ポイズン雷花の哲学その一|ポイズン雷花

「"揉めるくらいならモミモミし合いな"」 揉め事に成りそうなら緊張を和らいだり、場の空気を落ち着かせたりする様務める事。 感情的に成らず、穏便に済ませる様務める事。 <> Poison_Raika's Philosophy Part 1 ('If you're going to rub each other, don't rub each other.') If there is going to be a conflict, try to ease the tension and calm the atmosphere of the place. Try not

The so-called #audiophile community is famous for the amount of #woo that passes for knowledge or expertise.

When you look at the DIY audio community - building things up from #electronic components or modules - you add in the cargo-cult processes used by people with no basic electronics knowledge building these things, and the false-but-confident beliefs of those with some knowledge but more assurance of their own intelligence 🙄 - and you get some real doozies in discussion threads [1] on audio/electronics fora.

I just came across one that will stick with me:

A: I saw some people are doing <X> to increase the bass from this little amp. Should I do it?

B (actually knowledgeable): Depends on the design. If it's lacking <Y>, it can help the subjective bass response of the amp.

C (overly confident): BS! OBJECTIVELY (!) you get more and better boom.
Boom-boom, you know? Your guts will tell you the objective truth.

... that is LITERALLY the definition of "subjective". 🤣

[1] A.K.A. arguments on the instalment plan.

#GarryKasparov is so fucking right !
#Selenskyi keeps himself under #Control while #Trump is talking one more #Bullshit-#Argument after the other. He wants to believe in a positive #Outcome of the #Negotiations and so he spreads positive #Lies. It's his way to #deal with #Reality - his own Reality.

What’s the most dramatic exit you’ve made from anything, ever? I don’t want to call it dramatic, because it wasn’t. It was strategic. I got into an argument with one of my supervisors once and in that moment my brain queued up about twelve things I absolutely wanted to say and every single one

A quotation from Abraham Lincoln

The advice of a father to his son “Beware of entrance to a quarrel, but being in, bear it that the opposed may beware of thee,” is good, and yet not the best. Quarrel not at all. No man resolved to make the most of himself can spare time for personal contention. Still less can he afford to take all the consequences, including the vitiating of his temper and loss of self control. Yield larger things to which you can show no more than equal right; and yield lesser ones, though clearly your own. Better give your path to a dog than be bitten by him in contesting for the right. Even killing the dog would not cure the bite.

Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) American lawyer, politician, US President (1861-65)
Letter (1863-10-26) to J. M. Cutts

Cool Was Never an Option

What’s a moment when you realized you had aged out of caring about being “cool”? I never had a moment where I realized I wasn’t cool anymore. That implies I was cool at some point, and we’re not going to lie to each other like that. I’ve spent my entire life outside whatever room “cool” […]

Fifteen studies of thousands of people from four countries found that more politically conservative individuals rated slippery-slope arguments as being more logical than did politically liberal individuals.

Conservatives are more prone to slippery slope thinking

A new study links conservatism to a greater acceptance of slippery slope reasoning. The evidence suggests this association relies on intuitive thinking and predicts support for harsher criminal sentencing.
