Into the mind's horizon 3
Ideas that I think are important, yet not common.
Disclaimer: These are very crude thoughts, posted here in case something were to happen to me. Maybe someday I'll clean them up. Suggestions are welcome.
los 3 mayores problemas de interne según su creador: Las intenciones deliberadas y maliciosas, como el pirateo y los ataques informáticos apoyados por los Estados, la conducta delictiva y el acoso en Internet.
El diseño de un sistema que crea incentivos perversos en los que se sacrifica al usuario, como los modelos de ingresos basados en la publicidad que recompensan comercialmente el cibercebo y la difusión viral de la desinformación.
Las consecuencias negativas involuntarias del diseño benevolente, como el tono enfurecido y polarizado y la calidad de las conversaciones en Internet.
Determining that good and bad are subjective and that nothing can be done to determine what is better than something else, is admitting yourself unintelligent/un capable of contributing in even a small degree to solving the problem. Don’t do it. You are capable of helping solve the problem of determining what is good and what is bad, even in a small degree.
How does a (healthy psychological state of two people who hold intimate relationships but that are commonly disapproved by society) look like?
A more direct way of defining intelligence could be to say that intelligence is the capacity to have more and stronger connections between concepts so that they more quickly serve a given purpose in a given situation
Men and women are by default better suited for different things and naturally tasked with some tasks. So instead of stressing about one not doing something, play to your strengths and sinergize with the other.
A cheap display (LEDs?) that lets users play digital soccer (pong?) while standing in commute (use simple hit and hurt boxes?) for entertainment and socializing
thinking that you are allowed to do x thing because you have good intentions is not reason enough to decide to do x thing and then do nothing else (for example liberals might think like this). things have to be analyzed carefully to mitigate unthought damages. on the other hand, thinking too much can stall progress. solution: test x thing in low-risk settings, and repeat: test, feedback, improve, scale, test, fb, improve, scale, etc..
Streetpass but with personal information. You say what you want about yourself. Others can decide to contact or not. You may say false things but that should naturally be an indicator to people that you cannot be trusted. So people should carefully and safely explore whether they are true before connecting further. Can be restricted to safe environments like universities or can be open on the street.
A different way of testing knowledge wherein for a given topic, many options of problems to solve are presented. One of them has every concept that needs to be tested, so that if a learner solves it, he will get full marks for that topic. The other options have less concepts so learners get less marks if done correctly. In designing this, consider how to allow for some flexibilities
How about having a naturally occurring “socialism”. You see, society is tending towards more entrepreneurship, because technology automated tasks, which forces you to have your own company, which would make people earn more equally.
instead of saying how stupid a certain group is (for example flat-earthers), help them understand these complex concepts. if everyone complaining about other's stupidity made an effort to figure out how to make them understand (in any area) we'd be closer to what we want
Some things about the current way education works should be changed. others probably are good enough. like grades for example. in principle, telling you how well you know something should make you try to get better at it. what needs to be removed is the stress and perceived consequences of having bad grades. that doesnt allow anyone to perform well. teachers should help reduce it. the point of education is learning, not getting a gpa.
How to reduce the time that it takes to make a learning sciences research or how to reduce the scope of the research while still making it valuable
For every election in every place, an easily shareable document/media (like an image that inside has a grid presenting the proposals of every candidate in every category) should carefully be made by politically informed and neutral people so that the cost of analyzing proposals is reduced for the public. People would probably share this massively in social media and similarly reaching channels. It should be made carefully and with lots of references to the original sources (because condensing information may distort it). And it should be edited frequently in the moments following its publication, as valid and objective feedback rolls in. Also, ideas presented should say a bit more about how the candidate thinks that he will make it real i.e. saying "X will be free" isn't intelligent enough. This document should that this candidate is planning to pay for X with Y, for example.
instead of saying "lets take x percent of money from people every year and somehow make it work" isnt it more intelligent to say "lets calculate how much we need to solve the things we care about, and them ask everyone a proportional part of their help to help solve them". of course, determining what "we should care about" is hard, but by slowing population growth a bit and taking time to calculate well and educate people well, we might get closer to the answer
Try to make a debating game. Try to simplify an argument and reward those who notice the fault in an argument. Make it competitive (versus)
How to make learning faster? We know how signals are transmitted in the brain. How the fact that some connections are stronger makes them be more probable to be fired when the neuron they start at is fired. For example, when a kid sees something, a few variables are firing: objectExists, objectPosition, objectColor. If hidden behind a blanket, probably ObjectExist would stop firing because he has no experience to tell him that blanket does no make object stop existing. In other words, the connection from objectExists to objectStillExists is not very strong. It is by hiding and showing again, a lot of times, that this connection gets stronger. If what I understand is correct, and the brain kinda randomly creates connections but it is experiences that solidify them, then to make this process faster one could either: find exactly where those connections are and put melatonin in them. Or figure what overall signal does the desired though create and promote that signal with electric ...
...Stimulation. Another way may be to look at adults brains of healthy people and notice that some areas are strongly connected in a specific way or base signals are always present, so maybe we should promote that way in youngsters. This sounds like creating the same person again, which could be dangerous, so efforts should be made to filter out just the most basic patterns that would constitute an improvement from the normal way to develop. Heavy math and statistics should help.
The brain’s developmental process mimics evolution. Crazy ways to connect the brain happen almost randomly but the daily experiences strengthen or diminish these random connections. Now that I think of it, maybe that’s the reason sleep is so important. I notice I am most creative when I am about to fall asleep. Maybe sleep promotes the creation of these random connections. Since the judgements part of the brain is turned off, the neurons can grow freely. This is why sleep is so important. Imagine if your connections weren’t made in the first place. There would be nothing to improve.
An idea is the connection of two concepts
One must understand an idea only as deeply enough that when applying it, the deeper idea applies to as many areas that you should care about as possible, no more. For ex, knowing how the brain works only as deeply as to know that it is a group of neurons connected in a way that changes over time, is enough to apply it in many areas. But if you only stayed at the level of thinking that the brain is complex and helps you think, you can’t use that to create many solutions to many problems
Saying that a child in the zone of proximal development for a certain task cannot do some tasks without the help of others is over simplifying. A person could learn a language by speaking random sounds and noting the effects they had on people, until eventually they built a model for the language. But it would be slow and impractical, and the person may get frustrated, or, in moments of repeating
something they know, bored.
Speech is important in psychological development. It is a major psychological tool in the child’s development of thinking. 6 assumptions: adults tell children how the world works. Thoughts and language are initially separated because speech is first for communicating and socializing but is later used for thinking, as noticed when a child talks to itself. Complex mental processes begin as social activities. Children do more with better help. Hard tasks make children weed out better ways of thinking faster. Play helps simulate tasks.
Promote faster connections of all possible connections of ideas to more quickly weed out the bad ones, having determined why they are so
