When the Mind Rewrites Reality How Bias Snowballs Grow Into Illusions
We like to think we see the world clearly, like we are noticing what is really happening. But a lot of the time our minds are quietly shaping what we notice and what we ignore.... AMA with Rob Miles on AI Safety. Wednesday, 2/4 at 1:00pm CT
AISafety.info founder has spent years telling the world about risk posed by strong AI.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6tYqqb6AjTMAsking more and better questions of the AI too. Most will tell you that they 'don't know' how they arrive at some conclusion or provide an opinion. That is helpful to me as a user. Keeps things in perspective.... Bad Decisions Start with Bad Perception
Bad Decisions Start with Bad Perception Most failures in judgment don’t begin with bad decisions. They begin with distorted perception. Before we talk about awareness, decision-making, or action, we have to talk about what’s happening before all of that — what we notice, what we... Who am I? Great to meet everyone here!
I wanted to take a moment to to let you all know a bit about myself.
I am an entrepreneur that wears a lot of hats. I am a Realtor, insurance agent, content creator on Twitch and YouTube, and professional dungeon master.
I am so looking forward to connecting with you all here. Let’s grow together!
100% it has given me an interesting viewpoint that I take onto sales. Being a DM taught me to anticipate choices and be able to think on the fly in response.... Who am I? Great to meet everyone here!

looking forward to connecting here too! What a cool mix of hats. I'm curious if you feel like that range gives you any unique insight into how humans interact and make decisions.... A Future I Love Runs On . The Timeless Technology of Right Relationship, leveraging independence to serve and increase interdependence fueled by mutual desire, alignment, and enjoyment.
Throughout human history, survival needs have compelled relational compromise. We live to the standards of others, or we die alone. We compromise ourselves, or we ask that others compromise, and we control or be controlled, all in order to have some semblance of our preferences met, some farce of belonging, some "form" of relationship.
As abundance has flooded our material world, as life has gotten easier, we've created distance in order to experience freedom from social constraints. We have used the technology of independence in the worst possible way--to live independently.
The future I love is one in which we leverage our ability to be independent and self-sufficient to draw us into close and voluntary low-stakes relationships with many other human beings.
No longer are our choices to go it alone or compromise our authenticity to fit in. The networking of the world means that there is somewhere our authenticity will be welcome and we can find it and go to there within our lifetimes. This is unprecedented freedom, which shows very clearly in the way we don't have any idea what to do about it.
I go to "community" homes and notice that everyone has their own car, shops for their own food, and makes their own individual meals. This is the greatest expression, for me of unconditional poverty in community form. Conditionally, wealth is present. Regardless of the conditional wealth, individualist practices can keep us in poverty.In the future I love, we have unconditional wealth, the wealth of interdependence with aligned individuals, the wealth of relational harmony, the wealth of contentment in the now moment.
And it's not so far-fetched, it's not so futuristic. I have it here now.#futureyoulove
I think one aspect of ease is, this future you're pointing at wants us "all in". It doesn't seem to gel well with any amount of "one foot out the door". I think, "but what will I lose?" when I stay on the fence.... "You know, there are 13 ways of doing anything. 11 of them will work. Just pick one and do it.”
Dennis Hightower, who at the time was head of Disney International. He asked me why I wasn’t doing something, and I responded by explaining the pros and cons of two different ways of doing it. Thoughtfully, he replied “You know, there are 13 ways of doing anything.... When you take one path. When you take one path, all other paths die and are left behind.
Such is the weight of all our choices.But I'm not good at letting things die. I keep going back and dragging half-alive corpses around. Abomination!
You stink of the dead. Mark your endings and grieve them, foul beast!Sometimes when I feel really unsure about which path to take, like should I invest in a program now or not, I'll tune into each path to notice which one feels lighter...... Creative thinking vs winning an argument. Creative thinking needs to be taught and valued as highly as smart thinking, right thinking, and ethical thinking.
I wonder if we've been trained - consciously and unconsciously - to converse in formats that can be intimidating and arguable ... inviting responses that are judging, which can then be judged back and forth: smart or stupid, right or wrong, ethical or corrupt ... that binary thing we do. I propose that this creates anxiety and intimidates creative brainstorming, mutually respectful musing, generous listening, genuine questioning, seeking connection and curious questions?
I can be as guilty as the next person - fishing for affirmation by winning a point in conversation ...
#DeepTakes
I think I agree with the spirit of what you're saying. I just want to add that it's possible to frame creative thinking as the "explore" side of the explore/exploit dynamic. And by its nature, exploring is going to appear less worthwhile than exploiting by most metrics.... Navigating Buying or Walking. For those of you who are good at saving your money. 💰 What inspires you to not buy?
Say you’re in a store or online and you see something cool. What do you do? What are your criteria for buying or walking away?
Asking because while I love knowing money is being put away, I also love to shop. It can be as simple as, I’m in Manchester (like I am right now) and want to buy something unique that I can’t buy at home. Or I don’t have a something in that color, fabric or design. I don’t need it. I just like it and will enjoy it.
How do you navigate this? What’s your approach?
It’s super helpful to me to create a structure of rules for myself to obey in the moment and upgrade later if needed. For example, I used to buy way too much clothing at thrift stores because why not it’s so cheap.... Navigating Buying or Walking.

How do you navigate this? What’s your approach?
When I’m shopping, whether I’d enjoy having something doesn’t really factor into whether I buy it, my thinking tends to be more pragmatic and I often delay (often unnecessarily) making the purchase.... Navigating Buying or Walking

one way we can do this is to make more liberal use of titles, and brag on people. @Valerie Daniel is the MANAGING DIRECTOR, and we should have her listed as such in emails and things

What do we already do that is already healthy orange?I’m leaning into disagreement here, please please please, tell me to stop if it’s not fun/generative!
