    July 4th - 21st. Probably going to die from the heat but unfortunately it was the only time that worked for everyone.

    Hah, I'm there in June!

    The last time I went was in August and the heat was intense. Hopefully Spring is a bit nicer.

    Ooph, this whole changing clocks nonsense back and forwards with the seasons always kills my sleeping pattern.

    Not sure if I should make a whole new thread for this or not- and I don't really know how I'd formulate it in that case- but what are your thoughts on this?

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance



    It's one of those "Simple at first glance" axioms, "Tolerance can only be extended so far when the threat of life or property arises", but it can have surprising implications if you think about it.

    I'll vote on a thread for it. One way or another, i'd like to hear your thoughts on this subject.

    not saying you shouldn't, but why should you

  17. #200597
    I mean in the same vein I like this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunnin...3Kruger_effect and think we should talk about it

    but whether it deserves a thread on its own?

    It's one of those "Simple at first glance" axioms, "Tolerance can only be extended so far when the threat of life or property arises", but it can have surprising implications if you think about it.

    While i wait so see where this debate will take place, it reminded me both of the axion 'the exception that proves the rule' (more like enforces the rule) and of Lost Horizon, the book from where Shangri-La came from, and its idea of being moderate in all things, even in being moderate...

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunnin...3Kruger_effect Hm, my browser is pasting the link with those %12345 codes for non-alphanumeric characters... Think i'll just paste it like that and see the results.

    Still, as for the DuKrEff, from what i read, it's an interesting concept. On one hand it makes propositions about how people whose identity is based on the concept of beings who aren't their own selves will configure their comparative identities, as well as attaching the 'Narcissistic' concept (a rather cliche'd association, if you ask me) to the way such operations are performed.
    I think i have trouble believing in that research, because it seems to go along with, as mentioned, the cultural cliche that whenever someone looks on their own self, they'll evaluate that self to a higher level of competence than it would actually be qualified to; if analysed in scale, and given that most of us lack the necessary data to confirm or deny such research, i propose that one effect it'll result in (though i have no idea on how often will that effect happen) is that any self will try to undervaluate itself, given that our culture finds it forgivable to place one's own self on a lower level than it should actually be placed in, while it heavily condemns people placing themselves on a higher level than they actually should be placed.
    It might also be said that our culture actually estimulates individuals to degrade themselves, effectively, in a practice that rather resembles false modesty.

    I think it should be asked and debated: why the overall world culture estimulates every individual to try to degrade themselves and find that positive? Isn't that a little odd? From a logical standpoint, what's the difference between underevalution and overevaluation?

    On the other hand, an interesting way to deal with the DuKrEff would be to simply do away with the entire comparative identity, eliminate all of it, and simply act and exist without truly caring about creating an identity based on comparison altogether. 'I Am What I Am' would probably work just fine as a modus operandi here, and instead of trying to generate a functional identity based on reward and punishment according to how others perform, simply perform and see the results, while hoping that management doesn't love worshipping egos too much.

    On even further analysis, the DuKrEff is hard to approach because it might evoke doubts about one's own self, as well as generate the effect that others find themselves feeling under scrutiny, and therefore should behave with care. I think this could cause effects on both the individual and the collective self of a given being, but i believe that it would be wiser to simply proceed behaving while not stopping from acting, given that while communication might be important, i don't think that hierarchies are important, in fact.

    As a final note that kind of concept will usually generate an overall feel that someone might be trying to connote something. This might be an interesting effect, given that it'll generate a Tatari-like effect on an individual, where one's fears take shape and form. I haven't truly evaluated how this could affect different individuals, but this might be something worth of exploring, later, as it would no longer be something that takes shape in the collective subconscious, but instead, something that gets shape inside the individual subconscious. This seems to promise a lot of findings, in case it's further explored...
