A quotation from Mark Twain

Laws are coldly reasoned out and established upon what the lawmakers believe to be a basis of right. But customs are not. Customs are not enacted, they grow gradually up, imperceptibly and unconsciously, like an oak from its seed. In the fullness of their strength they can stand up straight in front of a world of argument and reasoning and yield not an inch.

Mark Twain (1835-1910) American writer [pseud. of Samuel Clemens]
Essay (1906), “The Gorky Incident,” Letters from the Earth (c. 1909; pub. 1962) [ed. DeVoto (1939)]

#Alphabet CEO #SundarPichai warns of “#irrationality” in the current #AIinvestment boom, likening it to the dotcom bubble. While acknowledging the potential for a market correction, he believes #AI will be a #profoundtechnology, impacting #jobs and requiring #societaladaptation. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cwy7vrd8k4eo

"Every company would be affected if the #AIbubble were to burst, the head of Google's parent firm Alphabet has told the BBC.
Speaking exclusively to BBC News, Sundar Pichai said while the growth of artificial intelligence (AI) investment had been an "extraordinary moment", there was some "#irrationality" in the current AI boom." #pop

A quotation from Wendell Berry

Surely the idea of a “limited war” is one of the most dangerously self-deceiving verbal gimmicks ever invented. For though war makes use of reason, as a weapon, it is not reasonable in nature. Its nature is the nature of pride and anger. It follows the brute logic of violent emotion, which points directly toward the use of the greatest available power.

Wendell Berry (b. 1934) American farmer, educator, poet, conservationist
Speech (1968-02-10), “A Statement Against the War in Vietnam,” Kentucky Conference on the War and the Draft, University of Kentucky

A quotation from Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.

Treat bad men exactly as if they were insane. They are in-sane, out of health, morally. Reason, which is food to sound minds, is not tolerated, still less assimilated, unless administered with the greatest caution; perhaps, not at all. Avoid collision with them, so far as you honorably can; keep your temper, if you can, — for one angry man is as good as another; restrain them from violence, promptly, completely, and with the least possible injury, just as in the case of maniacs, — and when you have got rid of them, or got them tied hand and foot so that they can do no mischief, sit down and contemplate them charitably, remembering that nine tenths of their perversity comes from outside influences, drunken ancestors, abuse in childhood, bad company, from which you have happily been preserved, and for some of which you, as a member of society, may be fractionally responsible.

Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (1809-1894) American poet, essayist, scholar
Article (1860-08), “The Professor’s Story [Elsie Venner],” ch. 16 [The Professor], Atlantic Monthly, Vol. 6, No. 34

STAYC -- Yoon

Bangs or no bangs, Yoon is quite beautiful.

I have no idea what Yoon is really like as a person, but I find myself believing she must be nice, even though life, literature, and common sense warn against inferring good character from good looks.

I don’t see the arguments made by transphobes as being made by a genuine concern for scientific inquiry or wanting to establish a better understanding of the effects of gender-affirming care.

"An irrational belief in irrational ideas usually leads to irrational results" - Futurist Jim Carroll

So let's try and figure out what's going on.

I took today's quote, fed it to ChatGPT, and got the picture above which I used for today;'s 'inspiration' image.

Look, in the last little while, I've looked into the Science of Stupidity,  the Science of Mistakes, and The Science of Regret. So why not the Science of Irrational Decisions, which I learned is often referred to as "cognitive distortions." There's a lot to be found online to explain where we are.  Charts and stuff that explain the many different types of irrational decisions aka cognitive distortions.

There's even a course or two to take on it.

It's a fascinating topic, and as expected, there's a lot of research to be found. It's a wonderful rabbit hole to plunge into because you will find such papers as 
Overcoming Cognitive Distortions; How to Recognize and Challenge the Thinking Traps that Make You Miserable.

That tracks. People seem to be pretty miserable right now because of the cognitive distortions they've gone through that got us to where we are today.
And, as might expected, there is to be a leadership / personal growth book about it, with the title Predictably IrrationalL: The Hidden Forces that Shape our Decisions, released back in 2008. It probably could use an update!

