      Some epistemologies are more helpful in understanding reality than others. There are a lot of epistemologies. Most are low accuracy. One must understand all of them to be able to empathize with all other points of view. Aint nobody got time for that. Instead we have a standardized epistemology available that everyone could learn and use to work with others in a multicultural world. We are all connected for the first time in the entire history of the universe. Thanks internet.

      Does it matter? You live up to your personal potential, in your case options beyond imagination. But isn't that exactly what we want? A lesser or mediocre human specimen having less success? I Value inclusion, but there are differences. Especially as a musician, I feel strongly for those who really get it, and less for those who don't. Is that wrong?

      There are 4 certainties in life: Death, Taxes, Stupidity and Change. We generally refuse to play an active roll when it comes to change or transformation. However, we might be driven to change the minute we see greater benefits coming from it, or by becoming aware of something we were not before.

    This is why I try to form strong opinions on personal experiences only. I take what others think with a grain of salt. To understand that I may very well be wrong in all my assumptions, and to never try to convince others of my beliefs because of it. If I’m asked I will share my opinions with the reasons I hold them. They can then form their own conclusions with the information.
    Get ready to not be liked by many people. I’ve found most people don’t like it when they can’t put you in a box. They need to easily “understand” you or they won’t try. They need to make sure you are on “their side”. People love labels and boxes.

      You should search-What is the meaning of empirical data?
      “Empirical implies that the information is based on (experience), and data is information we (gather) about something. Thus the information acquired by (scientists) through (experimentation) and (observation) is called empirical data.” I think one could call this life experience imo.
      Where does imperial data come from? Who collects it and interprets it? Has it ever been wrong in the past and does it ever change? If it were so easy to live life perfectly off the data others collect and give out why hasn’t that happened yet? If you’re just giving me your grain of salt that’s fine because that’s how I’m taking it. If you want to debate on this I’m not interested. All just give you this small essay as a token of good will. If you find joy living your life using “imperial data” that’s awesome. As for me, well my experience/ intuition tells me what to believe and how to live. Or you could call it my imperial data if you’d like. I understand your point, and I do take in a lot of information from areas other than my own personal experience. But at the end of the day, I’m the one that decides if I believe it or not. I don’t take anything as pure truth without question. And even then it’s subject to change with enough time and study. Kinda like the scientists that collect data and give it out as empirical. Again this is my way, you do what works for you.

    I read both your books: The Art of Living a Meaningless Existence and The Art of Living an Absurd Existence. I have never in my entire life read anything that I have been able to resonate with as much as these books. I suffer from childhood sexual trauma with abusive parents and it has affected my sense of meaning and purpose in life so greatly to where I could not find any for many years of my life. I am now in my late 20s, and I have found solace in your essays and philosophy through your books, and it has drastically changed my perspective and interpretation of things. I am now able to experience my existence with less pain, more wonder, and gratitude than I have ever been able to. I wanted to write this post to say thank you for the work you put into your passion, I am now able to heal from these tremendous wounds that have been afflicted on me from such a young age. From my perspective, you are doing incredible work for people that really need it. 🙏

      i dont know if he read this, but i did and i'm happy it's made some difference for you. you have a lot to work with so it likely won't be easy for you. i know it probably sounds trite by this point (but i myself have struggled with the tedium and frustration of this existence) you might consider learning about buddhism, specifically 'zen' buddhism or 'cha'n' buddhism (the chinese progenitor of zen).
      they say a lot about the nature of existence and minimizing pain and struggle but there are concrete exercises that you can learn, think about and practice that can offer real long-term perspective... which can pull us out of our myopic view of what happens in our daily lives and give us long term focus.
      since we may never speak again I'd recommend a book called 'zen flesh zen bones' by paul reps that is a translation of some zen texts. if you take the book wholly and slowly perhaps a day and an exercise/koan at a time, it may change your life completely - it truly did mine. but you have to look deeeep into the metaphors, they aren't saying what they seem to be on the surface. if you read one and think you get it immediately, you've obviously left something unexamined.
      at any rate, i wish you well on your journey. i want it to be light and learned and full of joy. good luck brother.

