"We make many of our most important decisions based on what can only be called cognitive illusions. This is embarrassing for us to realise, but the evidence for it is undeniable."
so to that, i say:
"there is no shame in the truth." -- Minbari Religious Cast Elder to Student, Babylon5.
"head into the wave." -- me / old saying / unattributed
as in find your way to where you no longer defeat yourself with your subborn clinging to your self image as one who makes no such errors.
embrace the errors.
then you are on the path. then you are learning.
our confirmation bias, our cognitive illusions, are due eternal vigilance, to not succumb to their blinding arogance and mental/investigative/scrutinative sloth.
this is true whether stupid, or oh so much more clever.
especially if you are oh so much more clever.
because if you really are oh so much more clever, you will suffer more fuel on that fire.
and also, thinking you're oh so much more clever, is improbably true. not that i'm saying truth's always derivable, or even aproachable, through simple statistical analysis, but... since we're always going on a little information, and the dangerousness of how little that information is, can be worsened by how much littler we make it by our confirmation-biasing, cognitive illusions, our slothful lazy hastey grasp on shortcuts, we dont even realise, we're doing it, we dont even realise how little we have, and we tell ourselves we have a lot, we tell ourselves as much as we have, is a lot of what there is, even to the extreme, that it's all there is. unwittingly, we become know it alls, with next to nothing. and we think we're the smarty-est.
there's no shame in the truth.
we're not that smart.
we're not as smart as we think we are. no shame in the truth, that we think we're smart, and that we think that's smarter than we are.
knowing this,
helps us get smarter.
wiser.
wise enough to continue learning.
wise enough to catch ourselves from short-handed thinking.
wise enough to see when we have, and wise enough eagerly accept that, and even point it out to others. wise enough to accept we'll likely never absolutely be beyond this, and even more likely are not beyond it right now, and so reapplies the humility introspective vigilance, not to identify as one who has risen above it, but to persist in plucking away and batting away all the times it has happened already, and all the times more oncoming.
"all i know is i know nothing, and sometimes i forget even that much." -- Me, often, but not often enough without vanity, not often enough really heeding what i (and socrates) mean by it.

old: #microsoft uses #redscare against #linux https://www.theregister.com/2000/07/31/ms_ballmer_linux_is_communism/ Microsoft still thinks this way. But not PUBLICLY... also, Microsoft (MONOCULTURE IMPOSED) is the real communism.
Gewerkschaftliche Organisation stand in den #USA seit jeher unter schwierigen Voraussetzungen. Anerkannt wurden Gewerkschaften erst in den dreißiger Jahren mit dem »New Deal« unter Präsident Franklin D. #Roosevelt. Wie der Ausgang der »Schlacht am Blair Mountain« Shogan zufolge zeigt, teilten viele Arbeiter den Glauben in den #Staat als Hüter der Gerechtigkeit und als Garant des »amerikanischen Traums« von den unbegrenzten individuellen Entfaltungsmöglichkeiten – eine Schizophrenie angesichts des täglichen Überlebenskampfes. Außerdem gibt es in den USA bis heute ein Mosaik leicht gegeneinander auszuspielender Bevölkerungsgruppen – selbst Iren wurden seinerzeit rassistisch als »Nichtweiße« herabgewürdigt, nach britischem Vorbild. Erst Organisationen wie die anarchosyndikalistischen Industrial Workers of the World (IWW), die sogenannten #Wobblies, nahmen Arbeiterinnen und Arbeiter egal welcher Herkunft und Nationalität auf.
Anarchisten und Kommunisten und selbstverständlich auch Gewerkschafter standen in den USA von Anfang an im Visier der Staatsmacht. Nicht umsonst erinnert der »Kampftag der Arbeiterklasse« am 1. Mai (in den USA findet der »Labor Day« Anfang September statt) an die berüchtigte »Haymarket-Affäre«, bei der 1887 nach einem Bombenanschlag bei einer Demonstration für den Achtstundentag in #Chicago sieben Anarchisten zum Tode verurteilt und erhängt wurden, obwohl sie mit dem Attentat nichts zu tun hatten, darunter August Spies, Herausgeber der Arbeiterzeitung, dessen letzte Worte lauteten: »Man kann nicht ewig wie ein Stück Vieh leben.«
