@integral so it's not stupidity anymore just low consciousness? A misnomer

It helps to have delved into and mastered rationality, prior to deconstructing it. Otherwise you fall into trap of unexamined contradiction, emotional preference and loose associative thinking (there are more traps it appears, these are just some obvious ones).

@integral I think stupid was defined pretty accurately above, and without baggage.

@LordFall read again, appears like your view of humanity is incoherent.

How disappointing.

I think it could be circulation problems - he has thyroid issues he takes medication for. His eyes are constantly looking very irritated which I don't quite understand. Unless he has Graves disease. Eye irritation can be linked to thyroid issues. He looks worse than be did prior to losing the weight, but he reports to feel better + better health data.

Holy fuck. I hate it. Stop doing this 🤣💀

So you think homeless people use cardboard because they saw another homeless person do it, and function + abundance of material has no influence?

Let's not forget social / health influencers exist to sell you things. Housing, income, food access, education, social connection / safety, stress, safety, healthcare access - these are bigger social determinants of health. These things have a bigger impact on people's health than any morning routine ever will. But many of these issues dont have the ability to sell you something. Bryan's stuff tends to mix the two. Bullshit it always served up along with truth. There is something being sold. Sleep - wearables/mattress, food - his suppliment line etc. Fitness - wearables. Air - filters. Hair - red light caps. Temperature monitors. It goes on. Health "influencers" are not legitimate forms of information, they are generally just freelance marketers with affiliate links. Don't forget this. The presentation can create an illusion that health is mostly a technological optimization problem. It's wise to approach the social influencer ecosystem with the same skeptesism you would advertising.

@zazen was hoping you would duck into this thread. Appreciate the contribution

We would have to ask him that for sure. He reports he suffered greatly when he used to binge junk food every night after 7pm. I understand this was very distressing for the guy. He said he needed external help to overcome this binging - the structure of blueprint and the experiment itself assisted with the drive to stop. He for sure felt it was a big problem in his life. Huge theme he speaks about it many podcasts.

He doesn't dismiss it could be the case. Spoken openly in a podcast.

Crushed into a fine powder we can snort

I am so glad I don't work in a field half this hype can affect. AI is stupid as fuck with plans. It has zero intuition. Estimating a large commercial project is the wildest shit I have seen. It has a long way to go - and it's not going to get there within even 2 years. In estimating there is no clean feedback loop, variables aren't constrained, rules aren't legible AT ALL, and failure can fold your business. Estimating / bidding has nothing to do with arithmetic or quantity extraction - which is why AI falls on it's face. Even Bluebeam max with claude ain't it.

Are we forgetting that LLM's are programmed with guidelines, and that they are trained on OUR data, OUR thoughts? You can try to claim most human insights aren't quality or helpful. But - this is a huge brainfart LOL What you do think LLM's are regurgitating at you? Humans are the substrate! Some people here are really buying into the hype and getting carried away with fantastical thinking. HUR DUR

He doesn't deny he has a food addiction / eating disorder type pathology. I suspect his whole rigid & controlled lifestyle is a manifestation of this sort of issue.

Damn, wtf, cardboard is actually a cheap and decent thermal insulator.

@Rafael Thundercat A lot of followers describe a supposed “solipsistic realization” as though it arrived free of interpretation. Pure, immediate & undeniable. But the second they begin explaining it, you often see an entire contraband metaphysical framework being snuck in beneath it. Straight up you can see it is a simple belief adopted.

Yep - and for myself I need context around a person to diagnose them with 'stupid'. One or two interactions can easily be chalked down to ignorance, or just a different way of taking in and processing information that we do not comprehend as easily. Coupled with the above - people's own survival gets in the way of each other. If we present as an obstruction to someone's needs, they can perform apparent acts of ignorance OR stupidity (out of selfishness). If we cannot explain someone's actions we tend to slap them with a label - and that label can be a severe limitation in our understanding that person further. Blunting natural curiosity and good faith openness. Humans are pattern making machines. We fail to see we are making patterns of the fragmented parts of another. And not the whole.

You could argue this - ignorance is separate and distinct from stupid. They are not synonymous. Ignorance is more about a lack of knowing or understanding. It is a state. Stupid is outlining an inherent capacity or limit on the ability to know and understand. But - I think you are correct in highlighting the OP's list is more about a state (ignorance), over an inherent intellectual limitation (stupidity). In either case, pragmatically, the outcome can be the same. Mechanism differs.

No, thank you.

It requires a lot of concept & assumptions, actually.
