This man works on a small farm in Kenya. If anyone would be interested in joining a group voice chat with him (tomorrow) Sunday afternoon let me know.
>no just the normalfaggots, they should remain contained in twitter and not pollute the fediverse
"Remain contained"? They live on the same IRL planet, and they make IRL polices that are enacted through IRL force. The astroturfing of Twitter is the mechanism by which they are coordinated, and pulling them out of Twitter has a massive advantage all by itself.
I could write two more paragraphs connecting this to human thermodynamics, but you seem incapable of responding even to your own two-part questions, much less mine:
>maybe you should wonder what makes Somalia inferior and Iceland superior in the first place
>no, the topic is why people do not migrate from the inferior Somalia to the superior Iceland
Immigration restrictions, which in this case are designed to make the cost of transition **higher**. Are you trying to say that you don't want anyone new to join the Fediverse?
>maybe you should wonder what makes Somalia inferior and Iceland superior in the first place
A certain Tribe wanted to enslave the local population and so deliberately poisoned their culture. Man without a culture is nothing but a Beast.
Speaking of which, the culture of Iceland hasn't been doing too hot [sic] lately, has it? It's almost like a poisoned culture is a universal problem.
>Spreading social media is satanic.
Spreading Twitter is satanic. Spreading Fediverse is not. Why do you equivocate them?
>addiction factories
If you use your Free Will to shitpost, I suggest you pray for forgiveness. I use my Free Will to effortpost, and my voice joins the choir of others who do the same.
>3 Let them praise His name in chorus and choir and with the [single or group] dance; let them sing praises to Him with the tambourine and lyre!

>These are not people who matter in the overall course of humanity.
The market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent.
>a graph that has nothing to do with the topic
The topic is why people do not transition from the inferior Twitter to the superior Fediverse, and the answer is the cost of transition, which Qoto reduces for SFW normies and no other instance does.
Lowering the cost of transition using an onboarding instance directly corresponds to the idea of lowering the activation energy of a reaction using a catlyst or enzyme.
The original graph showed instead the dual idea of increasing the temperature (ambient energy) to "lower" the relative activation energy, which causes the same effect (an increase in the shaded area of potential molecules amenable to reaction).

>He's previously preached to me himself that it's mandatory to be in stem if you're on the instance.
"A Mastodon instance for scholars in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) and all yearning to learn." You just gotta YEARN TO LEARN my guy!
>how do I know if you're not feelmo himself?
I've never seen someone with a power-tripping ego be able to frankly discuss the problems they censor on their main openly on their alt. Have you?
>also, the most based normie instance is clearly NAS
REGISTRATION IS CLOSED PLEASE REGISTER WITH A DIFFERENT FEDERATED SERVER YOU CAN INTERACT WITH ANYONE HERE THROUGH THE FEDIVERSE
>fedi was fine before qoto, it'll be fine after
No, this is just edgy cope. I mean I'm sure Fediverse will continue to "exist", just like IRC will continue to "exist". If that's all you want then sure.
No onboarding server = no onboarding. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see the thrust of the matter!
>he also verifies it
I never verified any STEM thing. You can't onboard normies to the Fediverse with an instance whose timeline is full of anime and windmills. Qoto serves a critical niche as the most based SFW centrist instance with open registrations. Without that niche Fediverse would die. Thank Goodness for Qoto.

