  • An expert system can't learn or increase the complexity of its decision making in real time. A human can. The fact that healthcare is a science doesn't mean the science has already discovered every fact in existence. In fact, that's the opposite of what science means. Automated systems will always fail to account for nuance while they are driven by profit seeking and cost cutting.

    For example, I'm nonbinary and intersex. Patient intake forms often ask if I'm male or female. I check neither box, as I'm neither. If I tell a human nurse or receptionist this, they'll usually understand. They might even draw in a third box.

    An expert system screening for different types of cancer might only look for breast cancer if the patient is female, and only look for prostate cancer if the patient is male. But I have the possibility of developing either. A human doctor can understand this and adapt to the situation easily. But an expert system will only check both possibilities if its designers were intersex-accepting.

  • It's the definition of a troll. Being disingenuous in order to upset others. If that's not what you mean, don't call someone a troll.

    I do believe trolls exist, and in my opinion the world's greatest troll is Ken M, who makes fun of people that were going to get upset anyway, and who never punches down. But I would rather use Hanlon's razor in most situations.

  • Partisan realists don't want to have more disagreements with people who have different politics, they want to pretend there are no disagreements and that people with different politics don't exist. They call anyone they disagree with a troll who's just lying that they disagree

  • All the best movies are political. Star Wars, Citizen Kane, Jurassic Park, the Matrix. Nobody can name a great movie that isn't political, because politics is what makes movies fun. If they didn't have politics, they'd suck.

  • The original argument was about whether people change their minds in the face of evidence. The evidence says people don't change their minds in the face of evidence. The person you're saying is a troll refused to change their mind in the face of evidence. You think they should have changed their mind in the face of evidence, because you believe that people don't change their minds in the face of evidence. Correct?

  • Well, you think the person described in the story is a troll because nobody is that unreasonable, right? You're wrong. People really are that unreasonable. Not everyone whose words are incompatible with their actions is faking to try and trick you. Most people, like you, have some kind of made up excuse why it's okay for them to act contrary to their own beliefs. Like the state of public transport. I'm sure the person in the story has an excuse just like yours.

  • The average person knows that oil is making the world uninhabitable and still drives a car. In fact, when I go outside like you're suggesting, there's no more nature, I only see cars and infrastructure built for cars. So yes, the average person is this unreasonable, and going outside won't convince me otherwise.

  • Yes, it's a person being exactly as unreasonable as the average person tends to be. You seem unwilling to admit that people can have bad opinions. So are you part of the partisan realists?

  • Are you a member of that movement that's trying to segregate the realities of the left and right by convincing people that everyone who disagrees with them or has a bad opinion is faking?

  • Also they would have had a higher diversity of crops if not for landlords. Landlords were extorting farmers and the only way the farmers could pay the bills was with the vegetable that had the highest margin. Farmers were forced to switch from other crops to growing potatoes by their landlords.
