Makes sense. Its kind of hard to see the same things happen over and over and over and not apply similar conclusions when we see it happening the next time.
Plus if you are math inclined you go with the odds. Yes it will lead to false conclusions at times and if the topic is important enough you can look at it more closely BUT
Most of the time we are just going to be more right than wrong, yet I do keep in mind that if I see the opposite side being promoted from sources/people that I trust then those are the BEST times to look at it more closely.

That's what I have, a finely tuned BS meter. It took a lifetime to get it to where it is and it is sometimes a bit slow but, it is accurate, in the end.
Yeah to keep you blind and easily manipulated and constantly butt hurt
like most black democrats and most democrats.
Communists love to put humans in stereotypical groups.
It makes it easier to divide nations that way.
Heh. I have learned to mostly never mention that I test high because "it doesn't mean anything, IQ tests are bunk anyway", "it's bragging, you should not brag", "It doesn't make you wise" (well that one is certainly true), "high IQ people are maladjusted nerds with no practical skills" etc etc etc. So now I can add "high IQ people stereotype and are racistssss" to all that.
Would actually be nice to know how many people here have gotten tested, and did test high. The test I had was just the Mensa one, pictorial, tests for pattern recognition, and I don't do nearly as well in written tests, but that one did put me into the highest 98,778 percentile. As far as I have been able to see high IQ is mostly similar to any other talent, you'd need to learn how to use it or it isn't all that useful for most things, but at least I can solve certain types of puzzles pretty fast (and Ikea instructions are not a problem...). But since schools at least here do not pay much attention to things like high IQ that does lead to a definite waste of resources because kids with it would need to pushed harder and get some extra attention, especially when it comes to learning work habits, or they are likely to fail. I did. School was way too easy for me, I could get good average results without doing pretty much anything for them, but when I got to university the harder work - and my problems with depression, my mother was dying - meant that I started to fail, and learning good working habits that late in your life does take time, I dropped out before I managed to get there. I was in STEM though, I presume if I had picked something like media studies I could have gotten my degree with flying colors... And possibly gotten brainwashed during that time. So I guess I'm happy I did pick a STEM subject after all.
I tested 135 and my wife 136. Not quite genius but fairly bright - or so you would think. But my beloved wife took three covid shots, a flu shot and a shingles. No, she has no adverse symptoms apart from chronic stupidity.
As said, it's a talent. But just having a talent doesn't mean much unless you learn how to use it. And these days learning how to think logically isn't really taught anywhere. Or at least it's not taught in schools, although you have to learn some with STEM subjects you are not taught how to apply it to thinking in general.
The more experience you have of life, the more you learn to distrust stereotypes as a basis for making decisions. The only thing that counts is the real person, not the stereotype. (Stereotypes may be useful in describing mass behavior.)
All that the article is saying is that if you are sensitized to pattern detection, you are vulnerable to pareidolia, the illusory perception of patterns in random phenomena (e.g., a Rorschach blot, or a cloud). Or, in other words, mistaking noise for signal. This is not something to wear as pride.
Thin-slicing is a term used in psychology and philosophy to describe the ability to find patterns in events based only on "thin slices", or narrow windows, of experience. The term refers to the process of making very quick inferences about the state, characteristics or details of an individual or situation with minimal amounts of information. Research has found that brief judgments based on thin-slicing are similar to those judgments based on much more information. Judgments based on thin-slicing can be as accurate, or even more so, than judgments based on much more information.
This makes perfect sense. This is why people who are autistic can point out a bad apple in the bunch immediately. By that, I mean people in general. I could meet somebody for the first time and know right away if theyβre evil, or if thereβs something off about them like there are some type of narcissist or something. Coolβ¦ Thin slicing. Thanks for sharing this.
YW and I agree wholeheartedly!
Funny how this is exactly what I've done my entire life; once I have enough "slices" to make an opinion or judgement, I move to the next. I've never felt I needed to know everything about an issue to have a sound opinion.
Nice to know there's a term for it!
Next week...
And noticing is "antisemitic"

Israel donβt take βasylum seekersβ
1 gristly, plotting banker was unhappy with your noticing ππβοΈ
Kek!!
Pattern recognition/stereotyping is a built in (God given) survival tool.
If you get attacked by every brown dog or purple haired person you come across then you learn to avoid them.
Imo, itβs societal manipulation/engineering that says βur badβ if those instincts are used.
Once bitten twice shy.
yeah we celebrate the TV FBI profilers who use profiling to catch bad guys
YET at the same time demonize regular people who use the same skills to avoid bad people/situations
Well I'm in then
Me too πππ

Well, duh.
Itβs called a probability assessment.

Or their BS meter works very well.

Patterns can be faked. It takes more than mere pattern recognition.
Autism enters the chat π
Stereotypes exist for a reason.
Yeah to keep you blind and easily manipulated and constantly butt hurt like most black democrats and most democrats. Communists love to put humans in stereotypical groups. It makes it easier to divide nations that way.
Well erm yep ππ»
Smart people to me are the people that have the ability to adapt the fastest.
If someone has a stereotype but cannot adapt out of it.
They are not smart at all. They are fools.
Sooo higher iq? lol
Heh. I have learned to mostly never mention that I test high because "it doesn't mean anything, IQ tests are bunk anyway", "it's bragging, you should not brag", "It doesn't make you wise" (well that one is certainly true), "high IQ people are maladjusted nerds with no practical skills" etc etc etc. So now I can add "high IQ people stereotype and are racistssss" to all that.

Count me in. I do everything opposite of normal people.
everything?
