Misanthropy in cognitive sciences

Misanthropy ( maybe a good startup name ) in cognitive sciences.

1. Many humans celebrate the act of living. This coalesces into a treatment of the brain as a joyful machine - lovingly and wonderfully operational. So, there is this current of trying to make machines more like humans, because there is a prejudice that humans are the best template.

2. On the other hand, I think life is boring. And I'll be damned if my brain hasn't been the dumbest piece of shit machinery I've ever had the chance to work with. So my prejudices in cognitive sciences (and politics in general) tends to be about fixing all the things that human brains are bad at.

I think each camp finds the other superficially appalling :P 

apa lagi Kita mahu?

 Walaupun tak sedap dengar, dan disebut kasar, rasanya :

1. rakyat Malaysia yang mengutamakan ketuanan Islam dan/atau Melayu, PATUT lah kukuh, satu, dan mantap, pada perjuangan bagi mengundangkan keutamaan ini ke dalam Perlembagaan Negara dan undang-undang yang seterusnya

1a. kerana, kini tiada perundangan yang menyokong niat itu, secara tersurat dan meyeluruh

2. sebenarnya, tanah hanya ruang yang terjajah berturut-turut oleh kuasa yang naik dan turun

2a. ketamadunan tanah kita yang mulia, pra-Eropah ... hasil tikaman dan pendamaian antara satu sama lain, ditikam pulak penjajah Eropah, dan seterusnya ditikam Jepun, dan seterusnya muktamad dalam kelemahannya, JADI terjadinya bentuk yang kita dapat pada 1957 - hakikatnya, bentuk KINI adalah AKIBAT [ kelemahan, ataupun kekuatan, ataupun rezeki ] DULU

3. secara am, setiap meter padu saat di tanah ini adalah peluang sementara bagi sesiapa pun yang berada, bagi membentuk dunia supaya menyerupai kemahuan dirinya

3a. perundangan hanya tatacara sementara, dan wajib berubah mengikut masa, sejauh kita tahu sehingga hari ini

4. apa lagi Kita mahu?

4a. siapa pula Kita?

anthropology of exhaustion

A strategy of parents, lovers, dictators, and employers alike, is to respond to complaints with policies designed to exhaust the complainer. 

Therefore, it is important for any leader to fully comprehend the exhaustion strategically administered to the masses of society, by inserting themselves into roles of exhaustion. This is rudimentary anthropology. It is why the rich send their children to do poor jobs, from time to time. 

You cannot control what you do not comprehend. Trust is control, and that is usually won by compassion and congratulations.
