For the past 153 days, I've worked tirelessly on constructing a peace plan for the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict based on my contextual knowledge of the conflict. This is what I've been able to come up with. It's amateur and idealistic in many respects, but it's also the best plan I have seen to date.

The Israeli’s are using recommender systems to help choose the targets to strike. This is one of the most consequential, and dangerous developments in Artificial Intelligence yet.

I have a copy of this sitting in my parents basement along with a bunch of automata theory books I’ll probably never have the time to read

I had a incredibly stressful college experience where I suffered severe sleep deprivation on the regular due to undiagnosed ADHD. I worry that I have permanent brain damage from the experience.

Thanks, I appreciate this. I’m not in the best state atm, and my writing isn’t that great so I just impulse deleted my post.

Allen Newell is my spiritual PhD advisor :). I was able to get a copy of both Volumes of the Soar papers. I really hope to be able to emulate him someday.

Granted that measure is normalized, and my anecdotal evidence does match the feeling of being several standard deviations from the average person.

Maybe my gripe with IQ is that as a theory, I find it intellectually unsatisfactory. I can accept that being good at solving the puzzles they gave me in tag class correlates with positive life experiences.

These tests are probably measuring something. But I don’t see how anyone with a high IQ can take IQ test seriously.

I’ve been studying the writings of early artificial intelligence pioneers (Minsky, Simon, Newell, Von Neumann, etc) and to think that we can assign an integer measure to the most complex information processing systems in existence seems like one step above pseudoscience.
