Wait, isn't realizing that you have zero introspection a form of introspection?

@georgetakei I'm a bit surprised Mark didn't refer to Introspection as "woke". :-/

@georgetakei I am certain he will have a lot of introspection when walking up the stairs to the guillotine.

@georgetakei A 2021 study https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7935085/ measuring political attitudes correlating with damage to different sections of the brain found
"...people with frontal lesions held more conservative (or less liberal) beliefs than those with anterior temporal lobe lesions or no lesions. Additional analyses predicting ideology by extent of damage provided convergent evidence that greater damage in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex—but not the amygdala—was associated with greater conservatism."

@georgetakei Yes, narcissists and psychopaths tend to not know what introspection is.

@georgetakei

@georgetakei

Q: Are you leading a just life?

A: Never thought about it. I just do stuff randomly. Introspection is woke. My spirit animal is a jellyfish.

@georgetakei It's like bragging that you only want to eat Big Macs, EVER! Yeah when you're six years old.

@georgetakei
Touché to Matt!

@georgetakei People like this Andreessen fellow are the people who Socrates went after in his dialogues, and who eventually persecuted Socrates.

@georgetakei i want to know how he knows he has zero introspection

@georgetakei Philosophy is so woke

@georgetakei These people are like a naive kid who finds out they can say anything they want to on the internet, but then they have to live the rest of their lives being mocked by others for the stupid things they say. History is those others that will be mocking Andreessen, Thiel, Musk, Altman, etc. But unfortunately they're adults and don't have that amygdala-prefrontal excuse to explain their behavior.

@georgetakei so if he doesn't use his head, he won't mind losing it, do I understand that right?

@georgetakei FFS even the word "introspection" isn't modern. It dates back to the 17th century in English but derives from the ancient Latin *introspectus", meaning to look within. Why are these billionaires so willfully, proudly ignorant?

I'm starting to think some of them are philosophical zombies - in that they have no inner lives - which perhaps explains why they think chatbots might be people and other humans are expendable.

@georgetakei Thereby proving his lack of education.

@georgetakei

Billionaires are all sociopaths. They may not have started out that way but they ALL become it in the end.

@georgetakei I am introspective enough to distrust introspection.

@georgetakei We don't hate billlionaires enough. #TaxbillionairesOutofExistence

#TechBros - #TechOligarchs - #ShitForBrains. #GriftersGonnaGrift in #Trumpistan.
@georgetakei

@georgetakei From a purely epistemological standpoint, he's probably right. Words that refer to mental states, for example, were once (i.e., etymologically) frank references to behavior. A certain segment of the population appears to have no "mental imagery" at all. They can report other "private events," though...

@georgetakei

Only way to sleep when you know you're responsible for all kinds of death and misery that didn't have to happen except for your own wanky dumbass lonely loser jollies. Pigass pig.

@georgetakei in a normal world, such self-absorbed ignorant parasites should be kicked out in a way or another, and not given the opportunity to make us endure their infatuation.

@georgetakei
Thanks to Reagan , billionaires are a modern invention.

@georgetakei

Oh, to be so dim, yet so obscenely wealthy. It’s clear he has nothing in common with the rest of society.

@georgetakei This is just more of the "empathy is bad" crowd's absolute bullshit.

@georgetakei He's making statements about his own mind, but he doesn't think he has _any_ introspection?

@georgetakei

@georgetakei
So when he says "modern" he means "anything after the invention of writing, when people immediately started recording what philosophers were saying?

@georgetakei "Plato? Aristotle? Socrates? Morons!"

@georgetakei

I'm not saying every billionaire is a shallow empty husk, but enough of them are.

@georgetakei so yeah he's a sociopath.

@georgetakei he needs his 3 braincells for breathing, blinking and walking at the same time. None left over for other tasks.

@georgetakei

Who has the most cartoon villain like views of the world?

Hint, only one of them was acting.

@georgetakei

You mean, totally unlike Buddhism

@georgetakei Truth

@georgetakei I think that the capacity for introspection is a key component of what makes someone a person and not just a meat golem. And I'm not just talking about Homo Sapiens, whatever the other components are, if a species has them, including introspection, then they're people.

@georgetakei He's clearly an uneducated billionaire.

@georgetakei These are truly the most uneducated people.
And by educated I do not mean formal education. A degree does not make you 'educated.'

@georgetakei Nobody needs Marc. He's a modern invention.

@georgetakei
He's compensating for that head.
