Infinity, is it a trap?

I don't know. But, I recently had an experience that had me question everything. 

It felt like a trap at the time but it also was the truest thing I ever understood and it was hard.

Fundamental Attribution Error: Overemphasizing personal characteristics and ignoring situational factors when judging others' behavior.

Also, a tricky one when you break it down and integrate it into a larger web.

This is a huge error! I was reading through the list of cognitive errors and I thought this was an interesting one to share.

You know what? 

Here is all 20 from chat gpt:

Certainly! Here are 20 types of cognitive errors:

Confirmation Bias: The tendency to search for, interpret, and remember information in a way that confirms one's preconceptions.

Anchoring: Relying too heavily on the first piece of information encountered (the "anchor") when making decisions.

Availability Heuristic: Estimating the likelihood of events based on their availability in memory; events that come to mind more easily are presumed to be more common.

Overconfidence Effect: The tendency to overestimate one's own abilities or the accuracy of one's beliefs.

Hindsight Bias: The tendency to see events as having been predictable after they have already occurred.

Representativeness Heuristic: Assessing the probability of an event based on how similar it is to the typical case, rather than on actual statistical probability.

Self-Serving Bias: Attributing positive events to one's own character but attributing negative events to external factors.

Fundamental Attribution Error: Overemphasizing personal characteristics and ignoring situational factors when judging others' behavior.

Framing Effect: Drawing different conclusions from the same information, depending on how it is presented.

Sunk Cost Fallacy: Continuing a behavior or endeavor due to previously invested resources (time, money, effort) rather than current benefits.

Negativity Bias: Giving more weight to negative experiences or information than positive.

Bandwagon Effect: The tendency to adopt beliefs, ideas, or behaviors because others are doing so.

Cognitive Dissonance: The discomfort experienced when holding two or more conflicting cognitions, leading to attempts to reduce the inconsistency.

Illusory Correlation: Perceiving a relationship between variables (typically people, events, or behaviors) even when no such relationship exists.

Halo Effect: The tendency for an impression created in one area to influence opinion in another area.

Gambler's Fallacy: The belief that future probabilities are altered by past events, when in reality they are independent.

Base Rate Fallacy: Ignoring general information (base rates) and focusing on specific information.

Projection Bias: Assuming that others share the same beliefs, values, or experiences as oneself.

Egocentric Bias: Overestimating the extent to which one's own actions or experiences are noticed or considered by others.

False Consensus Effect: The tendency to overestimate how much others agree with our own beliefs, values, or behaviors.

Understanding these cognitive errors can help in developing strategies to mitigate their effects, leading to more rational and objective decision-making.

I have a large Egocentric Bias in social relationships that is highly based on wrong assumptions and guesses. I suspect this is due to being alone to often in my life. I benefit from more social relating.

I fell straight
Into your arms
Like a drunk
Who's been on it
All morning
And the sun's up
And my head's fucked

And immediately I grabbed you
You go all red
Like the first time
I love it when you do that
God, I love it when you do that

I remember when we
Swapped names and I thought maybe
You'd stay and try and out-drink me
Your friends all hated it

But fuck it if they talk
Fuck it if they try and get to us
'Cause I'd rather go blind
Than let you down

I cocoon
'Round your shoulders
When you're half-cut
And you're frozen
And you've got that visible breathing
You're depending on me again

I remember when we
Swapped names and I thought maybe
You'd stay and try and out-drink me
Your friends all hated it

But fuck it if they talk
Fuck it if they try and get to us
'Cause I'd rather go blind
Than let you down

But fuck it if they talk
Fuck it if they try and get to us
'Cause I'd rather go blind
Than let you down

And if you wanna shut down and pose as positive and
Hide smoking from relatives and
Rest on me
Honey, that's alright
And if you wanna act more drunk than usual
To help you get away with more then
Rest on me
Honey, that's alright
Honey, that's alright

I cocoon
'Round your shoulders
When you're half-cut
And you're half-cut

But fuck it if they talk
Fuck it if they try and get to us
'Cause I'd rather go blind
Than let you down

I remember when we
Swapped names and I thought maybe
You'd stay and try and out-drink me
Your friends all hated it

I think my ability to think is actually far more powerful than I realize. My greatest limiting factor has been my survival concerns. I think as I solve them I can do some very deep contemplation. My mind has been unlocking some interesting types of logic that is sprawling and integrative.

I really think that AI like ChatGPT should be used as a tool for self education. Using in combination with life long learning it becomes an invaluable resource for asking powerful questions, clarifying points made in books and documents, etc. 
 

For example, it can be used as a contemplation tool when building larger and more intricate mental models. Building mental models takes prolonged time and focus. Being able to ask questions to the AI allows for clarification, and a deeper synthesis as it can also act as a holding place for a mind which may drop or wander. It helps avoid tangents when you use orienting prompts when also including the questions that arise. 
 

This morning I am studying the liver meridian and asking questions about its relationship to Qigong techniques I have learned through Holden Qigong. I am looking to ever deepen my understanding of the energetic system. I want to master Qigong theoretically and experientially so I can create more powerful routines, workshops and courses.

I was thinking a lot today about what kind of dad I will be

My work day today was very hard but I enjoy free planting for the short term. I can make 300-500 a day. I also always wanted to be an endurance athlete and so I feel like it.
