Not really. Try again.

I had a go at contemplating. For a thing to be a construction, it can only exist through mental work and maintenance. A social construction are constructs that are collectively similar between minds. A crocodile bites your head. You don't have to work to construct that. You just get bit. So not a construct. Gender is partially constructed. The social games we play around gender are constructions. But the biological capabilities and genetic differences between the sexes are real. As a man, I can't construct a child through mental work only. If I could, then yeah gender would be a construct. Economics is a social construction. It is purely conceptual, and a game played between minds. But since it is acted out it has consequences for people. It is a construction that can affect you. A social or mental construction is concept. Sometimes that concept can be acted out and affect you in some way. What is not a construction is what's happening now in the world that does not require mental work to exist. 'Physical' phenomena.

Why not go full circle back to radical duality? Where everything is unique upon itself, with no similar properties or oneness to it. It kinda holds up.

People still believe in intellectual property, like it's not a social construct. Also people are afraid it will take jobs. But if an AI is taking your job, the brutal truth is you're providing inefficient value and should do something else anyway. Also for many people, they are more concerned that their personal images are being scraped without their permission. That it's for AI training doesn't matter to them.

😂 No cap, fr fr, I got that cognitive drip. Glow up, king. I have skibidi cognitive rizz. Anyone operating at less than 14 cognition is so Ohio.

You're on social media right now, Peo.

I don't really know this MHC theory you are referring to. I'll need to look into it. But to answer your question, my average cognition is really stupid. It takes a lot of solitude, focus and energy to generate creative and powerful thoughts. When I hit those levels, it's great, but it's difficult and isolating. I struggle to be both smart and social at the same time. To be smart requires time and contemplation, but social requires one to be quick and reactionary. Respect to those people who can do both.

I never had a twitter account. Two months ago, I downloaded X just to try it out. I wasn't following anyone or gave the X algorithm any indication what my interests were. Eight out of the first ten posts were about Elon or related to one of his companies. X is a propaganda machine. X is engineered that way.

The purpose of Elon buying Twitter was not to make the platform better. It was to give him a Murdoch-like media platform to fling his agenda on. For that purpose he succeeded massively.

It is very pragmatic. And it is also bullshit. The map is not the territory, but the map is still useful.

I am a spiral dynamics ultra-violet hyper being. I have become so enlightened I shit insights and vomit wisdom. Come to my private spiritual community, and you will have the privilege of sniffing my construct-aware farts. 😁💨 -- Sorry for the sarcasm, just letting off some steam after a shit day at work. Let's have some self-awareness and stop pretending us humans deserve to call ourselves wise now, yeah?

Being construct-aware made me better at my job 🤔 Wouldn't the best human rights work eventually be done by someone who understands human rights are a social construct?

Holy. Shit. 🤯 Now I have licence to sit around and be a beggar all day, like I have always dreamed. Being a king is just my bias! ... No, he really is one of the best human rights lawyers in the world.

On Leos human rights post: I recently got the chance to chat to a very famous human rights lawyer, and attend some talks of his in person. I was considering making a documentary with him, but that fell apart. I was a bit stunned by his epistemics. The idea than human rights were a construct was completely unacceptable to him. Post-modernism was out of the question. Mind you this man has put a stop to many evil organisations and has helped more humans escape exploitation than I ever will, but he firmly held human rights as a universal given. As inalienable. As fundamentally real. Unfortunately, human rights as a field will be forever limited until the constructed nature is realized. Then we are empowered to do the serious work to make the construct healthy and feed the system properly. Even those in the top of peak of their field can have bad epistemology. That was a big insight for me.

Because he is a bit of a misogynist.

Very nice work. I like this enactivist framework. Interactionally-real also seems like a good way of holding categories. Do you think categories or things can exist without conscious interaction?

The only person that can know what's best for you, is you. Never outsource that to someone else.

Goddamn man. Such a brave kid who deserved much better.

Smart girl.

Heresy. Spanking is the best medicine. Go see a spankologist immediately.

This guy's life purpose is to heal people through spank therapy. Follow your dreams kids, anything is possible.

The way it frames respect is weird. It suggests respect = not attractive, therefore do not give respect to women. That is all the fuel an incel needs to be a freak to women. It doesn't do a good job of defining what respect is, so people with a very immature sense of respect (incels) now have license to disrespect and be a dick to women. But the most respectful thing you can do is kiss a woman at the right time But this video doesn't imply that. It would suggest you just got to let go of that respect and be more neutral or even disrespectful.

These incel videos are so weird man. These internet pseudo-intellectuals are rotting people's brain.
