How do people perceive you offline?

Post Reply New Topic

People think I'm really intelligent.

Also very talkative, direct and blunt, and rather bossy.

I lead people and conversations, because I can't follow other people's thoughts. I don't understand their intentions. I push them to their limits (which of course was too low in my opinion). I hurt a lot of feelings, but luckily I don't really care. People are way too sensitive. They should all be purely rational.

So ya, probably the opposite of a lot of people here, but lacking social skills all the same.

Maybe I am way off what you guys and gals are talking about but a thought struck me. Could it be that the way people vote in elections reflects their individual character? I think very much so. Any oppinions?

Smart
Nice
Shy
Quiet in general, but when I do speak, I know what I'm talking about because I have studied.
Passionate about activities I choose
Cat lover (and animal lover in general)

Jordan Peterson believes so. He states that conscientious people vote conservative, and open people vote liberal: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NwibFhqh5k0

But, AI has an incredible impact on human voting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ULLJ_2MR0Ok

Essentially, it wants you to be predictable; that way, you'll click what it offers more often (thereby generating ad revenue). And to make you that way, it polarizes you with the content it offers (c.f. Filter Bubbles). It doesn't matter which camp you move toward, as long as you become extreme. The saving grace is that you can't be an extremist unless there's a camp to be extreme against. Thus, we retain (easily-manipulated) near-equilibrium.

Its wrong isn't it. I mean. Machines predicting outcomes before the people area given a say. I think we need to start a revolt against machines that use AI. Machines are supposed to be an aid and not to take over from us.

Even if that worked, it wouldn't achieve your goal. The AI is creating propaganda, and propaganda is an unavoidable and perhaps even essential part of an interconnected society (specifically: via media). And contrary to popular belief, education makes you most prone to its effects, not against its effects.

In short, as long as there's mass media: psychological tactics (c.f. Judgment and Decision Making [JDM]) and emotional manipulation (etc) will always control the masses. The only solution is to dissolve all mass media, and I certainly don't want that.

Instead, we need people with high morals controlling mass media, rather than what we have now (CNN, etc.).

Education brainwashing...

Odd,weird.

No...I don't believe voting for one particular person determines "character," necessarily.

I'm of a liberal mind-bent---but I've been irritated by people who vote liberal. Whereas, I am in accord with some who vote conservative.

But you are talking about the *far* left (and *far* right in terms of emotionalism/one-eyed-tunnel-vision ).
Hardly typical or normal people.
Fringe on the bell curve stuff and nonsense.
Most adults don't fall into that, surely.

Caffeine rulz!

Few and far between, unfortunately.

"Typical" and "quite common" (sp) are similar but not the same. Although my experience has been that most adults behave this way (typical, and perhaps I'm failing to confirmation bias), it's far more common among progressives.

Indeed.

It's only a side note, but I'm thinking it's entirely possible that someone could be a racist, bigoted, sexist, homophobic xenophobe all at the same time. There are certainly some at the extreme end who throw labels out way too liberally (pun sort of intended).

I'm fairly far left, although I see the intersectional politics and emotionality to be psychosocial weapons in accordance to the realities of human psychology (self-group interests, bandwagoning, "pathetic" appeals, etc.) that are necessary to accomplish far left political goals, namely the liberation from birth lottery in terms of QOL due to possessing a favorable intersection of privileges, many of which can be quantified in data. The approach appears to be recruiting more individuals than it turns off, if one is examining the rise of far left popularity in the past decade. It is demonstrably a stronger influence in the political arena than previously.

I think it's unfair to dismiss the fringes of the bell curve, as Pepe suggested. How is that bell curve constructed, after all? It is through the opinions (often manipulated by powerful interests with a stake in maintaining the status quo) of NT individuals who are emotionally driven and hyper vulnerable to fallacious appeals to their cognitive biases. I can, however, understand an appeal to centrism from a "faith in systems, law, and procedure" perspective, especially from a desire for security and order with minimized uncertainty in a rapidly changing global environment.

Wow! Did this thread get derailed or what!

Same as you, except that I don't have a dog

Certainly not everyone tells me how they perceive me

Nor should they

Penis told me that I was "grumpy"
