WiR discusses Cognitive Dissonance and my being Gandalf's "rabbi"



2:50:00 Church of Entropy's crazy diagram on Cognitive Dissonance
2:57:00  Doooovid on Cognitive Dissonance
2:58:00 Every time you are wrong is Cognitive Dissonance
2:58:00  Freud
3:00:00  Some of us may never correct ourselves.
3:03:00  Self-correction or else sickness and death may result.
3:04:00  Copenhagen Interpretation
3:05:00  Consonance is when what we believe aligns with reality.
3:06:00  When a person changes their mind
3:08:00  JF and nihilism
3:09:00  The self-created meaning
3:20:00  What makes Gandalf angry
3:22:00  How Gandalf lost his graduate school career
3:23:00  Physics and Philosophy
3:24:00  Jen admits she doesn't go too deep into certain things.
3:25:00  Jen doesn't like reading.
3:26:00  Why is consciousness a problem anyway?
3:27:00  The problems of delegation re Curt. Gandalf is described by Jen as "trepidatious".
3:28:00  Roofus
3:29:00  Gandalf was taken in by Curt.
3:30:00  Schmitt and the Will of the Sovereign
3:33:00  I don't know what I would have called this!
3:38:00  Monarchy has long since been discredited.
3:39:00  Dooooovid's "medicine"
3:40:00  Gandalf - slave of Doolittle
3:41:00  Slavery

3:43:00  I have indeed offered to be Gandalf's adviser for a month. My message to him:

I can be your "rabbi" if you want. We can try for a month.

I will just point out what I think you are doing wrong every time you are doing it, and you can see if anyone notices an improvement.

I can start by telling you what not to do:

1) Never tell people your feelings.
2) Never tell people what you want. 
3) Never directly boast about your achievements.
As an exercise, we could invite a guest to interact with you and I will retire to see how you interact with him or her and take notes on how you follow those 3 simple rules while displaying your rhetorical and social skills.

We start with Jen and Dooovid and then anyone else who wants to participate.

3:46:00  Secular Koranism
3:49:00  Of course I know more about Judaism than Gandalf! Do I know more about Judaism than a rabbi?
3:50:00  Yochanan Avraham
4:14:00  The antisemitic drivel of Adam Green is based on thorough research and presentation.
4:43:00  Karen






4:46:00  "Sect of physics"
4:47:00  Sibling rivalry
4:48:00  "Nonsense to justify nonsense", "mad scientist", "highly regulated"
4:49:00  "high-functioning non-dangerous", "delusional" "But you are crazy!"
4:50:00  "You are delusional."
4:52:00  "Psychiatrist"
4:53:00  "Crazy belief system"
4:54:00  Judging people on their beliefs
4:57:00  Who has the authority to say who is crazy?
4:59:00  The rational and scientific would want to rely on truth. For practical purposes, undisputed facts will be regarded as true.

5:03:00  Jen asks "Craziness is outside the confines of morals?"

If your perception of the world is at odds with those of the majority - which makes you already crazy - and you act in a way that is considered immoral ie harmful to the majority, you would be considered crazy and dangerous. Jen's behaviour has not crossed this line yet.  

5:04:00  "Our best classification for you is delusional."
5:05:00  "But I use science!"
5:06:00  "Church of Entropy is crazy." "We can't make sense out of what she is saying."
5:10:00  Luke Ford
