What is the #justification for US military strikes on #Iran? Right now, the answer changes every day.
Since #Israel & the #US launched attacks on Saturday, #Trump has offered several different #explanations for his decision. But his statements are being #contradicted by senior officials in his own administration, & even Netanyahu.
The White House named the mission in Iran Operation #EpicFury. Depending on what happens next, it may be viewed by many as Operation #EpicFailure. #auspol #USPol

Cutting Down Ockham's Razor via OpenMind Magazine [Shared]
We hear all the time that the simplest explanations are usually the right ones. This truth-testing idea—known as Ockham’s razor, after the English medieval philosopher William of Ockham—has been embraced by no less authorities than Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein. Today scientists invoke Ockham’s razor on topics ranging from Covid’s origins to cosmic dark matter, while folks debating a subject on social media regularly invoke it as their final arbiter. After all, why complicate something more than you need to? Isn’t it better to shave ideas down to their essential truths?

Do you know how fast the Speed of Light is? If there is a hypothetical Train that travels at the speed of light & runs around the Earth's circumference at the equator, then if you are waiting for that train on the platform, it will pass by that platform approximately 7 times in 1 second. 😲🤯

Notice how explanations don’t explain anything and fail to bring an end to questioning. As children we knew this very well. Always asking ‘why?’ to every explanation and answer given. We, and by definition, the Universe, are unknowable, like a ruler trying to measure itself.

#BangkokPost #editorial
" #Thaksin's proposal sounds good on a pamphlet, but it #needsmorework to ensure #fairness for all. The use of #publicfunds to fulfil an #unreasonable #populist #policy where only certain groups will benefit is #inappropriate. The era of #populism, in which #politicians just make big #promises without showing clear plans & a source of funding, should be over. Populist policies must come with thorough #explanations of where the money will come from"

You didn't say "#electronics"; you said he was ignorant of everything "#electrical", which I disagreed with. Very different things.
You may have noticed he doesn't really do anything much with electronics any more. His very earliest videos were electronics-related - hence the name/acronym - but nothing really since.
If you don't like his simple #explanations of #PWM control of #MOSFETs with feedback from Hall Effect sensors etc, fine, but they get the point across.

Leonid #Rozenblit and Frank #Keil: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3062901/
Abstract:
"People feel they understand complex phenomena with far greater precision, coherence, and depth than they really do; they are subject to an illusion—an illusion of explanatory depth. The illusion is far stronger for explanatory knowledge than many other kinds of #knowledge, such as that for facts, procedures or narratives. The illusion for explanatory knowledge is most robust where the environment supports real-time #explanations with visible mechanisms. We demonstrate the illusion of depth with explanatory knowledge in Studies 1–6. Then we show differences in overconfidence about knowledge across different knowledge domains in Studies 7–10. Finally, we explore the mechanisms behind the initial #confidence and behind #overconfidence in Studies 11 and 12. Implications for the roles of intuitive theories in models of #concepts and cognition are discussed." -