So let's dig in, shall we? Let's talk about why folks make poor choices about big economic and political issues that end up hurting everyone. 

Here's what the science tells us. When people vote against their economic interests or support harmful policies, it's rarely because they're stupid. Their brains just don't always work in their best interest when dealing with complex global systems. Why is that? Our brains take shortcuts. We use mental rules of thumb that help us make quick decisions. This works fine for everyday choices but fails miserably when considering trade policy, inflation control, voting, or healthcare systems.

What happens to people in this circumstance? They get emotional about political and economic issues. Fear, anger, and tribalism cloud their judgment. When someone supports tariffs that will ultimately hurt local businesses because they sound "tough on foreign competition" - that's emotional reasoning drowning out economic reality. It's cognitive dissonance, plain and simple.

The kicker is that the condition leads to great uncertainty, which fuels itself creating more uncertainty in a vicious spiral.

It's complex, folks, and there is no easy way out.

Buckle up.

Read the rest of the post.

A la mierda la Navidad, es una puta pérdida de tiempo.
Que le jodan a Santa, sólo quiere tu dinero.
Que se joda el acebo, la hiedra y el muérdago.
Bastardos gordos de barba blanca tocando campanas donde quiera que vayas.
Y los hombres hinchados en los centros comerciales todos haciendo ho-ho-ho.
Es la puta Navidad otra vez.

A la mierda la Navidad, es un maldito show de Disney.
Que se jodan los renos y toda esa puta nieve.
A la mierda los villancicos y a la mierda Rudolph y su estúpida nariz de mierda.
Putas campanas de trineo tintineando donde quiera que vayas.
A la mierda los calcetines y a la mierda las compras, nos vuelven locos a todos.
Dile a los elfos que se jodan.
Es Navidad otra vez.

Bastardos sentimentales...
_____________

Fuck Christmas, it's a waste of fucking time
Fuck Santa, he's just out to get your dime
Fuck holly and fuck ivy and fuck all that mistletoe
White-bearded big fat bastards ringing bells where'er you go
And bloated men in shopping malls all going ho-ho-ho
It's fucking Christmas time again

Fuck Christmas, it's a fucking Disney show
Fuck reindeer and all that fucking snow
Fuck carols and fuck Rudolph and his stupid fucking nose
Fucking sleigh bells tinkling everywhere you fucking go
Fuck stockings and fuck shopping, it just drives us all insane
Go tell the elves to fuck themselves
It's Christmas time again

You sentimental bastards...

I have a measure of #irrationality, cranked my ratpak up to 1024 digits here are sqrt(2) sqrt(sqrt(2)) (sqrt(sqrt(sqrt(2))) note each nesting produces a less spiky #frequencyplot in other words sqrt(2) is closer to an undoing (^2) than the others, so yeah now I can search for constants we don't know how to write algebraically.

What is the answer to strengthening a neurotic, overly rational form of #psychology along w/ a weakening #democracy? #OttoRank: The only remedy is an acceptance of the fundamental #irrationality of the human being and life in general. https://bit.ly/4foSAB5

Earlier this month, #Trump dropped out of a scheduled 60 Minutes interview… & he refuses to debate #KamalaHarris a 2nd time.

The doctors portray him as akin to a disgruntled grandpa who says things that embarrass his relatives & needs a check-up: “As we saw in the first presidential debate, Trump is displaying #irrationality & irritability. Notably, he ranted about migrants eating people’s cats & dogs. This was widely debunked as untrue.”

Reasoning in Psychopathology; Rationality and Irrationality in Mental Disorders by Valentina Cardella & Amelia Gangemi, 2024

Reasoning in Psychopathology adopts a pragmatic conception of reasoning, demonstrating how people with mental disorders develop characteristic strategies of reasoning depending on the particular disorder they have and the emotions they experience.
