  • If you take out ‘unparalleled’, the sentence “Hidden meaning transforms unparalleled abstract beauty” makes sense… Generating a sentence from random buzz-words doesn’t make it meaningless…

    For those downvoting: imagine you look at an abstract painting. It’s beautiful, but you don’t know what it is. Then someone tells you it’s a vulva. Now you can’t unsee it. The abstract beauty has been transformed by hidden meaning…

    The same goes for “thoughts can influence physical objects.” If they couldn’t, you wouldn’t be able to move your hand to scratch your ass when it gets itchy.

    I know what they are trying to say with these sentences and would absolutely get the answers right on their test. But I would get them right because I know what they want for an answer. This is sloppy research, and the correlation between intelligence and correct answers on their test is very likely due to theory of mind and meta-cognitive reasoning…

    This article is pseudo-profound bullshit.









  • I was interested in the German phrase, so I used an LLM to translate the meaning and see what we get. I landed on the following example scenario to convey what I think you mean when you use it in response to the article.

    “”" German citizen: “I always vote for the party that promises to reduce taxes and increase funding for infrastructure. Was ich denk und tu, trau ich andern zu - I assume most people share my political views and priorities.” This reflects an assumption that their personal political leanings are widely held, without acknowledging diverse ideological perspectives. “”"

    Is this on base with what you meant? Or is it more like the Every Accusation/Confession thing?










  • Trump very much has a role in what’s happening right now. That absolutely does not excuse Biden’s funding of this genocide here and now, but it’s just factually incorrect to not include Trump’s involvement in setting the stage. For example, his administration’s heavy use of vetos in the UNSC related to Israel have absolutely played a direct role in the escalations preceding Oct 7th.
