Dasus comments on I could have told people "I know that I know nothing" too

[–] Dasus@lemmy.world 1 point 4 months ago (45 children)

Yes, I understand the bias.

You just worded it as if all the information in your head is in there by accident, and you can't actually influence the amount.

You very much can, obviously.

But that doesn't remove the bias... again, obviously.

I'm still not sure I follow the reasoning, but maybe: I meant that bcs of the unimaginable randomness of cases and impossible vastness of data. You absolutely don't have free access to all the data (you don't know what I keep in my tin box at home). You can purposely (or not) only access the data that is by chance accessible to you.

So within this context I find it weird differentiating between purposely vs accidentally (if that is the opposite?) acquiring knowledge bcs even if you pick up a book you chose it's still very much random & nothing in comparison to all the data in existence (and the comparison was between overlapping experiences of different people, so another dimension of random selection).
That's why I was presenting it as random (but active or passive learning - it makes no difference to that point, so that's why I didn't initially get what you were saying).

Ofc you have experts in their fields, they gathered knowledge "on purpose" to that end - and yet when I hire such an expert, first day on the job that idiot doesn't even know where their desk is.

You can't follow the sentence "the way you worded that implied that all the information you have was 'gifted' by 'random chance'"?

Lots of people enjoy general knowledge. There's even quite a few games and TV-shows based on it. You'd argue that everyone who did well in those, or say, Trivial Pursuit, are better by chance because they were "gifted" something instead of having had worked for it?

There are people addicted to generalised trivia and facts and then there are people who don't understand the difference between amperes and volts, despite that being taught in pretty much all basic education in at least the developed world.

But no, the kids getting A's didn't work for anything, they were just gifted?

Just like

This girl was also probably gifted her massive arms. I mean, there's so many other things she could possibly be doing with her arms, so it's just random that she'd get larger ones on purpose. It was a random "gift" from... God?

And this isn't even about the context. Again, the way you worded it excluded experts as well. But you just have to move the goalposts instead of saying "yeah, you're right, it does imply that, I could've worded that better". No, instead you're like "I didn't mean experts, obviously!" Why not? (Do you notice btw how I'm asking you things instead of telling them? Wish there was like a name for this style of rhetoric. Can someone perhaps think of one?)

You misunderstood me.

I wasn't talking about learning at all.
I never said anything against the human activity of learning. I feel like I triggered you on something personal, for which I'm sorry.

Being in the vicinity of information --> gifted the chance to absorb/learn/remember it.

The girl was gifted (by which I mean randomised circumstances) the chance to put in the effort for those gains, yet she still can't lift a mountain, much less the galaxy. She wouldn't have the same gains if she was in a famine, or without arms, or a snail.
Again, that is not diminishing her efforts, attitude, results in any way, bcs we understand the context of human lives individually (ie she's amazing).

Trivia nerds won't know what random number I'm thinking of. Or what is dark matter. Or which human pooped the largest poop in 1000BC.

Learning is fun, it has a lot of positive synergies with basically everything, and we tend to rightfully cherish knowledgeable ppl more. And we don't think knowledgeable ppl are dumb bcs they don't know things they were never privy to learn. I'm still not sure why would you assume my standing to the opposite, but I think we already cleared that isn't the case.
I didn't move any goalposts (that's just you trying to win something I think - I did include experts) & I think most understood me correctly. But you just wanted to argue (my use of the word gift) like a master debater & extended my simple point into wannabe "this guy doesn't appreciate ppl's efforts & thinks learning is fake".
That's just mean.

Here, have some inspirational quotes (with maybe the general use of the word gift that is lacking in this convo):

Honestly seeing this level of "rhetoric" is just... well I'm just bored arguing kids/idiots like you. You can't actually stand behind your words, so you try to make it personal.

No, you haven't "triggered" anything by wording your comment poorly, but like I said, instead of just saying "oh right you are, that wording does indeed have that implication, I'll word it better" you're going all out on these pathetic ad hominems. Which is a term I'm 85% sure you're gonna misuse due to fundamentally misunderstanding it.

Being in the vicinity of information --> gifted the chance to absorb/learn/remember it.

Hahaha dude you do crack me up. You've never heard of willfull ignorance, or can't imagine it's opposite? I pity you.

Trivia nerds won't know what random number I'm thinking of.

Yeah uhm does that mean that they don't exist and/or have a much larger grasp of a million different little things than someone who's wasted their life thinking information just randomly spawns into you, so they didn't bother actively learning anything.

But you just wanted to argue (my use of the word gift) like a master debater & extended my simple point into wannabe *"this guy doesn't appreciate ppl's efforts & thinks learning is fake

That's known as a strawman my little silly-billy. And it's just like I said. You literally can not say "my mistake, I could've worded that better" you've made this be some sort of contest.

It's really not. If it were, you wouldn't stand a chance with, again, that childish level of rhetoric.

I think I've deeply triggered your traumas of getting beat hard in all the quizzes you've ever taken (I don't think you're really the type to play Trivial Pursuit, lolololol.) And that's okay. Learning is good. Like learning to handle your personal emotions and feelings of inferiority.