Was a banger, 4-way talk. I sped up to 3x and timestamped it for y’all. Anyone wants to call in guests are open! #CultureWarRadio
0:18 Introductions
CD, street art 91, psychology
2:45 Begin Alienation of Labor
91, separation of worker from their labor 91, versus worker express themselves versus what they own and what they make 91, eg African chocolate farmers don’t recognize a Hershey’s Bar
4:45 Psychology Alienation of Labor
WJ, we want to see the enjoyment in other people’s eyes from what we’ve provided e.g. a shoemaker CD, extend how many “utils” of something to how many “muses” of something
6:25 Intermediaries Alienation of Labor
WJ/91, Coordinators; bosses versus councils; is teacher authority over student justified CD, labor dissociation at job balanced by hobbies at home? 91, legitimate desires versus advertising-induced desires CD, yes corporations rent-seek but they also produce good results
12:13 Dunbar Numbers, Reynolds Numbers, Hayek-Lenin Numbers
SS, generalize laminar/turbulent flow of fluids to laminar/turbulent flow of market/government information SS, alienated advertisement versus integrated advertisement
16:32 Corporations (or other)
CD, they are good at what they do SS, only if you control their boundary conditions WJ, they want to grow (degenerately) 91, e.g. Tucker Torpedo, Phoebus Cartel, Licensing, Right to Repair
18:50 How do workers have freedom under “central” planning?
SS/91, “council democracy” = if you have idea you can say locally, if coworkers endorse it can do it or escalate it SS, alienation of control/alienation of consequences is flip coin of alienation of labor CD, ideas have to exist “on credit” for a time before they profit, how fairly distribute “on credit”? 91/SS, “local” at one level is “central” at another level; need information “bypasses/highways” to assist information “capillaries/local-nets”
22:58 What is your motto?
CD, Do you know your company’s (or other group’s) motto? All, Is motto bullshit or not? WJ, Sense of comraderie/being on team more important than motto?
26:00 Cultural Appropriation
WJ, giving credit CD, Barbeque
30:15 Freedom to Do versus Freedom to Criticize
SS, okay for some people to look down on you but others not CD, is the actual victim criticizing you or someone else leveraging them 91, music power
34:25 Fediverse
All, Actual Audience versus “Potential” Audience All, links and goodbyes

A buff is like a fan or a connoisseur or enthusiast. You recognized aether as a classical element and insisted on its spelling. You also promised to say hi to us there :)
Hello here are some friends I met on the [watchredditdie discord](https://discord.gg/jXjTetpvNB). Since we have a critical mass of fediverse people there I think it's a good nexus for outreach and evacuation from discord.
@zleap is the source of the #YearOfTheFediverse tag and banner
@category_mirrory is a fan of category theory and math<->language metaphors such as homomorphism<->metaphor.
@jlj hosts nfld and is an expert in diodes and lateral thinking.
@nar is a big aether buff who is very short on time.
@Liberonscien likes tracing where restaurants get their ingredients.
# The Paradox of Consistency - Part Two
> If someone got 0 correct that might strongly indicate the person is psychic too.
That is the correct answer and thank you for hosting qoto. The scenario is from a book where a telepathic child underwent such a test and tried to hide their ability, and was therefore caught because they gave no correct answers (which is impossible for a non-telepath).

* If too many judges agree
* If measurements of a noisy signal are too consistent
* If you find the same DNA in too many places
* If there are too many fines belonging to the same ID
* If your chem-trace results show too many positives
* If too many witnesses agree
* If you experience a single gamma ray bit errors
I found the theme of this video interesting because it reminded me of a characteristic of certain political theories often discussed today; namely that when you grant their assumptions it almost seems like they are "too good" at predicting or explaining every event that happens. One can posit a heuristic, then, that if a certain complicated-sounding theory or mode of analysis seems to produce "too consistent" a result; then it is likely that complicated-sounding theory or mode of analysis (T/MA) is actually effectively isomorphic to a far simpler (and less persuasive) T/MA for all values tested. It is as though the complicated-sounding T/MA is a complex electronic device which has a flaw resulting in a short circuit, causing it to behave as a much simpler and probably unintended T/MA. This also resembles a complex mathematical function intended to produce a complex mathematical shape containing a hidden factor that reduces to a far more degenerate shape over the values tested.
# The Paradox of Consistency - Part One
**Background**: The government is testing citizens for telepathic potential.
**Procedure**: Each citizen is pulled into a room containing an experimenter, a face-down deck of 100 Zenner Cards (5 possible symbols), and 5 buttons each marked with a Zenner Symbol. The experimenter draws and looks at a card without showing it to the citizen, and the citizen tries to press the correct button, until the entire deck is depleted.
**Question**: At what threshold of correct guesses should the government consider it extremely likely the citizen has telepathic potential (<1% chance of reaching by random guessing)? Feel free to approximate.
**Assumptions**: The deck is perfectly random and can contain infinite duplicates. No cheating whatsoever occurs. No information leaks (except through telepathy).
**Hint**: Only trying values in [this tool](https://www.emathhelp.net/calculators/probability-statistics/binomial-distribution-calculator/?n=100&x=20&p=0.2) is necessary to find the answer. The pre-loaded values show that there is a 44.05384% of chance of guessing more than 20 cards correctly without telepathic ability.
