Hyper self awareness vs virtuosity


Posts: 926

Is hyper self awareness mutually exclusive with virtuosity?

I've been hyper focused and hyper self aware of what I'm doing, ever since I was a little kid, much more so than anyone else in the world.

I've been wondering if me being hyper self aware means I'm a terrible person. I can be entirely objective and place myself out of a situation in a way that I observe others can't. When I'm kind, I'm hyper aware of it. I feel like there's nothing genuine about it, it's not a visceral reaction for me at all, I've never had a visceral reaction to anything, save for panic when my life is threatened. 

Do you think you need a visceral reaction to suffering in order for your help to be considered genuine? 

Or, in other words, if you do things because you're playing a character do you think that you can absorb the virtuous parts of your character into your self essence?

 On my screen, that line I highlight there. Fits the golden ratio.  

The bottom of the quote, to that sentence I highlighted, to the top of the quote. 1.618 ! Wow !

That same line also has function. Not just the line, but what the sentence means !

Not gonna boast about my hyper awareness. Much. But I'm drawn to responding to that one sentence, the rest of the post kinda contradicts..... Function. Like the Golden radio. 

Question is, how come you're not hyper self aware about you're principals being any good and seeking external validation from...well what do you got here. Nate.... Dragoon.....What ? Delora.... Guy you said you were the smartest one here.

It's not the golden ratio. You're trying to see patterns where theres none.

Are you trying to mimic what it looks like when you have trouble focusing? I do that too.
 
 
Guy you said you were the smartest one here.

I mean, I factually am.

 Umm... I think he's saying that if you were as smart as you think you are, you would not be seeking validation from people he considers to be inferior.

I don't agree that they're inferior, or that their opinions are worth less. I'm just reading the context for you. I also don't agree that asking somebody's opinion on matters of EQ reflects badly on their IQ scores.

You're on the spectrum?

My opinion on the OP question: No. Hyper self awareness does not make a person virtuous.

My memory of that particular philosophy class is rusty af.

Are we discussing virtuosity in the Kantian sense? Aristotelean? Some old monk whose name I've totally forgotten?

But now that I think of it, doing good things by accident or from a place of performing "normalcy" is not necessarily bad. Bullshitting is only harmful when it's performed with a harmful agenda. Like buttering somebody up so you can rob them or whatever.

 "Fake it till you make it" is ok.

I'm more of a consequentialist, anyway. To label somebody "virtuous" or "evil" or whatever just smacks of religious absolutism, imo. Behaviour is all situational and adaptive, amirite?

As usual you make conclusions while thinking you're right while running around saying you're the smartest.

There you go, done in Photoshop and I even made the rectangle a yellowish colour so it can stand out more.
 
To be clear, we're looking at the top line, bottom line, and the line in between them that's hitting your sentence.  1.618
 
Now you're going to think "How ? He must have put it there first" The answer is no. I can literally see it without any measuring tools.

That's it....

Gemini, When people answer a question with a question.

"Answering a question with a question is a versatile communication tactic used for clarification, stalling for time, or changing the subject. Depending on the intent, it can be a helpful way to spark deeper thought, or an aggravating method used to dodge accountability and deflect attention."

.

That sounds about right. It's a form of dismissiveness today.

Using the LLM was the best thing today considering how you have this inability to remove your head from the clouds when things are pointed out to you. And yes I'm the only one showing you anything in regard to your questions.

I see. How odd.
 
I'm not seeking validation from TC, Dragoon, or Delora, or consider them inferior.

It doesn't indeed. Relevant context here is that Spatial has been following me around telling me I'm not smart ever since I said I'm smarter than him like 8 months ago and everyone agreed.
 
You're on the spectrum?

No, though I have great admiration for those who are, such as Einstein, Newton, Da Vinci. I sometimes wish I was autistic so I could dedicate my life fully to something esoteric and singular.

In the modern sense. If you had to go by your gut feeling, would you call a someone who is hyper self aware virtuous if he does kind things while being hyper self aware of them? Or does the need to act kind have to be visceral?

It's more a question regarding whether being hyper self aware makes you not virtuous.

 

But now that I think of it, doing good things by accident or from a place of performing "normalcy" is not necessarily bad. Bullshitting is only harmful when it's performed with a harmful agenda. Like buttering somebody up so you can rob them or whatever.

Behavior is all situational and adaptive.

If you're a consequentalist, would you label a person virtuous as opposed to labeling acts evil/virtuous? E.g., is Ted Bundy evil or were only his actions evil?

Ted Bundy was evil because he wanted to hurt people, no? It would be irrelevant if he had a chance to act on it.

Therefore, a person is virtuous if he wants to help people but can't, and is not virtuous if he does not want to help people, but do.
