@wholemars There will come a time in the future where people will be surprised that we let practically anyone drive a 2 ton death machine anywhere they want

@mtende_kuyokwa Haha....Would be an interesting watch if he could pull it off.

#1 killer of creativity: lack of foundational knowledge/skills.

#1 unlock for creativity: having information subconsciously accessible and effortlessly manipulable in your brain.

Your brain wants to find patterns and connect the dots, but it can only do that if

1) all the data is available for background processing, and

2) manipulating that information takes so little effort that it doesn't derail your big-picture train of thought.

Everybody wants to think critically and creatively but nobody wants to build their knowledge base!

Reasoning, creativity, etc., involve combining elements of a knowledge base.

You can't think with knowledge you don't have.
You can't cook with ingredients you don't have.

And if you're not able to execute information manipulation subskills effortlessly without conscious thought, then you have to consciously think about every low-level action, which overloads your working memory and leaves no room for higher-level creative thought.

That's the funny thing about creativity: You can't be creative at a high level unless you're robotic at a low level. If you're not robotic at a low level then all your brainpower is going to be spent there and none will be left for higher-level creativity.

Some people think that repeated practice turns students into mindless robots, whereas to leverage the power of human creativity, one needs to break free from that robotic mindset.

In reality, the whole purpose of repetition is to *reduce* the amount of bandwidth that the brain must allocate to robotic tasks, thereby freeing up cognitive resources to engage in higher-level thinking.

In other words: repetition and creativity go hand in hand. The whole point of repetition is to automate basic skills so that they don't waste the mental effort that's needed to fuel higher-level thinking. Repetition is the very thing that allows you to break free from robotic thought processes.

TLDR: Learn the isolated pieces so well that you can reason about them in the back of your mind without losing your overarching train of thought. It's so much easier to think in systems and see the forest for the trees when the low-level details are understood so well that they don't take up much brainpower.

@Hauwa_L The comments and quotes are sad and a bit telling. This is not an ideal trait. If you can't remember, then record...daily.

@clintonnzedimma lol...Why should they be good or great? What's the incentive?

With a lack of incentives to make them good, their "bad" state is expected.

@_Paash_ The game is the game.
On the positive side, public displays of generousity, regardless of actual intent, tend to have the effect of encouraging others to to the same. Someone gets a new laptop, you get some clout and more people are encouraged to give more. It's a net positive.

@viyancefavour Haha yeah, watched a bit of the podcast...lightning fast.
Twitter(X) had a laugh when it was released

[Jxg @jazzxgray]

@viyancefavour The irony is hilarious😂😂
I wonder what they think would happen under a legit strong dictator.
But I don't even get it...instead of advocating for rule of law and distribution of power among separate strong institutions, they advocate the polar opposite, tyrannical rule of one

[Jxg @jazzxgray]

@viyancefavour Beautiful. Couldn't have put it any better.

@nla_agba Situations leading to conflicts amongst existing identities an individual holds will always exist. This is why establishing a hierarchy of identities is important and also accepting that at times you may need to hold positions that don't neatly align with your hierarchy.

@UnkleAyo Personally, I encourage having the priority/topmost identity of "Human" first. This way, at its core, your loyalty is to the human species and leads to better cooperation regardless of race, religion, ethnicity or ideology.

[Jxg @jazzxgray]

@UnkleAyo Individuals hold multiple identities simultaneously....such as gender, race, ethnicity, religion, age, ideology etc. The hierarchy is what determines what identity is most important.
This part of the world, most people place their religion above all other identities.

@viyancefavour oh that makes sense...sounds like a service whose goal would be to get us as close to the truth as possible relying on facts and evidence...and possibly revealing any blind spots or flaws in rhetoric.
Not bad.
Seems very possible with AI. Grok does a great job analyzing posts.

[Jxg @jazzxgray]

@viyancefavour I don't know if he actually takes a step back to evaluate the absurd things he says.

[Jxg @jazzxgray]

@viyancefavour @dhammysoft Thank you for all you do Man...educating these people.

@SpaceTimeAlien @grok @DriermKaivus @killua_99999999 @distributionat do you think Grok is biased?
