I can be controversial or annoying because I always require proof and facts for whatever people are saying/claiming. This has gotten me into a lot of heated debates, even got myself banned from "YouShouldKnow" for saying I need more proof of Israeli's genocide (that was long ago, got more proof and changed my mind). If I do not agree on some subjectively obvious topic, please do not assume I'm being unfriendly, evil or a troll. I do try my best to approach any subject with neutral and open mind. Just call me autistic with OCD

  • Boredom would make you go insane

  • I've never bought fish or cage-pets because I've always seen it morally wrong - buying living thing, imprisoning it in a small enclosure for your own entertainment. Then my sister got me a hamster for birthday. I constantly felt bad for the thing and wanted to set it free, but also didn't want to hurt my sister since she occasionally came to visit. Lived to the best of my comfort-assisted abilities for 3 years till death.

  • Doubt it, because it's wild how can one go from "I don't think EQ exists/is a good measurement of anything" to "you think I'm a Nazi" without me even mentioning anything from politics, how did you even come to that leap. Thinking of Nazis, you could have just used the Hitler as an argument for EQ being bad measurement because it's safe to assume he measures in both directions at the same time.

  • Genuine question - are you on drugs?

  • Pulls out a mirror

  • Just because I try to be respectful and talk like an adult, does not mean I'm postering myself above others. If my way of talking makes you think less of yourself, that really isn't my problem.

  • Your comparison is so wild.. And your assumptions are not really matching my real world experience. I wish you the best, but there's obviously no point to continue

  • I never said you have low EQ. You said it yourself - no objective way to measure it, and I myself have never thought about others EQ, I just recognize it as group/complex of psychological/personal traits that affect your neurological behaviour.

    However, it is interesting to me how angry/personal you seem about this argument. I'm going to assume this isn't your first time talking about this, and getting disagreed with.

  • Just because you can't objectively measure amount of love between two people, doesn't mean it's invalid theory. You are overthinking this too much, using weird arguments and then try to push a narrative that says "anything that isn't standardized is meaningless". By the same logic, pretty much every psychological/personal trait is a buzzword that cannot be objectively measured, and so it's meaningless. It's intellectually lazy argument.

    And no, empathy or ethics or emotions are not race-based (referring to your previous argument where it could be different between groups)

  • I guess we will stay true to our beliefs. Being able to rationally understand emotions, reflect, feel empathy, etc. are not some foreign concepts, it's real, categorizable human psychology (and neurology?) behaviour.

  • But the idea is still clear. Sure, you have essentially steered the argument to "tests are unreliable", but you haven't disproved the emotional intelligence itself. You said it - just a buzzword

  • Jim & Pam

  • You're getting charged too

  • MSCEIT and BarOn Emotional Quotient Inventory (EQ-i 2.0)

  • I recognize it's possible, but I somehow refuse to believe it happened because of how crazy it sounds. It's like a trauma or something where your brain refuses to accept it as reality and tries to come up with excuses. I already have PTSD from automated hacking bots and crawlers wrecking havoc on my projects. I probably should have taken cybersecurity courses before taking webdev courses

  • No, that's just Dunning Kruger effect

  • I'm actually a bit scared. We're essentially at the early days of AIs now being able to execute tasks and hack. Imagine a much better model than what Claude has now, being set free/open, for hackers to utilize that in a virus. A virus that adapts, learns, changes it's own code/masks, looks for exploits, spreads around like crazy, destroying systems. How do you stop something like that once it starts doing it's thing?
