I hear you on Busdriver, I tend to not listen to the words and just hear it as a sort of instrument so it doesn't matter what he's saying. But for those that do, I could see it being too much, same with Kool Keith.
I'll check out Brother Ali, I've heard of him but not his music.
Look into underground hip hop, there's all sorts of awesome music of much higher caliber than mainstream rap/hip hop.
Mf Doom, Busdriver, Kool Keith (and his many many aliases), Aesop Rock (not ASAP Rocky or whatever), and I'm sure lots of newer stuff I'm not even familiar with. Digable Planets are pretty big and they're good (and old, like me)
I tend to hear the vocals as an instrument and often have no idea what the words are. It's happened before where once I learn the words I don't like the song as much anymore either because the meaning of the words is distracting or the meaning is way different than the meaning I'd put on the song.
I still personally believe that the basic effect described by Dunning-Kruger does in fact exist on some level. If it's not due to cognition, that seems to imply that essentially everyone at every intelligence level accurately estimates their own intelligence, that would be weird.
Dunning-Kruger became popular because it gave a name to an apparent phenomena.
Our society already produces far more than we need, it's just sucked up by the owner class. If we removed the owner class and their hoarding, we could all work less and still have more than enough to provide for those unwilling or unable to completely provide for themselves.
I personally would be happy to do a bit of work to help ensure people aren't starving or freezing to death because they're going through a depressive episode or even if they're just "lazy fucks". Pretty sure every one I'd consider a friend thinks the same.
You know, it's people with an attitude like yours, unwilling to help out without direct benefit, who I consider lazy, not the person with low ambition.
So are you saying that they suffered from a filesystem bug that caused deletion failure? I'd imagine they use standard filesystems on their backend, I haven't heard about any bugs like this.
If you ask me, what's more likely, that a company known for shitty behavior lies about deleting files so they can continue to use that information to profit, -- OR -- that they are experiencing a filesystem bug on their backend, I'll choose the former.
But clearly the data is not overwritten and this was intentional. How do I know? Because that would amount to a massive amount of data, if it was de to a bug in Apple software or underlying filesystems, it would be detected in monitoring systems "Hey, we're using 10x the data we should be, maybe we should look into it".
The mistake was in the flag code that was supposed to fool us.
Nothing sinister, we just don't delete what we say we delete. Instead we keep it in your profile to feed the algorithms and set the "deleted" flag to make you think it's gone.
The basic effect Dunning-Kruger is about is real and apparent everywhere. The specific formulation as stated from that pair may have some errors but throwing away the idea due to poor science isn't smart.
To establish the Dunning-Kruger effect is an artifact of research design, not human thinking, my colleagues and I showed it can be produced using randomly generated data.
First, we created 1,154 fictional people and randomly assigned them both a test score and a self-assessment ranking compared with their peers.
So, the experiment with completely fake data disproves Dunning-Kruger? How is this science?
Anarcho-communism (and similar ideologies) isn't really about everyone being equal, that's a silly goal that would take enforcement and calculations, it's not practical. Instead, anarcho-communism is a different way of living based on cooperation rather than exploitation and doing what is needed for people rather than what a few rich owners want.
You and a "lazy" person won't necessarily have the same outcome. A person unwilling to even pick up after themselves or contribute would still be guaranteed housing, food, and health care, but that's about it. You on the other hand could work to have a nicer place or acquire things, so long as you aren't getting them exploiting others or common resources. If you build a nice chair the anarcho-fuzz isn't gonna come and take it to split it amongst the community.
The thinking around "laziness" needs to change. A person unwilling to do even the absolute minimum might be called lazy, but A person unwilling to trade their time for money isn't a bad thing. It's not the "lazy" people that wipe out species, start wars, and cause climate change.
