Not good ones.
If anything a way to counter the dunning kruger effect is to grab two people who're rational and ask them to evaluate each other/ judge each other constantly, even make decisions for each other
What gauges their rationality in this case though, our own?
Turncoat said:Your pride sounds like it's the source of your unhappiness.you assume i am unhappy, because you project how you would feel if you were me, with your own cognitive bias
From my own understanding of people and myself, you don't give me the impression of happiness, nor one of comfort. You're doing some sort of "work on yourself" shtick right now over how your former form didn't do enough for you, and from a lack of self-identity I'm not sure if you'd even know how you feel beyond the construct.
Your model is that you flood your head with motivational words and about how the world bends towards your will, that if you fail you simply did not will hard enough. From how you said you don't even have to believe in it to say it, that makes it sound like autohypnosis or some shit.
Turncoat said:Why is compromise so bad? It's the byproduct of adaptation during a clash.if you need to adapt is cause you can't dominate
Strongly disagree, the weakest doms are the ones who can't adapt to their sub.
You ever see the ones that try to foist contrasts? Weak Doms are the funniest people. I'm more impressed by one who's learned how to push another through their buttons, but then again that tends to come with Sadists.
Turncoat said:To rush towards compromise is a Fallacy of Gray; The insistence that the middle-ground must be right, but to be unwilling to compromise at all is simply stubborn. Life itself forces one to compromise, to adapt, or be crushed by the weight of those who will. It is from compromise that societies are built in the first place, even down to having running water and electricity and stuff.middle ground is an illusion
So we agree?
machiavelli already debunked the "neutrality" cope in some of his work, read it
So have logical fallacies and a bunch of other things, but there is still value in the willingness for it as long as it's not always assumed to be the better way.
Turncoat said:What's wrong with flexibility though?i never said "wrong or right" in any of my statements or responses, you did
It seems like the implication towards the value of hard, binary planning is in a lot of these posts.
Turncoat said:Have you ever tried a kill them with kindness strategy?i don't have any kindness to give to insects, i keep that for things that matter
So not even as a strategy?
Have you ever thought of having Mr. Rogers or Bob Ross as your effigy? It might fuck with some people.
Turncoat said:Is it that it's easier to see us as larpers and trolls?"trust issue" that sounds personal, trust about what? who? or "easier to see us as blah blah"
Believe me, speaking as a paranoid subtype of schizoaffective, it's more than possible to have trust issues over strangers, easier even.
sounds like you don't like how i just grab everyone and put them into a very very low tier model
2 people online have done so far out of 500.000 or so... good luck, and words can't do it, i need to see actions and lack of fronting
Online, actions and words are practically the same. I'd argue as much over IRL as well, as their words still grant the room to gauge for hypocrisies and the like.
Turncoat said:Doesn't this mean you desire to live up to a model? Sounds like a desire to conform mixed with an inability to trust others' templates.i live up to elitistic models, others live up to their personal models, hence my models are superior
So you admit to conforming to another's idea of perfection, aka 'The Elite'?
I say fuck being elite, such actions are masturbatory. I'd rather be real without having to bludgeon myself enough times to become someone else through symbols and effigies.
Turncoat said:Impossible, everyone telegraphs. There's training to reduce the amount of steps you have in a move but there will always be something that gives it away. It's a matter of body language, you have to move to strike and there's going time between the move and the hit, which is why it pays to be tricky and deceptive rather than just bludgeoning the dude.
This is why it's useful to learn feints, and to otherwise try to make multiple moves look like they have the same telegraph.it's impossible for combinations, by telegraph i mean no movement that indicates that you will attack with a specific body part, in theory however every movement can be considered a telegraph
The first hit is very important, they can't combo if they can't connect. All of anyone's combo training's crap if they can just sidestep or parry the beginning of it, and even once in it there's plenty of ways to roll through the move to minimize the hurt.
that's not what i mean, i mean lack of the shitty-type of telegraphs, like people waving their fist before punching etc
Those can make very clever feints, especially if you dupe the enemy into thinking you're predictable.
To quote the Jade Warlord from Forbidden Kingdom when fighting his greatest enemy: "Martial art is based on deception, my friend."
Turncoat said:I don't see how any sense of justice could be objective beyond the argument of sociological tenants.you lost every opportunity to do so when you attempted to connect objective justice to social standards/ social structures/ human opinions
It's the closest we have to anything objective, as we can see the patterns appearing time and time again across our species even in other countries. Past a point as broad as that it's all subjective.
