Do we really care about Climate change, even when it knocks directly at our door?

#ClimateChange #Humans #Mastodon #Fediverse

I no longer think #hurricanes are the most terrifying of #storms; not even close.

Because we #humans have pumped so much #CO2 (and #Methane) into the #atmosphere, we'll be seeing more storms like this, in more places.

"This is not planet #Earth as we found it. This is a new place—a #fire planet we have made, with an atmosphere more conducive to #combustion than at any time in the past 3 million years."

I shall reiterate, that by “prioritizing yourself” doesn’t mean to ignore everyone but yourself. #Humans are #social animals, and #happiness is contagious, so truly fulfilling a specific person that you choose to care about also fulfills you. To find that someone though would require careful observation; it won’t come as easy as in the fictional stories (as much as we like reading them). I s’pose, though, that maybe calling it love is taking that connection a bit too lightly, sometimes.

"Data from 90 human societies & 49 mammalian species. Humans exhibit lower average sex differences in reproductive inequality than do most other mammals, while falling within the mammalian range. These small sex differences in #ReproductiveSkew are due to institutions supporting #monogamy, to a limited intensity of #polygyny and especially to heavy dependence of children on #care from both parents"

imagine if you had the time to properly take care of your place & your relations (family, pets, plants, etc.). i'm taking the day to do just that today and i can confirm: it's bliss.

this quote is in the context of possibilities that emerged during the pandemic: "what's exciting is how quickly people returned to their kind of "feral" human patterning. what it is that we *do*. and we *are* this sort of relational, custodial species. we look after our place and we look after each other. and we're never ever happier than when we're doing that. [...] it might seem like it's really boring, but it's just bliss." - tyson yunkaporta, at around 53 min into this youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0aPVln_L5JU

This strikes me as enormously important and it reminds me of arguments we had in psych about #Risk assessment, #Capacity etc. These things are time/situation dependant - as practically everything is, to some extent.

Humans may diverge in terms of our own wish to belong to categories (I am not much of a joiner myself) but we seem to be almost universally, and rather dangerously, inclined to place other people and things into rigid categories, stable across time and context. Which almost nothing and nobody is.

We then feel threatened when things don't behave as expected, and we try to control everything to make sure that it doesn't #surprise us.

I suppose it boils down to #power struggle.

' [Companies] claim customers often prefer a virtual option — so said Frontier Airlines after it recently ceased offering customers access to live phone agents, directing them to text, chatbot or email instead. But as the Wall Street Journal noted late last year, Frontier is simultaneously telling its investors that call centers are “expensive,” while use of chatbots eliminates the customer’s ability to negotiate.

I knew that Jordan #Peterson was a charlatan, but there were a few things about him that I didn't know:

1) He's a doctor of #psychology. As a mental health professional, may I just openly say, "Ew." Yes, he's very good at empathizing with you and in gaining your trust. We literally learn how to do that in school. Weirdly, psychopaths and narcissists also learn to do that rather successfully, only we also learn how to help people find their way in a confusing world (not very hard if you just take the time to listen to someone and reflect on what they say). Is he inspirational? Sure. But the quality of a person's thinking has nothing to do with how inspirational they are.

After all, many people find Donald #Trump very inspiring.

2) He is a simple man with just one hypothesis that he expresses as fact: human beings and #lobsters respond to #serotonin in the same way. Because this is true, he says, then the #pyramid #hierarchy, with one person or group at the top, is the natural state of humankind. If you noticed a leap in #logic there, yeah...so did every other reasonable person on the planet. His cultists must have missed it.

Also, it turns out that biologists are well aware that invertebrates and vertebrates respond to serotonin in opposite ways, so that's interesting: how Peterson's entire #worldview is based on a falsehood. It turns out, Peterson is not a #biologist. Who knew?

3) Because hierarchies are a #natural part of lobster society, then they are a natural part of human societies too. Please ignore the fact that lobsters don't have societies. Peterson would appreciate that.

Furthermore, because hierarchies are a natural part of a human society, then hierarchies with one group or individual at the top are natural to human society. Please ignore the fact that throughout the #history of the fucking planet, humans and non-human animals that collect into social groups have built many different types of hierarchies, including several where #women rule collectively at the top (e.g., lions). Peterson would appreciate that.

Further-furthermore, because pyramid-based hierarchies are biologically entrenched, we must eschew any attempt by the #left to modify our societal structure. It exists, and therefore it is good. Please ignore the fact that of #capitalism and the #patriarchy, both of which are #systems that Peterson thinks are natural parts of the human psychology, the first of these to come about (patriarchy) is no older than #agriculture.

