psychology of compliance

I started studying psychology before I was three. I remember learning how to A/B test responses to my mum's attempts to modify my behaviour. It was pretty obvious that you give people what they want, in order to get them to comply with your preferences. To this day, I don't understand the approach of forcing people to do things, and hoping that they will stay compliant forever. 😎 At that time, I didn't think my mum was very smart. But I suppose it was her first time raising a kid. 

SNS x PSNS : and sex

Imbalanced sex overstimulates the sympathethic nervous system/ SNS, and keeps me awake. Vagus nerve ( parasympathetic/ PSNS ) stimulation is quite important for getting rested. Or something like that. 

Sex, masturbation, physical exercise, whatever. I find that my neural focus should be on the PSNS because I spend most of my normal life activating the SNS.

That's why developmental athletics competes with book work for me, it's alll SNS. I don't eat or socialise to relax much, except for sex.

Meta ethics, and games

What is ethics, and why is it important? Well essentially, ethical systems are synthetic models of causality ... basically they are games. The cognitive capability to play games, is a side effect of the capability to think about hypothetical scenarios. The study of the Golden Rule is a simple approach to observing this. Anyway, what is culture, and the purpose of life, but a synthetic game? 

As to why there exist synthetic games, and gamers, now we are on to metaphysics, the ontological question, and the anthropic principles. 

why science is controversial

Most people don't know how to access science. 

1. Science is a method, that produces probabilistic models of risk. 

2. Folks who can't brain statistics, have no choice but to trust scientists. Is this science? No, this is faith. 

3. As a result, scientism, the faith in statements claiming to be scientifically determined, is actually what most people get about science. Shadows on a wall. 

4. The business of throwing shadows is governed, at more levels. Now scientism is in politics.

ressons to marry, in Malaysia

In Malaysia, often marriage is all about the money. I think I will start telling people, I have no money, and I don't want your money ... so there is no reason to get married. In Malaysia, pre-nuptial agreements are not enforceable in secular marriage.

Religion is a secondary issue, but since I am not religiously pro-marriage, I do not consider this aspect of marriage. Romance, the notion of a fairy-tale ride-or-die, I consider a game for idiot children, and encourage no one to practice it. 

Over the past five years I've met so many divorcees on dating apps. Many of my former partners have since, gotten married. I've never been married. I made a proposal once to a friend in college, but they were not interested.

I hope that the one thing people can learn from me, is that relationships of all sorts are primarily a form of business. Family, friend, and lovers, are all balances of trade. One can manage these effectively if one practices transparent and simple governance. When less clear language and protocol is introduced, humanity regresses to primitive notions of kinship. Such is the lay of the land.

japanese running u-turn

Was trying to figure out what a "japanese runner u turn" was, and it's essentially a three-stride manoeuvre :

1. Inside leg pushes away from turn, outside leg reaches away from turn ( centre of gravity moved into turn : countersteering )

2. Outside leg lands away from turn, as body drops to lower centre of gravity ( continuing analogy with countersteering)

3. Outside leg pushes into turn ( maximising force in turning direction, due to 1, 2 ), inside leg reaches into turn

4. Inside leg lands in pivot position

5a. Body pivots around 4, rotating into turn, or

5b. Body pivots around 4, rotating away from turn

6a/b. Outside leg lands in whichever manner is appropriate based on 5a/b precedence, then applies maximum braking force ( and force absorption), then initiates kick-off in new ( 180-degree ) direction, including partial redirection of any absorbed for

7. Inside leg lands, and begins compensatory adjustment to resume straightline running
