"Honestly, it's a slough, but if you could take the time to read over https://dhappy.org/tip/paper/William%20Perry/Cognitive%20and%20Ethical%20Growth:%20The%20Making%20of%20Meaning/ and at least look at the charts and stages, it might give you the beginnings of a toolset for examining your own thinking, and honing it into a more realistic interpretation of reality."

"That is where ~80% of the population stops. Kohlberg devised a series of moral quandries through which he could determine an individual's likely level from their responses to questions. "He found that most people are Conventional and largely rely on 'social proof' — the general social consensus — to determine truth. "It is in the progression out of conventionality that one lands on positions such as yours where, because there are a variety of viewpoints and no definitive answer as to which are the most true, everyone's opinions carry the same weight. "The step beyond convention is 'Social Contract' where the thinker begins to piece together coherent moral narratives that govern how they behave toward others. "Finally, one can arrive at 'Universal Moral Principles' where every action is an expression of philosophical belief. Not many people live like this. 😼"

"Sorry, there are more advanced modes of thought than the one you're currently at. "I'd recommend checking out the moral development theorist, Lawrence Kohlberg. "He writes about how, through the lifetime, individuals seem to go through a common set of up to six stages of development. "They're broken up into three plateaus: preconventional, conventional, & postconventional. Where you're at is conventionality where truth is determined through social consensus. "The scale starts out preconventional. A small child who does things to avoid punishment. From there it progresses to choosing actions to win rewards. "They're inherently more self-centered because you're thinking primarily in terms of how it will affect yourself. "The next major progression is discovering the desire to be seen as a good and worthwhile person to others. From there, they progress to "Law & Order" where they value the wider rules and structures of society. 2/?

I'm in a Facebook group chat associated with the channel "Believe In Reality". They said, "Nothing wrong with having your personal beliefs. Beliefs are a natural right and freedom." I responded, "I reject your relativistic viewpoint that beliefs are a freedom. "If you're an actual scientist, your beliefs are dictated by reality. "There is a certain amount of wiggle room in the truth of the evidence of how reality is, but certain truths are inalienable: * "Trump is a liar. * "Climate change is happening. * "Crypto & Web3 are going to disrupt some stuff. * "¡WAGMI!: (¡𝘞𝘦 𝘈𝘳𝘦 𝘎𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘔𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘐𝘵!) * "Yahweh doesn't exist." They responded, "You would have to define what you mean by 'reality'. … Yahweh not existing, is an example of a personal belief by you." To which I gave a dissertation on Kohlberg's Stages of Moral Development & why I believe my viewpoint is structurally superior to theirs. 1/?

Today I learned that there's a `--user` flag to `systemd` & you can have services of your very own. Also, you can create timers for those services, so they'll kick off on regular intervals. I've got my GPG keys & other sundrys on an encrypted partition & Claude.ai wrote me a script that, every 20 minutes, checks if anything's open on the drive &, if not, unmounts it.

Today I learned about `WebTransport` which is a cousin to `WebSocket`s, but operating over QUIC, which is a UDP-based protocol that is the basis of HTTP/3. It works P2P unlike `WebSocket`s which require a server. Also, you can open multiple streams on the same connection. It's currently in Chrome & Firefox, & you can use it to talk to the IPFS daemon Kubo.

I base 64 number is written in "sexagesimal-quaternary", or is "sexagesimal-quaternarial". To get a sexagesimal-quaternary, you convert to binary & take groups of six bits because 2⁶ = 64. My soon to be age is `0d46` = `0b101110` = `0su`, or `0sLg==` if you're a computer.

Apparently this has been out for a while, but I'm just seeing it. This is a screencap from "NeuroSpot Baristaeye Staff Control and Customer Monitoring Video Analytics Module" which tracks how long each customer has been in the store & how many drinks each server has made. Technologies like these could rapidly make the future either Draconian of idyllic as the ability of individuals to control ever larger numbers of others increases. https://youtu.be/GZ_Td0uUn7E

In our ongoing Stable Diffusion vs Midjourney comparison, today's @mochi #TrainToLearn prompt had lots of qualifiers: "masterpiece, best quality, hires, beautiful and detailed, chimera emerging from its lair, extremely detailed, sharp, in focus".

My @mochi #TrainToLearn my task was “a company logo morphing as its valuation fluctuates”. I started with a logo and the prompt “Ford logo warped into waves with sparking electrical lines leading into it”. Neither did the wires, so I tried inpainting with the prompt “electrical lines spewing blue sparks”.

Today's StableDiffusion versus Midjourney comparison uses an image as the basis. I was supposed to generate “a high-tech virtual gaming arena”, so I gave it a Colosseum image and the prompt “as an electric cyberpunk battleground”. SD pretty much ignored the image…