Which is what you're having a complex about here, because I'm just pointing out your original wording did in fact imply that you think all information we have was "gifted by random chance".

Being mean doesn't equate to an ad hominem, by the way. Neither do insults. They're not synonyms, which you'd know if you had ever spent any time actually learning about them. But you didn't. Perhaps you thought "random chance" would just plop it in your head one day? RUAHAHAHA :D

This is exactly what I mean. I've seen this tantrum a million times. Your ego just can't handle admitting you have made a mistake. So you'll keep pretending you didn't, despite not having the balls to actually argue the point, because you know you did imply with your wording that all experience is "randomly gifted".

And to do that, you start of with pathetic attempts at ad hominems. (Which again, isn't synonymous with "insult".)

No matter how much I keep reiterating that my point is simply your poor wording, you can't accept it as such, and get so disturbed that you first try your shitty rhetoric and when it doesn't work, you change into silly oneliners like that, because you think replying even something completely irrelevant, will somehow make you "get the last word" and you think that's "winning".

But it won't affect your wording and it's implications. It's really not a lot to say "lol I made a mistake, poor wording, yeah", unless you're completely convinced you never make mistakes. Which you'll ofc argue against, while constantly avoiding the actual subject of your poor wording.

Then in like a few days you'll devolve to spamming "k" or something. Genuinely, seen this thousands of times.

No they didn't. They pretend to have said that.

It's like apologising to someone by saying "I'm sorry you think you deserve an apology" and then arguing "I already apologised actually" after implicitly stating that the other person didn't in fact even deserve an apology. Meaning that they're not actually sorry for anything, because "sorry you think you deserve an apology" isn't actually a real apology, is it?

I can see how someone wouldn't see the difference. If you're having problems, please ask for help.

Still here with sad oneliners.

I can respond to you and point out that people sometimes use "millions" to emphasise that there's a lot of something. If I were to estimate it honestly, I'd say I've seen at least one or two of kids like you a week for the past 10 years so that's what, 520 to 1040 of these tantrums, on average.

You're not ashamed to publicly make such a idiot out of yourself. All you need to prove me wrong is address the subject or leave. But you won't, because your infantile ego controls you. :D

So when people say, "I could eat a horse", you bring them an actual horse?

Not understanding idioms further points to how bad your language skills are. Like when what you said literally meant "all information is gotten through random 'gifting'"

It's genuinely fun to see how little control over your tiny childish ego you have. You can't stop it from forcing you back here like the hundreds and thousands of other kids who I see doing this. Youre doing literally exactly what they did.

Ie trying pathetically to not dance to my tune while literally dancing to my tune. (Yes, I'm using "literally" as emphasis, not to mean literally, literally. Are you having a hard time understanding that? You might want to ask your doctor about autism tests. ;>)

How you ask? By trying to avoid replying with one line, instead you just repeat it several times, as if that made some sort of difference.

And then you bring up logical fallacies, which only show how much you're one of those kids who thinks about "winning" conversations like this one. That's been clear from the start.

You just worded something so poorly that it implied a thing you didn't mean. It's okay, mistakes happen. But what isn't okay is this childish tantrum you're having. Publicly, might I remind you. Enjoy using this account (or should I say "alt") after this as everyone sees you squirming in this thread for days.

(Just a casual reminder I've been in threads like this that go on for weeks. I've never "lost" a single one, because there's nothing for me to "lose" as I like conversations and talking. You're just here because you have a tantrum when someone tells you you're we wrong. :D)

See the "now I'll try to turn the tables and accuse him of avoiding some nonsense I just made up"-phase is a pretty common one as well.

This isn't a thread about children's underwear, is it? You must have your private tabs confused with this thread.

You can continue this for weeks, but the only person you're lying to is yourself. Or do you think the average person can't see what you're doing?

Am I being pedantic, and an asshole? Yeah. But I'm not wrong. Like you were. And when I am, I actually admit to it. I'm here to write because I enjoy writing on forums. You're here because you can't wrangle your infantile ego.

If the girls from your school saw you acting like this, they'd laugh even harder than they previously did. (I assume you're in school, as I assume you're a child, as anyone adult having a tantrum like yours would be so much more shameful.)

All trivia games are just testing the luck of the players, right? Which one was most lucky to gifted their knowledge? Unless you just phrased something poorly?

This is a lesson for you. I gonna make you act so childishly that you're gonna remember it for the rest of your life and everytime you do, you'll cringe at how infantile you were. Can't wait to see what you'll devolve into by next week! If you're not a lost cause than that cringe you'll always carry with you might make you think twice about what you write and also make you more capable of accepting that you're fallible and mistakes happen.

Which is more an adult response to someone pointing out you've made a mistake?

So who are you talking to, because it's you who's spamming your fetishes, because you can't actually talk about why you're in the thread. Yet there's a reason you're compulsively replying. Can you explain why?

Like I said, I've seen this tantrum a thousand times and it always ends the same.

All because you have some hangup about going "you're right, I was wrong, it was poor wording, which implied..."

But you won't, just like I said like a dozen comments ago. I've sometimes gone a few weeks into these threads. It's genuinely hilarious how much people like you devolve, which just shows they were always just pretending. I don't need to. :)
