"The nonoccurence of concurrence with low probability between events where there is a causal link."

- So, if A then B with a chance close to zero? A happened but B is not happening because the probability is low ...

"The nonoccurence of highly improbable concurrence between events where there is a causal link" ... same as above

"The nonoccurence of highly probable concurrence between events where there is a causal link" ... this one breaks probability.

- If A, then B with a chance close to or exactly 100% but B is not happening. ( it works on my machine and you have the same machine )

"The occurrence of highly probable concurrence between events where there is a causal link."

"The occurrence of highly probable concurrence between events where there is no causal link."

- The last two is just reality, since there either is a causal link or there isn't. (But) stuff is happening (anyways).

I'm wrong about concurrence being the inverse of coincidence, am I not? The only other thing that comes to mind would be scripted events. ( or destiny ... or black swans / self full-filling prophecies aka stuff that people work towards )

Well, Draghi et al are not the only reason(s) why Europe refused IT independence. It's simply how the Germans and German immigrants raised their children in the past 20+ years, so it's all a lot of talk for TV and the radio and to elevate the US even more so that talent moves to work for and/or in the US.

German leaders deliberately slowed innovation to make more money in the short-term ( oh wow, whaaaat? ) and capitalise on the data-hungry US economy whose people and last remaining noble characters have much less respect for privacy and security than their European counterparts.

All that is a great opportunity for journalists and buffs to investigate these European leaders cooperative networks, which are all tied tight in the US.

There is no room for Doomerism or hopeless talks. The path is clear and almost entirely disconnected from anything Europeans "have not" done or "have done" to end up in their position, which is also totally fine because there is no European or even German thinking or economic identity, not in the cities, not in villages [ exceptions exist of course ] and that's all because even educated voters have not realised who blinded them and how [ von der Leyen is just one boring example ] ...

30 years of making lots of money and despite great opportunity, this entire area hasn't changed one bit and the cognitive decline or rather lack of 'evolution' is brutal, which can be said about many places, of course, but it's almost shocking that it happened to the Germans.

So all in all, foreign money, lower supply chain quality, an even lower product quality, less privacy and security, lower educational levels in all generations and a cultural demise accelerated by The Rights deliberately misdirected focus ( kindly supported by the liberals and conservatives ) will open the continent up for all the ways that made America what it is now.

We are already seeing an increase in heavy drug use, more and more teens end up in psychiatric institutions and are fed meds that slow down their brains and organs. Hospitals are closing because no German with money cares about anything "German" or their "Heimat".

Meanwhile the US Military is increasing presence and infrastructure and we are all quite happy that they do. Something happened to the German population ( including immigrants ) and there's no reason to believe that the German or European rich will ever want to compete with the US anywhere. They compare themselves only to the bottom, only to whats below or behind them, it's funny.

They are perfectly fine winning against those with less opportunity/resources, even if that puts them far behind their actual competitors in terms of competence, business sense, strategy, and grandeur and beauty of their orbit/ sphere of control ( German: "Machtbereich" ).

So just spare peoples minds with nonsensical talk about

European hyperscaler for cloud computing or

Europe needs to give up trying to create a new Apple or Google and just focus on using the innovations generated by the IT revolution such as LLM's to just leapfrog into future industries and Green technologies.

Addendum: any productive, constructive people, especially 'good' ones who immigrate with bunches of bad and 'ugly' are worth the risk of increased negative social impact. The Social Body can handle it.

It's necessary to create counter-measures tho, because legal or illegal barely matters if it serves a big and influential enough interest-group, which nobody can be blamed for but if you don't get caught "nailing" some shady stuff to a wall, you're fine.

And it's never about 'then the next guy will take his place'. It's a cute bullshit narrative but not how balance and active balancing work.

But ... but, but ... Celestial alignment, the solar glare zone, opposition and conjunction events, galactic dust, nebulae, gravitational lensing, and various other dead angles, even from webb et al make the whole dark mattergy variable a bit too fantastical to calculate probabilities of life in the 'multi'verse, no?

Don't we 'use' dark matter to make observed patterns fit liminal explanations like when I blame multiple electronic devices of different age dying/breaking on the same day on solar flares?

Dog, get a dog. Then, train the two of you well & go outside and let the dog play cupid for friendships and neighbourly bonds. Other people share a lot of your hatred, anger, depression as well as the deliberate positivity, compartmentalisation and even hypocrisy that we use to cope with all the fun we don't and do have in life. But you have to be direct and radically honest. You can't be fooled, anyway, you read those books. And what do you have to lose?

