I should have been more specific - I'm testing a system for displaying those embedded images inline in GameRaven, instead of as links.

| COVxy 03/04/20 10:35:55 PM #171 | hockeybub89 posted... I'm sure people now will be happy to know they died in debt when they got sick so their great-grandchildren could see slightly better. Slow change isn't working anymore and it's a shame people will vote against their own good. Do we all not live on the planet? Do we all not require healthcare at one time? I mean, you'd have an easier time implementing an entirely new government than successfully implementing policy to enact MFA in our current system. It's a nice idea, but when fucking Obamacare got torn to shreds through the process, what possible hope do you have getting MFA to work? The truth is, if Sanders gets into office, best case scenario, he hacks together whatever he has the power to do so using executive privilege, which gets torn down by the next conservative president before there's enough time to implement the infrastructure. Second best case scenario he undoes the damage Trump has done to Obamacare and tries to build moderate policy on top of it through tradition processes. --- =E[(x-E[x])(y-E[y])] |

So when the neurons fire, you can literally image the resultant calcium flux with any type of fluorescent microscopy. A little indirect, but pretty damn close to looking at neurons fire. --- =E[(x-E[x])(y-E[y])] |

I'm just not really sure that debates are a good metric to determine how quick people are on their feet, at least in terms of their answers to the moderators' direct questions. Few questions in the debate are "surprises". I mean, I don't disagree, the way they are moderated sets a pretty low bar, yet people show weaknesses, see Bloomy last night. See Biden pretty much every night. See Butt on racial statistics from South Bend. --- =E[(x-E[x])(y-E[y])] |

| COVxy 02/20/20 5:50:51 PM #255 | Balrog0 posted... no, because I never said that part wasn't true lol Not always, and I didn't say that was the case, but the relationship is certainly there, and usually pretty strong. And in the case of a presidential candidate, where it's really the only way I can see [any] evidence of the candidate's actual thoughts, it seems relatively important. It just seems like people Bernie doesn't need to be good at this shit, because we know he's good. But, you know what, I want our president to be able to think on his or her feet. Seems like quick decision making is one of the most hazardous responsibilities we give the president. --- =E[(x-E[x])(y-E[y])] |
| Topic | Democratic primary general topic 2 |
| COVxy 02/20/20 5:38:03 PM #253 | Balrog0 posted... Yes and I understand exactly why you feel that way. I'm just saying you've given pretty thin reasons to actually think its true. I mean, do you want primary citations from cog. psych showing that responses to remembered items are faster than responses to nonremembered items? It's, like, a very basic finding. Not really something I imagine you're actually contesting here. --- =E[(x-E[x])(y-E[y])] |

| COVxy 02/20/20 5:36:14 PM #252 | shockthemonkey posted... This conversation reminds me of how, after claiming that every Democrat would be essentially the same as president, COVxy could not answer why beyond pivoting to Trumps inability to pass legislation. Oh, Bernie is my second choice, and I think I would be fine with Warren, Bernie, or Biden, for the reason that our governmental system severely hamstrings any of these candidates to the point where I think policy likely ceilings at Biden. --- =E[(x-E[x])(y-E[y])] |

| COVxy 02/20/20 5:33:54 PM #247 | Balrog0 posted... Nope, not at all. I do understand why it appeals to you, though, mr. its what they tell us about academic interviews idk, I think I value being able to answer questions about the things you've thought about... sorry bro. --- =E[(x-E[x])(y-E[y])] |
| Topic | Democratic primary general topic 2 |
| COVxy 02/20/20 5:32:18 PM #244 | Balrog0 posted... e.g., why doesn't it just show someone did better debate prep for example How is debate prep not prepping on policy? The important questions asked during a debate (of which there are often few) are about policy. If you cannot talk about your policy in a fluid and flexible way, I don't have any confidence that you've spent the due diligence thinking about your ideas. In the same way that when an academic gives a talk, and someone asks a blindingly obvious question and the talker flounders, you know that they haven't thought about what they've presented deeply. --- =E[(x-E[x])(y-E[y])] |
| Topic | Democratic primary general topic 2 |
| COVxy 02/20/20 5:29:32 PM #241 | Balrog0 posted... I just sincerely have no idea how this is an answer to my question about why you think a better debate performance is a reason to think someone is more knowledgeable. Sorry. You don't honestly know how: "Previously thought ideas are generated faster than novel ideas" is an answer to the question: "Why do you think [a more fluid candidate is an indication that they have thought about a topic]?" ?? --- =E[(x-E[x])(y-E[y])] |
| Topic | Democratic primary general topic 2 |
| COVxy 02/20/20 5:23:31 PM #238 | Balrog0 posted... So why do you think that? Because generating novel information typically is less fluid than old information. You don't find that when you encounter a new argument, it takes you longer to come up with an answer? And when time pressured, you might just fail? Meanwhile, if this is something you've thought about before, it comes quickly? Like, this is one of the key elements that people look for in academic job talks, the Q&A portion. It's also why you see candidates pivot to talking points that are completely irrelevant to the question, because they have actually practiced and thought about the irrelevant question that they are answering. --- =E[(x-E[x])(y-E[y])] |
| Topic | Democratic primary general topic 2 |
| COVxy 02/20/20 5:14:46 PM #234 | Balrog0 posted... It's less that you think she knows what she's talking about and more that you identify with the way she speaks about it Eh, I don't buy that at all. If someone can come up with a comprehensive answer to a question vs. stumbling and then simply insisting that they are correct (i.e. Trumpian debate tactics), I think it's fair to say that the first person has thought about the issues more deeply. --- =E[(x-E[x])(y-E[y])] |
| Topic | Democratic primary general topic 2 |
| COVxy 02/20/20 5:09:16 PM #228 | Balrog0 posted... Well, there's your bias. Is it a bias? Or do people who have things well thought out usually just simply have more fluid answers to questions? Inference is not the same as bias. --- =E[(x-E[x])(y-E[y])] |
| Topic | Democratic primary general topic 2 |
| COVxy 02/20/20 5:07:52 PM #225 | Balrog0 posted... No. Do you think that being an eloquent speaker means you understand things? Usually that correlation is pretty strong, yes. --- =E[(x-E[x])(y-E[y])] |

| COVxy 02/20/20 5:06:49 PM #223 | Balrog0 posted... perhaps you have your own cognitive biases Do you find Sanders to be an eloquent and convincing speaker, in comparison to Warren? --- =E[(x-E[x])(y-E[y])] |
| Topic | Democratic primary general topic 2 |
| COVxy 02/20/20 5:03:58 PM #221 | I honestly don't understand how people can listen to Sanders and Warren on the same stage and think "oh, Bernie clearly has things more well thought out than her." Perhaps it just doesn't matter. Perhaps it's just the image of being pure. --- =E[(x-E[x])(y-E[y])] |
