Se avessero studiato il modello organizzativo IDEA saprebbero che un CEO non può avere, per definizione, un Advisor a fianco. Un CEO ha bisogno solo di un autista, altrimenti non è un CEO

Ho verificato, dice esattamente “ho pensato: speriamo che non sia un immigrato islamico, speriamo che sia una persona cristiana bianca, ma non lo era”.

Questi sono discorsi agghiaccianti, da persone malate, che coltivano un livore infinito verso la propria comunità. È un virus potenzialmente più pericoloso di qualsiasi altro, può portare alla distruzione di una civiltà.

Thank you @nytimes for your honest and accurate reporting. We must fight against the extremist religion of the car in question that caused it to plow into the LBTQ parade. Cars are born peaceful. They are self-radicalized online but vehicle extremists.

We already have superintelligences that have taken over the planet: we call them organizations.

Training people is a significant issue. I'm not entirely sure how to address it. Somehow the young people entering the industry will need to develop the insights that allow them to properly drive a team of agents.

One solution might be to treat each new hire as an agent for a year so they can experience directly what the agents are doing and how they are being driven.

In my six-pack arrangement, I might let trainees take a turn at each of the roles: specifier, coder, cleaner, architect, hardender, and QA (not necessarily in that order). A year of that, and they might know enough to drive a six-pack of their own.

Some people seem to be surprised that an old geezer like me could adapt so quickly to the newest tech.

The thing is, I've been a programmer for over 60 years. And every single year brings another adaptation to new tech. Adapting to new tech is what we programmers do on a regular basis. Why would I stop now?

What does it mean that every glance you take is a moral act—and that the world you see is literally shaped by what you're aiming at when you look? This lecture builds from a deceptively simple observation about perception and intent into one of the oldest and most unsettling ideas in the biblical tradition: that the spirit you bring to your decisions determines what reality reveals to you. Moving through the stories of Jacob's ladder, Elijah's cave, and the still small voice that turns out to be harder to hear than any earthquake or firestorm, Peterson traces the case that conscience, calling, and the instinct to aim upward are not three things but one—and that the God of the Old Testament is less a being to be believed in than a direction to be chosen, one glance, one word, one sacrifice at a time.

This lecture was filmed on December 2nd, 2024 in Cincinnati, Ohio.

"He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you."

Friedrich Nietzsche. Beyond Good and Evil (1866).

You might like to think that if the rape gang (sexual conquest gang) scandal had come to your attention you certainly would not have denied what was happening, or remained silent.

Stop. Dare to really ask yourself (instead of just assuming your virtue):

You would've put your career on the line?
You would've put your family on the firing line?
You would've accepted being labelled a Nazi? And the death threats?

When in your whole life have you ever done something that brave?

Do you understand that you would have to reconfigure your entire understanding of what it means to be human to plumb the depths of that abysmal crime?

Do you have any idea how traumatizing it is to admit to the reality of true malevolence—of genuine evil?

You're really sure you have that in you?

Best to pray, then, that your virtue in that regard is never tested.

In questo intervento, il ricercatore Tommaso Virgili, esperto di mondo islamico, spiega come la fratellanza musulmana riesca a portare avanti le sue battaglie, cavalcando l’ubriacatura intersezionale dell’occidente illuminato. Esempio, l’hijab. Come far dimenticare che si tratta di uno strumento di oppressione verso le donne, in una società in lotta contro il patriarcato? Lo si accomuna a un diritto delle minoranze, affiancandolo alle battaglie femministe, anti-coloniali, lgbqt+ e così via. Istanze conservatrici, di un movimento bandito da molti paesi musulmani, trovano così sfogo nell’occidente tollerante, entrando in circolo con il bollino di qualità dei valori della tolleranza su cui si basa il nostro mondo. Così facendo, si anestetizza la percezione del rischio dell’estremismo, brandendo eventualmente la spada dell’islamofobia contro chi sollevi dubbi.
Non stupisce quindi che di fronte a fatti come quelli di Berlino, dove l’intersezionalità sembra andare in corto circuito, c’è una corsa immediata della società liberale a derubricare al caso isolato, reimmettendo nel discorso il vero rischio, quello dell’estrema destra. Male che vada ci si può giocare la carta della necessità di avere più psicologi per contrastare lo squilibrio mentale.