You just can't release your creation into the wild aka 'don't get caught'.

Worked at a "customer support" once and got peculiar about the strange audio interface they used. Turns out they recorded every support agent while all incoming calls were fake and the callers mood and words aimed at evoking emotional responses from the support agents.

Germany, all big telcos involved and even a huge advertiser. Big teeth, strong bite. Years prior a big shot lawyer tried to get them for something else. Had hard evidence (proof). He settled of course, which was a bit off-character for that guy but if you kept digging, you'd find the classic scheme with big financial institutions and even intelligence agencies involved.

They needed a good cause, of course, so rehabilitation & reintegration of youthful offenders as well as ADHD types in therapy (yes, such institutions were directly involved as well) and other 'not yet lost causes' were 'hired' and got paid quite well to get them hooked on monetary reward mechanisms for upselling while 'helping people who are seeking support', so one would naturally be inclined to say that it wasn't bad at all but the opposite, actually; and I would absolutely agree if I didn't think that the vision and leadership of high status people over an obedient FUBU mob through the coming hard times wasn't complete trash.

Especially while these soooo complex relationships in the middle east and in the 'defected' viking gene pools are creating "strong people" in the hard times and conditions in war zones who then emigrate to do anything at all cost in the countries they arrive in, feeding Mafia and gangs, lowering supply chain and product quality (aided by governments), increasing exposure to drugs and lowest-end-behaviours and language (think music, film, club culture) and on and on the list goes on ...

But hey, 'the candy man' was/is a thing, too. Natural selection, I guess, hahahaha.

Ropes, bars, climbing walls. You can make it perfectly safe and tiny humans are incredibly sturdy.

Joints, ankles, tendons, muscles will get strong & flexible.

Balance, falling, control are only three of the many passive & active skills that will grow.

They are the foundation for all kinds of higher lvl human stuff.

We all know how important physical health & full body flexibility, mobility & endurance are. Let the kids start early and organically.

Abstract

In experiment I: anoestral bitches were applied synthetic (n=6) or natural (n=6) pheromones and their attractiveness was compared to the attractiveness of bitches in natural oestrus, In experiment II: swabs socked in natural estrual discharge or Eau D’Estrus were presented to male dogs and behav- ioral arousal (Exp. II a) and changes in blood flow in the penile artery reflecting erection (Exp. II b) were recorded. In experiment III the time dedicated for sniffing in experimental dogs was analyzed in relation to the type of attractant presented (natural estrual discharge or Eau D’Estrus). In all three experiments we observed the signs of sexual arousal, increased blood flow in the penile artery and increased time of sniffing only with natural pheromones. No signs of excitation or changes in penis perfusion were noted after the use of artificial pheromones. Our results did not support the suitability of Eau D’Estrus for male dog sexual stimulation.

Key words: bitch, oestrus, sex pheromones, sexual behavior, color Doppler

Wonderful topic! Reframing or reinterpretation over time. And then data science origins together and track the path into mainstream culture and the effects the reinterpretation had on language in old/new context and how it normalised/polarised certain concepts, topics, perspectives, ideologies and so on ... with a sub-focus on teens and their social media use or the cool, alternative, avant-garde kids in art and music.

Has any compared national/international media outlets?

Is there an automated LLM comparing word usage, phrasing, maybe even cultural/class-driven subtext in context of time/events in print/TV or a project comparing national/international news outlets that target specific population segments/demographics?

One could analyse the same in advertisement/social media/even 'Hollywood' and data science all of that stuff together. Create a chain or rather 'graph of thought'. See what the ministry of truth has been up to in recent decades ... I'm joking, of course, it's a complex world and people cooperate so what the hell, but it would be interesting nevertheless.

Sadly, I can't even scrape websites that have a robots.txt.

I remember reading a book about above topic a decade ago where multiple authors did something like that to analyse cooptation in media (German: "Gleichschaltung").

Pseudo-profound ramblings of a drunk. Fun, but pls don't spread the 'advice'. The subtext is a nudge in the wrong direction for some kids in some vulnerable states of mind and literally pointless for anyone who is not.

There is some probability that a random star has intelligent life on orbiting planets, but we have no idea what that probability is.

100%. The evolutionary pattern of our solar systems formation and earth ending up, temporarily, in just the right spot isn't rare but (was) a matter of time/timing.

