normal life to be such a bland mess and ilusion.
I still vehemently disagree on displaying this as a discreet spectrum. This suggests that a "normed" middle exists - which intuitively might seem right. But if you consider the human condition, which is usually maxing out a habbitats ressource with followed up warfare and habbitat recovery due to the warfare- then the "spectrum" is merely a adaption to the cycle of strife, mere sides to a coin which adapted to maximize throughput of individuals supporting the adaption too the cycle of strife.
A psychopath does not exist stand alone. S/he is existing because our society had a cyclic need for psychopaths. Neither is a completely self-less individual. S/he exists because society in parts of the cycle had use for self-lessness. They co-exist, because humanitys evolution - a blind and thoughtless process, attempted to adapt us as efficiently to this cycle of slaughter and recovery as possi ble. Which is horrifying. But also liberating. If you know what you are made off, the societys material science so to speak- you can specify and build social constructs and manouver them in a way that avoids breakage- and a falling back into the cycle.
I think beeing in this kind of bubble for to long, automatically generates the perspective that you are the center of attention for the whole universe.
My grandfather had a nanny/servant, who had to do whatever the spoiled brat asked for. The result was a person, who automatically assumes that all other beeings have not meaning or intent and are in dire need of beeing pupeteered.
Its the sort of disgusting human beeing you regularly find to be CEO. Its one of the reasons they are also so fascinated with art- because art can not be created by pupeteering- as they are usually quite unimaginative.
Are you seriously calling the extuinguishing of a species - all because some socially deprived devs need a little furry killer maschine to cuddle - trivial?
Just do with strays as they do in every other country- trap them and put them down.
The need for a biological diverse environment outweights the needs of some humans for easy consumable and controllable "social" experiences. For the googlers, get a real human to interact with - yeah, its more challenging, but that is what a social life is all about.
If freakonomics was right, with its fear of flooding distribution below a huge dam, then the distribution of those posting should fall into two distinctive camps. Those living and working in wooden buildings inside and outside should post that they feel fear.
Those living and working in huge office-buildings and skyscrapers every day in the bay should post a complete absence of fear.
Reminds me off the day all those property by plane photographers got dropped like a rock by google-maps.
My brother worked with a cartography company - and it must have quite shocked the boss, that somebody could release sattelite imagery - " for free".
Now, post pictures and funny slogans on the app i wrote, to keep that facade going behind which all these people crumble to dust. All in a solitary cofinement of the delusion that all others are happy- its just something wrong with them, but at least they fake it till they make it.
Well at least they are testing the ability of people to develop creative solutions to problems, and not just copy paste the defaults from the textbook- oh wait- they dont.
Who cares about plagiarism? Its all just bulemic learning anyway..
Only slightly related, but imagine, if you take a huge server rack- and you insert hidden behind the front - a glas jar with a silicon-brain, into which tons of glowing wires run.
I want to hear the maintenance calls for that one.
Classic case- ui-paradigm shift in the middle of the programm- for once the right click does not present options - but does something else entirely that undoes work.
Its strange- but usually this is found on components that had a developer-UI attached to it and where stand alone. Its easy to craft a pre-mature UI-decision into the working of a component- and run out of time for a redesign.
Another classic there- you have a UI and suddenly it gets terminal- as in you have to enter commandline shortkeys to archive efficient workspeed with it.
Missing a warning: You can get lost in here and start to programm in uml- which will result in alot of generated template code, in need to be fleshed out-
or a attempt to integrate coding snippets into your uml editor of choice and the realization that the most accurate representation of systems- is actually sourcecode.
The concept is never the full realization, and shouldnt become it.
Its basically rewarded to be a black hat hacker- you scam your way into a industry, take it over from its previous owners - repackage the whole thing and try to get out before any liability could hit you.
Obviously nothing of value is here created- a bank-robber doesent create value, he redistributes it - from the bank to himsel. Same goes for Ueber- it takes pre-existing value (taxi services)- reduces the wages and worker protection- and leaves with its share before the police arrive.
To call that innovation is really a insult to the likes of tesla and einstein.
Eh,both of these are technocratic efforts- they where many constitutions and market systems trialed and errored to get where we are today. Nothing of that dropped from the sky, as a law of nature.
