Erik Johnsondistractal@hachyderm.ioOct 29, 2026, 4:28 PM@gwynnion I've kind of retuned my own internalization of intelligence as requiring affinity, expertise AND empathy, with empathy usually being the most heavily weighted factor.

Al Pastormorgan@sfba.socialOct 29, 2026, 6:07 PM@gwynnion we're instinctive primates with language and technology. We believe we're thinking, while most of what we say or do is based on a catalog (model) we've inherited. Hubris.
None of those ideas are my own, either. I'm parroting Kahneman, Tversky and Harari. And maybe also Kubrick and Le Guin.
