Inside the Mind of a Psychotic - Dr. Ragy Girgis, DemystifySci #410

The 70's was a time when economic stress became norm. Before people went to the store they asked what can I get that will last the longest so I do not have to work on it again. Afterwards they went to the store and asked for the cheapest part they could get that would do the job. Union jobs began to decline and the hit job was Reagan economics that we are still under.

Yes! Excellent insight: "these platforms are infrastructures people spend their psychic reality operating within and they aren't public, they are private with private goals" (probably not an exact quote, but close enough)

18:58: 😂 shilo: but how are you measuring benefit Mouth flapper: reliably 😂

I got to the intro before i had to say that it's the breakdown of the family unit.

The placebo effect is the most important law of the universe, the same as the “law of manifestation” or call it what you will. The sad part is that that’s not “scientific” enough for your taste so you will forever be cut off from the truth. Don’t worry it all works out in the end. If you accept this simple truth that solves all human problems, but then you do not have a podcast and a lifestyle. I wish you the best, and love to see well meaning, happy, successful people having intellectual fun, as the truth spoils the party and I’m no party pooper. Holding on to “Twinkle, twinkle little star, how I wonder ... is not a crime after all. Go for it, love you guys on style alone.

A little humorous quote, Dr. Girgus about to talk about AI psychosis and Sycophancy "you are 100% correct, exactly right...incredible" 😃

Yes, John Searle's argument about syntax vs. semantics for artificial intelligence makes sense here

I've taken medication for paranoid schizophrenia for over three decades, and it hasn't one time taken away what people call my delusions. 🙂

In your road analogy, if it were privatized, and the owner of that road restricted peoples rights, the word would get out that it is a bad road and therefore traffic would stop going down that road and the owner would lose income from the tolls and people would go down the good road where rights are not restricted and that road owner would gain income from the tolls. There are these checks and balances and that is why libertarianism/free will/free markets are almost always the best solution. The caveat is obviously that it needs to be pure libertarianism, absolute free will, and perfectly free markets. Free association, no monopoly on violence, universally voluntary exchanges between consenting individuals, and absolute sovereignty of private proptery rights. Every transaction needs to be voluntary. The caveat is obviously that it needs to be pure libertarianism, absolute free will, and perfectly free markets (not just money markets but the markets of ideas as well). The subjective theory of value makes the most sense to me (beauty is in the eye of the beholder) but what do I know. I'm just a random guy from Maine with ideas. Your hypothesis that government roads are a better idea could be equally or more valid.
