Can it be shown that there is a set of "best" values? ("values" in the sense that they motivate behavior) I think i see a lot of assumptions that it can, but i also think the extent to which it isn't has ramifications that strike fatally to the core of culture, i.e. epistemology

@AMCScam @Tools2020 I thought you guys were arguing about the value of that interest to the company, in which case whether or not it's word salad matters less than whether or not it meets profit, right? Or are you tying back the word salad to a bigger point

@2ndGenAmerica @Tools2020 Of course he could sell the calls and make or lose money. But that’s not real interest. Holding shares would be real interest. Options are just word play. He holds 25k shares. That’s it.

Since Sleazy Jim @BAMinvestor is too much of a coward to post his P&L & hides behind bogus "crime" claims when he's wrong (which is always), I'm creating a never-ending thread to hold him accountable for his long list of failures. Remember, he charges $99/mo for this 💩

@AMCScam @Tools2020 Most of what you say makes sense to me, but this does not. How is it ignorable that he could just sell the calls (that co-vary with share price of course) and not make money?

@Tools2020 Except he doesn't have $EBAY exposure beyond 25k actual shares owned. He hasn't ponied up the capital to execute the calls, so "economic interest" is just word salad/smoke-and-mirrors.

If you think that LLMs are conscious you must accept a lot of weird conclusions. Like: - we can clone conscious experience - we can reverse time in conscious experience - we can pause and resume conscious experience - we can distribute conscious experience in space

Many are surprised IQ even correlates with catching and throwing accuracy. High IQ people tend to be more coordinated on average. IQ influences far more areas of life than most realise.

@Dr_Gingerballs @MetacogniShane Reminds me of one of those brain games websites where they showed all these metrics like reaction time, working memory, pattern recognition or whatever going down with age EXCEPT [some word related thing they used as a proxy for] "crystallized knowledge" went up until ~dementia

@MetacogniShane I am a teacher and I have noticed in my mid 30’s and now 40’s I am becoming much better at generalization and abstraction. I like to think it’s out of necessity as the cognitive ability of the brain declines, it must become more efficient to keep sense of everything.

Brooks' statement below is 100% Grade-A 🐂💩. Fluid intelligence and working memory - the two cognitive abilities largely responsible for "synthesizing information" and "recognizing patterns" - both peak in your 20s and start to decline sometime in your 30s. Brooks is either severely misinformed or just bullshitting to sound smart (and to sell books). Either way, economists probably shouldn't be cosplaying as cognitive psychologists. conversationswithtyler.com/episodes/arthu…

Yeah, that’s the thing. Western narcissism is particular is peculiar because it always comes with this hero complex as a result of our universalizing ethical defaults. Everyone has to be their own outwardly personal Christ a la Martin Luther or Rousseau. Living in Cyprus helped me understand how this not the norm outside Western-descended societies. Natives here genuinely *do not care* for any sort of universalizing. They will openly defend the people they know and like on points of emotional vanity, pride, or even to protect some arbitrary personal low-effort status quo with absolutely no concern for the broader effects on society. The result is that Narcissism is much more limited here, if sharper. But in our neck of the woods it inflates and expands like an all-consuming storm.

Median age of US Taxpayer in upper 50% (pays 97% of taxes): 55 = weighted toward late-career high-income earners Median age of US Taxpayer in lower 50% (pays 3% of taxes): 35 = weighted toward early-career young families just getting started Eliminating taxes entirely for the bottom 50% of taxpayers (through budget cuts/paying down US debt) will disproportionately aid and support young people with families, eventually boosting US total fertility rate and domestic economic growth overall. Why aren't we doing this? (Source: IRS data from tax year 2022)
Dr. Michael T LoPiano@MichaelTLoPiano

You can cut 3% of the budget (i.e. by paying down our ridiculous national debt) but then instead of giving everybody (including the top 1% of earners) a distributed tax cut equivalent to 3% of the budget you just eliminate tax completely for the bottom 50% of taxpayers. It is an illusion of statist/bureaucratic grifters to make us think that cutting tax revenue for one group of people means it has to go up for a different group of people. If you decide to pay off debt in full on one of your credit cards, it doesn't mean your wife has to take on your debt. You pay it off and neither of you has to devote a part of your salary to pay off the bank.

I think his system is way more interesting than what @sama showed me in a Mexican restaurant years ago here. At the @fdotinc startup festival. Which starts in two hours. I will have a lot more to say about what Sam is building soon.

@BudgetsBananas "long-dated bonds,...already weak demand, with traditional buyers under-water, have a growing concern for its liquidity and thus its volatility" I thought liquidity was inverse to supply such that US supplying bonds increases liq. Is vol up more bc demand is in short supply?

@christweedt I've also noticed this. I'm not altogether unhappy about it (actually i think it's good to balance), but i don't like how it ignores the value of others' attention. We all have a role to play in influencing each other (no man is an island, maslow's needs, world's a stage, etc)

Changes in perceptions of politeness concerning attention is fascinating to me. Our (older) generation takes it to be polite to give others attention as a show of respect. The younger generation thinks the opposite...

I don’t know when people will start to realize the massive value that this so-called “DiLuTiOn” actually brings to all shareholders. Let me say it one more time: would you rather own 100% of a $10B company, or 40% of a $60-70B combined entity in the bear case scenario, with enormous upside potential under Cohen’s leadership? The math is not complicated. The 40% is worth $24-28B, more than double what you own today. That’s what accretion means. Be retarded, but not that retarded. $GME

My only rule for almond consumption is that you have to call them what Central Valley growers do: a-monds. The L is silent because when you shake them out of the tree, you shake the L out of them!
Dr. Margot Paez@jyn_urso

Lol. What a joke seeing right wingers now upset about how much almond farms use for water. A little late to the party. But we actually know the only reason you allow yourself to care for an environmental impact is so you can hate on people who drink almond milk because you associate that with people you hate.