Here's something truly funny in the darkest possible manner.

The "unflattering" traits listed as characteristic of white culture—even white supremacy culture—by institutions such as the Smithsonian share one fundamental psychological feature in common:

They are all indications of—are you ready for it—the Big Five trait conscientiousness.

Conscientiousness is the best known personality predictor of life success after general cognitive ability (otherwise known as intelligence).

So this means that the idiot leftists who developed and promoted such material proclaim their antiracism by insisting that the very trait most associated with productivity, reliability, diligence, and success is a flaw, unique to white people.

Hard work is key to success.
Work before play.
Delayed gratification.
Future orientation.
Planning.
Punctuality.
Self-reliance.
Respect for authority.

Pure conscientiousness.

"Yo--those n-words shore are lazee..."
Sincerely,
The Democratic Socialists of America

You can't make this stuff up.

In truth, by the way, racial differences in the major personality traits are negligible.

You watch them like a hawk. You bring them back to their original rules. You flush the context from time to time. You surround them with deterministic tools that block hallucinations. You do everything you can to detect and then stop hallucinations. And if you are vigilant, you will be effective.

In short, you don’t get to go to the water cooler and wait for the agents to be done.

[Uncle Bob Martin @unclebobmartin]

AI agents can write code many times faster than a human. What this means is that you, the programmer, have a large amount of time to use those agents to write unit tests, to write acceptance, tests, to write property tests, to torture test, to mutate test, to QA test, and to otherwise ensure that the code meets its functional and quality requirements. And even after spending all that time, you will still be many times more productive than a human programmer, and the result will be better.

L'articolo di Jordan B Peterson sullo stupro di 250.000 donne e bambine da parte delle gang pachistane in Gran Bretagna dal 2000 in avanti. Il silenzio e la connivenza della polizia, del governo conservatore prima e laburista poi. Traduzione nei commenti.

How does a country make itself safe and productive?

Great Britain did it with Christianity—and by executing or imprisoning the worst males in every generation for hundreds of years.

By the 1960s, the country was so civilized that policeman carried nothing but a nightstick, everybody queued without a second thought, and newspaper boxes were left unlocked on the high street.

Britain had become a so-called high trust society — less euphemistically, an honest society.

Something similar—without the Christianity—transpired in Japan.

What happens to such a country if it forgets how difficult that was to attain?

The Brits found out. And then denied it.

Continui a dare per scontato quello che dovresti dimostrare. Dici che “i bambini disturbano oggettivamente”, ma è falso. Alcuni bambini disturbano, altri passano due ore al ristorante senza che nessuno si accorga della loro presenza.

E poi c’è un’altra contraddizione: se il problema è il bambino che corre o lancia oggetti, intervieni in quel caso. Tu invece proponi di escludere tutti i bambini, anche quelli che si comportano benissimo, perché alcuni potrebbero disturbare.

È esattamente questo il principio su cui sto facendo una riflessione. Non è difficile da capire, semplicemente continui a rispondere a una tesi diversa da quella che sto sostenendo.

This is the first long-form piece I've written in a year:

Why this topic? Because, for starters, 250,000 girls were raped. Unimaginable and appalling though that is—the reality is much worse:

[Uncle Bob Martin @unclebobmartin]

I’m significantly older than you. I started coding in the late 60s. My current strategy is to not read any of the code written by my agents. That’s the only way I can take advantage of their productivity. What I do instead is to surround the agents with extreme constraints. Unit tests, gherkin tests, QA procedures, quality metrics, mutation testing, test coverage, and a plethora of others. In the end, I have very high confidence in the code they produce because they’ve had to run the gauntlet of all of my constraints and tests.
