@madjidtassala @nntaleb @AferCheraine @karimbitar England's first typesetters were brought from the continent, and they "fixed" English spelling. Had they not done that, most of the "wh" words would still be spelled with "hw" (and there were many other changes too).

Karim Emile Bitar@karimbitar·
📚 🧠 📲 “French Renaissance philosopher Michel de Montaigne offered a philosophy that feels relevant to our hyper-connected world. He wrote in his famous essay ‘Of Solitude’ that every person ought to maintain a hidden back room (arrière-boutique) inside their own mind. He should possess an uncolonized space where external obligations, public opinions, and societal expectations are strictly forbidden. In this interior, he argued, we establish our true independence and safeguard our core identity. Montaigne was writing long before the advent of smartphones, social media feeds, and workplace notifications. However, his reflections speak directly to a growing contemporary dilemma. The erosion of personal mental autonomy. This 16th-century insight continues to captivate modern psychologists. It reveals how carving out deliberate quietude remains our strongest defense against emotional exhaustion.” minutemirror.com.pk/montaignes-phi…

@andersmarksen @crypto292929 @sean_a_mcclure @bryan_johnson Translated to Bryan's methodology: ✅ 1. Healthy people tend to have a lower heart rate during exercise. 🤓 2. So, let's take something to lower it while running. 😎 3. Measure the results, claim we're healthier. 🪦 4. Deal with the brain damage brought on by oxygen deprivation.

@RonnyHR487406 @nntaleb It's ironic you think somehow it makes you better than genocidal Israelis when you're racist against Jews not someone else. If you judge someone based on their ancestry instead of their actions, you're the same as them; you just haven't received funding to commit a genocide.

@nntaleb They only give reasons for people to believe that the painter was right. They love to strike other people but it's actually themselves who get the final blow in the end. They love to accuse someone about something but the accusing hand will go back point to themselves.

Well, @nntaleb, surely you know better than this. You wrote The Black Swan and Fooled by Randomness about the dangers of drawing sweeping conclusions from limited observations, mistaking anecdotes for evidence, and being fooled by small samples. Yet here you take one statement made by one highly controversial individual in 1982 and use it to make a sweeping claim about the “relative value of Jewish life.” Meir Kahane's words can and should be judged on their own merits, but Kahane was one man, not a proxy for Jews, not a proxy for Judaism, or Jewish ethics. A provocative anecdote doesn't become representative evidence simply because it makes a powerful story. If anyone should recognize the danger of extrapolating from a single data point, it should be the author of The Black Swan, and that's you, Nassim. You have an extraordinary platform: use it to bring people together, challenge simplistic narratives, and encourage thoughtful debate, not to turn one man's words from 1982 into a judgment about millions of people today. We need more bridge-builders, not more people giving division another microphone.

@LindaKreitzman @nntaleb What "small sample"? The guy isn't proof; he's demonstration. Today's values were already in place with the invaders 50 years ago and, by extension, 50 years prior that too. Zionist terrorism targeting the local Palestinian population started before 1920, and never stopped.

@nntaleb I hold that the worth of a person's life is infinite UNLESS they themselves declare what a person's life is worth: the lowest value they attribute to anyone's, that's also their own life's worth. As such, if treated accordingly, they're already surrendered their right to object.

@PolemicPublicis @nntaleb @bryan_johnson I thought it's universally understood that "I'm no longer dying as fast from a horrible disease" has very different semantics than "I managed to get this random biomarker into the range healthy people tend to have, therefore I can confidently conclude I'm healthy."

Sean McClure@sean_a_mcclure·
@bryan_johnson Yes. Please consider that there is a better (more genuinely scientific) way.
Sean McClure@sean_a_mcclure

The problem is this: You have been convinced of 2 things: 1) that biomarkers (outputs) are a sign of health/age, and 2) that since you "know" the outputs you want, the answer to maintaining or improving those outputs is to make the inputs the same (e.g. a healthy body has high X, therefore I will do more of X). Let us assume that #1 is true. That biomarkers (outputs) are a sign of health/age. This is already highly debatable, but let us assume this is true, and further, that your (and others') research has identified a very good set of signals for health/age. #1 being true has almost nothing to do with #2 being true, which in any case, it is not. The signals the body gives off (when measured) are there for reasons that are nondeterministically connected to its inputs. For example, you can track things like CRP, lipid levels, glucose, IGF-1, etc. which may indeed be indicative of health, but I assure you, you do not know how to arrive at those markers in any deterministic sense. The body’s regulatory mechanisms are (extremely) nonlinear. It takes zero knowledge of medicine or nutrition to know this, because it is a universally true property of complex systems, and the human body is without a doubt a complex system. Say you reduce IGF-1 through caloric restriction. Is this healthy? Will this reverse aging / extend lifespan? In some narrow way it might indeed contribute to that end goal, but more broadly it might simultaneously reduce muscle mass and resilience, moving you in the opposite direction. You might artificially prolong telomeres, only to increase your cancer risk. You might reduce your fat intake, only to reduce necessary lipid signalling. You might push excess endurance only to inflict coronary artery calcification. This is the nature of complex systems. There is no chance the body is not like this. What you are doing is chasing non-mechanistic indicators of aging, as though they were in fact mechanistic. This is a transgression related to reductionism and false causes. It is very common for people to do this. It is a problem of misplaced concreteness, which gives people a sense of false control. It seems to logically make sense that if a healthy body shows signs of X (output), that making X happen deliberately (input) can only maintain or improve that output. But this is patently false. Again, this is not how complex systems function. Imagine the turbulent flow in a pipe. The relationship between input and output is highly nonlinear. The inputs might be a set pressure and velocity entering the pipe, while the outputs might be flow velocity, pressure distribution and patterns at the exit of the pipe. There is very little controlled or predictable connection between the inputs and outputs in this situation. Interactions within the pipe, like turbulent eddies, vortices and branching paths interact in countless ways, leading to complex and emergent outputs that look almost nothing like what went in. The outputs are highly irregular, with patterns determined by the intricate internal dynamics that we had absolutely no control over. That is just for a pipe; a system far simpler than the human body. If the flow through a pipe lacks deterministic control, consider your human body. To be clear, I am not saying that human health cannot be improved, as though the whole thing is a crapshoot. Placing oneself into healthy environments and removing modern conveniences from one's diet is undoubtedly healthy, because it aligns to how we evolved. What I am saying is that your version of control is fallacious and pseudoscientific. You are convincing yourself, and others, that you have a control you do not have. As though age and death is a technical problem that can be approached the way someone approaches debugging a piece of (rules-based) software or steam engine. It is no different than using drastic social engineering in an attempt to control the outcome. Society is not subject to such control without eventual disaster. The system can always be expected to collapse. Always. What I am saying here can be demonstrated rigourously. It can be shown that the properties of complex systems behave as I have described. It can be shown, mathematically, probabilistically and experimentally. This is how science actually works. We can outline this, explicitly, rigorously and logically here on X if you wish. We can work to educate people and arrive at the kind of knowledge that is worth aiming for. But you have to move past the "I respect you famous person X" and towards having an honest conversation that seeks truth while respecting scientific rigor. Ready when you are.
