@BitcoinGambit@Croesus_BTC Not sensible to argue value on basis of scarcity devoid of context. Scarcity is an insufficient property. Interesting, though, to consider scarcity in light of context, other properties.
Also, I forgot to list audit-ability as an interesting property for consideration.
@BitcoinGambit@Croesus_BTC Specific to examples you present - the Mona Lisa, Mickey Mantle cards - the issues of counterfeiting, durability, portability, provenance, and fungibility (for the cards, if not for a singular artwork) are all interesting and I think quite relevant to consider alongside scarcity
@gmiller@ESYudkowsky May I ask whether you have any suggested reading as pertaining to the issue of ‘alignment with biological organisms’? This would intuitively seem less of a complexity than that of disparate human soft preferences / the fact that humans simply aren’t aligned with each other.
@lesliedouglasx @FergussonNiall @curtis90335@ArtemisConsort Articulating a soft determinism. “Causal, but my very being and essence which causes.” Word games, or cope, in my opinion.
Sapolsky is worth checking out, interviews or book ‘Determined’. His Free Will definition is robust:
“Show me a neuron being a causeless cause.”
@OContant@divya_venn@shaneparrish Serious mountain climbing is predicated upon
A breath and depth of experience in the mountains
Fitness
Planning / goal setting
I like your thought experiment
I think there’s something to be said for long term processes, with notable progressions and successes along the way
@PetreRaleigh@katwgws All ‘take home writing’ assessments are obsolete.
It isn’t exaggeration.
As others have mentioned here, only the lazy are using these tools to actually write their work. Academic dishonesty via cognitive offloading is undetectable without 1:1 validation interactions.
@danfaggella I enjoy your use of ‘attenuate’.
Willing to hit me with what you consider to be a superb article, podcast, or long form which you’ve recently read or written on the topic?
@spoonmvn Well said.
My take - I have yet to see compelling responses to ‘doomer’ argumentation.
“Wait and see what happens” doesn’t seem to cut it for low time preference, engaged and agentic people.
@stevecrye@Devon_Eriksen_@acrobatichobbit Good comment regarding obsessive climbers. It’s all anecdotal evidence, I know, and not Devon’s point, but my wife can do 10 on a bar or a hangboard jug. She’s another obsessive climber and trains with high specificity. None of her friends can even do 1 with good form.
@americanhodl8 Still owe you my gratitude. How many cycles has it been now? Still haven’t sold a single sat, and in part because of loud voices such as yours.