      How bad they are is debatable. For individuals, they can be bad, but biases towards the familiar can be beneficial.
      In each one of these cases, I can concoct a situation in which the delusion is good and another in which it's bad. If you want a yardstick for evaluating when it's bad, ask yourself and/or someone you trust. You can't see it, they may, and you should definitely leave if they're not sure.
      Inversely, these biases can also save us from rejecting people we love and who love is. We should give some leeway to those we care about, but it shouldn't be absolute.
      If somebody can't give you the same kindness you give them, you're not compatible, and one way or another, you should make sure you're not together. If you have some conscience and broadly demand more of someone else than you're willing to give you shouldn't be in that relationship, for their sake first and also for yourself, because that's a deep pool of loathing to wallow in.

      There are most certainly right and wrong ways to do nearly anything. The key is to identify at least the BASICS of any given task *prior* to delving into it. Ethics are clearly important. Studying the foundations of X, Y, or Z are as well. And obviously, we don't steal, keel people, tromp all over them, exploit them, nor do we lie. WE *CAN*, YES. But we shouldn't. Unfortunately, if you want to become wealthy, powerful, and influential, you will need to ignore those last three sentences. ;) No exceptions.

    I guess the halo effect is why I let the girl I wanted to be with treat me poorly, lead me on, and ultimately break my heart. I didn't see how things really were because it wasn't how I wanted it to be. I chased her for almost 5 years but last November I told her to not call or text me anymore and am proud of myself for finally putting an end to it. We all deserve to be treated and loved the way we want to be.

      Did she lead you on or were you projecting a relationship and hoping for it that you knew she had no intention of having with you...... because there are two sides to every coin and I have thought that people were my friend only to discover that they were putting up a false pretense and pretending to be my friend with the hope that someday they could get in my pants, guess what I now will not even speak to men who I don't consider fornicating with because I don't like being vilified for doing nothing wrong I don't like being told that I've led someone on when in no way shape or form have I communicated that I had any sexual interest in them.
      You lying being creepy and sipping is not the halo effect it's you living in delusion.
      I have experienced the halo effect with men I was actively romantically engaged with, I put up with the worst treatment ever from a guy who seems like all of his Ducks were in a row and he was a high-value man he wasn't studly or Chad like but he was pleasant, I let that man get away with murder because he already came with the image of hey I'm pretty perfect,,, nonsense is over all I can do is think back to one of my boyfriends who stalks were not in a row who treated me like gold whenever he was paying enough attention but because of his lifestyle and the pieces of trash he hung out with,, anyways I had zero patience with that man and if he had to pull the fraction of what my most recent text did I would have been out in record time

    We are in denial about being in denial. Our own brains manipulate our own brains. Relationships are two insecure individuals that use and tolerate each other for their own selfish needs and wants all for the fear of being alone. They are all toxic on some level and narcissistically controlled by one. This is not love and this is no way to live but most and many do out of fear. All relationships are full of lies, deceit and manipulative manipulation due to hate which comes from fear. Everything we do is out of fear. If everyone truly knew what everyone was thinking then no one would have any friends and relationships would not be a thing. Trust no one

      They used a Roulette wheel for their own experiment. It does not mean it was the game of casino roulette. Maybe it was all multiples of 5. It could've been random numbers or maybe just 10 & 5. Ok. I think I'll watch porn now. Bye

    I've recognized the first in myself many times, where I try to take on information from all sides of an issue and almost always feel myself leaning towards either my original assessment if it was made long ago or I will lean towards the most recent argument if I'm new to an issue completely. It's incredibly frustrating knowing that past me is just as capable of being wrong as present and future me and I always have to be cognizant of that or risk getting lost in a sea of hormones and hurt feelings, my own or other's.

    It is worth to learn lucid dreaming as well, that is the part of us as well. And it leads to better self understanding that your unconscious may be telling you, face and bear your fears and phoias. So powerful. Did it myself, it's been a long time since I had a lucid dream, still working to have another one, but can tell one thing, for those who never experienced it, it's pretty much life of thought changing experience. Worth to try.