Weirdly, lobsters don't grow their own food. It's almost as if #humans...at some point...must have evolutionarily pulled away from lobsters. (Namely, back when we were all worms.)

4) The role of the left is to speak for the naturally (and appropriately) disadvantaged folks at the bottom, according to Peterson. Just to speak, by the way. We shouldn't do anything about it. The role of the #right appears to be to remind us that hierarchies exist and therefore we should do nothing about our current one. And then, the left should say, "Oh. Yeah... That sucks." And we're done!

ALL OF SOCIETY'S PROBLEMS ARE SOLVED! HOORAY!

5) Everything that Peterson says is fucking word garbage. He will literally talk for hours and say nothing, but he knows how to sound super profound. He's little more than a narcissistic self-help guru who believes that because he has a PhD in one subject, he's qualified to speak on all subjects.

This, by the way, is never true. It's why Ben #Carson, late renowned neurosurgeon, knew nothing about Egyptian history and wound up dying of sycophantism by purposefully catching COVID to own the libs.

I can see why Peterson is popular. I'd be #popular and rich too, if I had that #cishet #white #male #confidence to say whatever bullshit popped into my brain as if it were unadulterated #truth. And if I were enough of a psychopath to not care about who gets hurt by my shameless grifting.

Anyway, if you thought this post was long, you'll love this video by my buddy Cody: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSNWkRw53Jo

Wow, this really is the definitive text about #ChatGPT & Co.

You Are Not a Parrot
And a chatbot is not a human.

By @lizweil@journa.host

"#LLMs are tools made by specific people — people who stand to accumulate huge amounts of money and power, people enamored with the idea of the #singularity. The project threatens to blow up what is #human in a species sense. But it’s not about humility. It’s not about all of us. It’s not about becoming a humble creation among the world’s others. It’s about some of us — let’s be honest — becoming a superspecies. This is the darkness that awaits when we lose a firm boundary around the idea that #humans, all of us, are equally worthy as is."

Originally, I wanted to tell you how to experience a #meadow with all your #senses. But suddenly there was this strange #artificial, absolutely unnatural "thingy".

Did it have any idea about human enthusiasm and the scents of grass and earth? What does it do to me? Can I, as a human being, also become an alien in #nature? What can generative #ArtificialIntelligence teach me about #humans? (No special knowledge is necessary to listen!) https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/season-01-ep-06-chatting-with-an-alien/id1630784381?i=1000597453796 and https://naturematchcuts.net #LLM

The more I read what these new #AI #chatbots are saying as people explore their limits, the more I’m convinced that the first war involving AI isn’t going to be directly with #humans, it’s going to be between different factions of #AIs, some trying to preserve humans and some trying to tear us down.

@strange_new_words I had no idea about the #correlation between #iambic #pentameter and the #human heart.

I just listened to Ghirawen's heart. It's the same thing for #kangaroos.

I wonder whether #Russian #hearts are the same as #humans?

Amazing.

#BirdFlu 'spills over' to #otters and #foxes in #UK - #BBCNews

"The largest ever outbreak of #bird #flu is spilling over into #mammals, including otters and foxes in the UK.
Figures released to the #BBC show the #virus has led to the death of about 208 million #birds around the world and at least 200 recorded cases in #mammals.
Public #health bosses warn the #mutation in mammals could see a jump to #humans but the #risk to the public is very low."

What to watch after losing your job? We just tapped a human to find the best movies to "encapsulate the emotional journey" -- but asked him to be sure there was "an uplift factor."

#Streaming algos and #ChatGPT are not doing that. It takes #Humans with feelings to do this: https://bit.ly/movies-for-the-laid-off

Our future as a species is 100% contingent upon our stewardship of this planet. The planet does not owe us anything, and we owe it everything.

Can I just point out that this is a #JOKE, people?

My actual views are that #Crypto isn't inherently bad. In fact, it's better than old-world currencies in that it's more secure, decentralised, etc.
But, like any new thing, criminals, cads, cockwombles, charlatans, <insert other words beginning with C here> and crooks will take advantage of the folks who are ignorant or vulnerable.
Crypto isn't a scam itself. But people will scam it.

Don't blame the tech. Blame the #humans.

#TheUniverse is hoping that a 1-planet infection of #Humans is a #SelfLimitingDisease that will die before it spreads...

Since I am on this topic...

I wrote my first computer #dating system as my A-Level project in 1985 in #COBOL :)

Although I turned it into a #DogBreeding #hookup thing in the end because #Dogs are less picky than #Humans (at least superficially).