Now one could argue that the stellar objects carrying specific components necessary for life did not hit every or many solar systems but every single simulation (in my head) of the big bang's aftermath reveals that it's at least multiple hundreds of thousands, given how much the observable universe has revealed so far in the places that we looked.

i might be wrong but corporations/institutions never sponsor R&D in all directions so framing/phrasing is vital. but, from a philosophical pov, I agree with you.

sounding pretty sympathetic to kowtowing

It didn't. I was born into and grew up in a spot 'betwixt and between', with much of what I need to become successful, rich & powerful but at the same feeling so damn disgusted by the ways of the people I'd have to deal with that I would rather not support them at all. That nonsense got amplified by leftist bullshit, trusting people I shouldn't have.

Then I got diagnosed with ADHD and a proper analysis of my psyche and my life revealed that my only issue was to get 'friends' when I should have stayed at home hacking away at stuff. They were earlier more aware/conscious and I let myself get dragged to parties, liquor and mild drugs but that Rausch was enough for my hyperactive imagination to lose any sense for accomplishment and the concrete things I could actually do to get into the right positions to make change happen and shape my environment to my (obviously better) tastes.

So every time I read "support your gov.", my brain goes 'grrrr' and triggers an avalanche of emotions and rationalisations that end in "it's all super-gay Mafia hierarchies and there's nothing you can do because all of 'dem gays' are too fragile to withstand the pressure of being an actual man". ( I'm not homophobic, back in the day it meant nothing but submissive, ass licking, it was metaphorical )

So my previous post is meant to encourage myself and others to not get pulled into these hierarchies as obedient participants and beneficiaries but as competitors, breaking, hacking and fixing all the weak spots in these hierarchies and systems.

Young people don't care and the kids from my year turned into people I definitely won't raise my kids with. And it's all because of pseudo-antifragility that comes with kowtowing like a soldier.

Yep. Not being supportive of the power structure you inhabit is what killed humanities natural Red Team which is why capitalism developed so slow and consumer culture turned into whatever it is now.

The new Red Team is just a sparring partner now, accomplice to any crime and lie and money laundering scheme, hacking away at their passions, in the peaceful bliss of compartmentalisation.

Which is fine. A pseudo behavioural lock-in is still a lock-in. The people decided. False numbers on available resources, false reports on foreign affairs, supporting brutally corrupt countries to destabilise regions where humans still have the innate ability to arrive at better ways to do things and build a culture that is actually worth millions of years of survival, and the list goes on and on.

But you have to simulate whats possible to prepare for the worst, and the inner circles are way ahead so whenever the public gets some pieces of info, know that any criticism lags behind.

Which is why it's so important to hack away at your institutions, corporations and individuals in relevant networks. Their systems and jobs have to get harder, faster, stronger, smarter and that requires radical criticism so that

a) the job description only fits the best, and

b) the job environment doesn't disgust the best.

Neither of which is currently true.

But people are fighting good causes and if you can 're-compartmentalise' for a bit, throw in some brain and gpu power to go against your benefactors. For the sake of the betterment of their successors.

Nope, the deliberate parent is the best parent.

"Good enough" as a term contains subtext that nudges some readers towards less effort, less striving, less personal growth for the sake of the 'new' and growing responsibility.

But inhibiting advice seeking parents and teachers to reduce 'systemic competition' is a thing and some people write books about it.

Mostly because they didn't live up to their values in the past at all. Underperforming despite plenty of opportunity and lacking integrity is just too much. Blaming it on an opposition is weak and translates into lack of power, lack of strategy, and lack of volition.

Republicans had it way too easy, actually. It's the same with The Right in Germany. They are being auto-promoted by actors like von der Leyen, who blind specific population segments like moms and women who are trying to make it while negatively impacting any orbit they are assigned to and shoving tons of money to consultancies and the likes.

So we will be able to increase the number of receptors for dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin, 'adrenalin'? And hook them up to different metabolisms by implanting them at different sites in body and brain? That's crazy! Those experiments will be wild.

And in order to take designer drugs you'll need designer receptors, first. Classic.

Madness. But also comforting since other planets might require exactly and no more than that.

it's not bullying. it's a way to cope and a way to help the weirdo find his base by not having to defend who or what he is. it's a welcoming gift. accept them as they come. think you are the only weird one or "idiot" around? think you are better? you have a usp, make it work. turn it into a show. distract us from our boring reality. give us that serotonin/dopamine spike that fades out slow. we are all muscle memory here. we need something to keep us from the edge. we are aware of how all these computer people and academics run the world and we know its a matter of character and that there are better ways. We are aware that most of them made a conscious decision. But we sure as fuck aren't going to kill them all for it.

it's also a way to adjust you to the lower end of the superego spectrum.
