This honestly explains a lot.

@georgetakei Well, all is relative. The Homo Sapiens exists at least for half a million years. So, 2.500 years are fairly recently/modern.

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.

[gmsizemore@mastodon.social]

@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 I am introspective enough to distrust introspection.

@georgetakei

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

@StarkRG @georgetakei @jrdepriest “Meat golem” actually sounds kinda cool. I’m not sure I would disavow it if accused. Can I introspect and still be a meat golem?

[starkrg@myside-yourside.net]

@mkb @georgetakei @jrdepriest You're a meat *person* (as opposed to a vegetable person, a fungus person, or a mineral person).

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

[sstrader@masto.ai]

@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.

[dwalin_7@piaille.fr]

@StarkRG @georgetakei i used to say philosophy is what differentiates humans from animals, but we always dehumanize behaviour we dislike and we have to acknowledge that these individuals who don't introspect or don't think or else ate indeed also humans. I'm not even sure psychiatrists have names for them, there simply are different types of minds.

[gimulnautti@mastodon.green]

@georgetakei Philosophy is so woke

[francoisprague@mastodon.social]

@gimulnautti @georgetakei so is intelligence

Vincent Price was a master criminal known as Egghead & was one of the smartest men in the world. He had a huge ego & was forever talking about his own brilliance while making egg puns on the #Batman TV show.

Marc Andreessen is bald.

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