    4:33 acc to psychology.. liking someone in general isn't psychological but getting psychologically biased is only psychology.. nowadays on social media psychology has become something diff than the study/talk of mental phenomenons and changes.. just like a diff subject which being unironically anotherworldly.. biases are mental phenomenon too affected by your perception and by the world around you.. this social media is pretty much of a psychological trick to biased to make us believe that this information is what we need.. and we end up taking up more useless info stored in our minds than we ever needed in our life or career and waste our precious time.

    I discovered one day that i had been making assumptions without realizing I had made them. Things that i "knew" complete with details but they were there without my ever having placed them in my mind. The ground crumbled beneath my feet and I haven't been the same since.
    But,
    Does it just seem this way?
    I can't be sure.
    When i build a conclusion, how am i supposed to know that I haven't quickly skipped over some assumptions?
    I know that I probably do.
    It's terrifying.
    Self delusion works because we don't know that it's taking place.

    Mere-Exposure Effect is *very* difficult for me to discern because I'm autistic. I tend to have a narrow range of tastes/sounds/visuals/etc that I like (or can even put up with some days) and it isn't always apparent whether I have self-selected those things I already like or if I've grown to like them because that is what is always around/available.

    Here are some novel ideas, equations, and algorithms that advocate for the primacy of zero (0) and dimensionlessness (0D) over non-zero numbers (1, 2, 3 and 4, etc.) and non-zero dimensions (1D, 2D, 3D and 4D, etc.) while striving for non-contradiction:
    1. The Zero-Point Field: In quantum field theory, the zero-point field is the lowest possible energy state of a quantum system. It suggests that even in the absence of matter or energy, there is still a fundamental, irreducible ground state that underlies all physical phenomena. This idea highlights the primacy of the zero-point as the foundation for all non-zero energy states.
    2. Null Basis Vectors: In linear algebra, the null space of a matrix is the set of all vectors that yield zero when the matrix is applied to them. By focusing on the null space and null basis vectors, we can uncover fundamental properties of a linear system that are independent of its non-zero components. This approach emphasizes the importance of the zero vector in understanding the underlying structure of a matrix.
    3. Infinitesimal Calculus: In non-standard analysis, infinitesimals are numbers that are smaller than any positive real number but greater than zero. By using infinitesimals, we can develop a calculus that is not based on limits or the concept of zero as a single point, but rather as a hyperreal number that is infinitely close to zero. This approach avoids some of the contradictions and paradoxes that arise in standard calculus, such as division by zero or the nature of infinitesimals.
    4. Dimensionless Physical Constants: In physics, there are several dimensionless constants, such as the fine-structure constant (α ≈ 1/137) or the proton-to-electron mass ratio (μ ≈ 1836), that are independent of the choice of units. These constants highlight the fundamental relationships between physical quantities that are not dependent on arbitrary dimensional scales. By focusing on dimensionless constants, we can uncover the intrinsic properties of physical systems that are not contingent upon non-zero dimensions.
    5. Topological Invariants: In topology, invariants are properties of a topological space that remain unchanged under continuous deformations or transformations. Many topological invariants, such as the Euler characteristic or the Betti numbers, are defined in terms of the connectivity and holes of a space, rather than its specific geometry or dimensions. By emphasizing topological invariants, we can capture the essential features of a space that are independent of its non-zero dimensional structure.
    6. Information Entropy: In information theory, entropy is a measure of the uncertainty or randomness in a system. The concept of zero entropy corresponds to a state of perfect order or predictability, while non-zero entropy indicates the presence of disorder or information content. By focusing on the zero entropy state as a fundamental reference point, we can develop a theory of information that is grounded in the absence of disorder, rather than its presence.
    7. Fourier Transform at Zero Frequency: In signal processing, the Fourier transform is used to decompose a signal into its frequency components. The value of the Fourier transform at zero frequency corresponds to the average or DC component of the signal, which represents its overall offset or baseline. By emphasizing the zero-frequency component, we can capture the fundamental level or background of a signal, independent of its non-zero frequency variations.
    These are just a few examples of how the concepts of zero and dimensionlessness can be emphasized and utilized in various fields of mathematics, physics, and information theory. By focusing on the primacy of zero and the intrinsic properties that are independent of non-zero numbers or dimensions, we can develop novel and non-contradictory frameworks that capture the essential features of complex systems and phenomena.
