When playing games with the kids, we start at 0 being the position you are currently in, then count from there.

e.g. in snakes and ladders, if you are on spot 30 and roll a 5, tap spot 30 and say "zero", then spot 31 is "one" etc.. till you are at spot 35 saying "five".

Teaches the kids about zero and avoids miss counts from the younger ones counting their current position as "one"

NO!

Can you turn me on Greg?

In one of their multitude of inter-nation conflicts; two cities were consumed in nuclear fire. On any sane world; these areas would be abandoned and the area around them a quarantine zone; the humans obviously not being fully sane, rebuilt and flourish.

This is related to the fact that humans along with most of the inhabitants of Sol3, are highly resilient to damage; of all kinds.

Humans reproduce slowly; but even though they generally reproduce not far above replacement rate, their resilience means their population still grows at an exponential rate. And on top of that; their advances in medical technology are on the verge of massive life extension. Soon they will have to move out into space; the galaxy better get ready for them.

You are applying too much classical thinking.

Something in superposition isn't in some unknowable but definite position before measurement.

It is all possible states, at the same time.

Einstein famously did not like the implications of QM, saying "god does not play dice with the universe", though his work on the photo electric effect helped pave the way for QM.

This is the way.

Getting my 5yo to accept that he can peddle and balance by himself; takes longer than the ability. He used to crash once he realized I had stopped balancing him, sometimes it would take a minute or more.

So is walking

No worries, I don't expect many people have an understanding of what superposition actually means.

The Lemmy crowd probably skews towards those that are likely to understand it, but you never know.

This is just a misunderstanding of superposition.

A superposition is being in all possible states before "collapsing" into a defined state, after interacting with something (a measuring device).

So Schrodinger's immigrant will be in all possible states; they are obviously lazy welfare bums; whilst simultaneously taking all the jobs; and being so poor that they eat your pets; and having the time to organize groups to go raping; whilst also being trustworthy enough to be a housekeeper or nanny

You are correct, it isn't scientific to extrapolate from such a paucity of data. We will have to have more data points to test any hypothesis.

I do indeed.

I also took a job far closer to home last year, I'm only commuting 8 minutes each way now.

Look at this guy, blithely inviting a holy war to his doorstep.

The needs thing is interesting. But you can't really have a conversation about the higher needs without the lower needs being satisfied first.

The flail.

Always the flail.

Yes, I was involved in a bunch of Reddit communities that were really good.

But it go to the point where it shit the bed; it was time to leave. I was happy to find Lemmy. I haven't been back to Reddit in around 6 months.

I don't do algorithmic social media. So Lemmy is really up my alley.

I'm not so sure about that....have you seen some of the people on the internet.

If I was going to map something like ability in vector space; I would put IQ and EI on orthogonal axis. Each a component of the overall ability vector.

But to this you would have to add (just for mental parts), components of memory (storage and recall), curiosity, how do you measure creativity? The overall vector becomes the unique position in n-space, where n is the number of components you choose to measure.

knowledge (IQ) became much more readily available

Just a note knowledge and IQ are not the same. From psychology today:

IQ tests seek to measures a variety of intellectual skills that include verbal, non-verbal and spatial.

From my reading over the years, IQ tests have been modified many times to try to remove any specific references to knowledge. One example is the removal of the question of "what colour are rubies?" this was because it unfairly penalized poor people who may never have seen a ruby.

I think your musing around different routes to power, is probably not far off base. If you are really high in either IQ or EI you probably have high potential to gain power (just different types).

This discussion has gone off on a wonderful tangent :)

I get after school activities with them.

Have to use steel cut oats, rolled oats turn into mush if cooked overnight.

I don't sleep that much. I have the advantage of being a short sleeper, 4-6 hrs per night is normal, I find it very difficult to sleep more than 6 hrs.

I'm usually in bed by 11, and asleep before 12.

I wake before my alarm at 5:30
