"They're made out of neurons"

"Neurons?"

"Neurons. Cells that fire impulses. We checked the whole thing through. It's nothing but neurons."

"Neurons doing what? Where do the words come from?"

"The neurons make the words. Are you understanding me? We opened it up. There's no dictionary in there, no grammar rules, no little man. Just neurons. A whole cortex of neurons sending each other impulses."

...

People don't understand emergence.

I've been taking a look at the source and it's a work of art :O

Upvoted just for the name.

This is solved by Mojo already, they must be rushing something to compete, since Mojo is in version 1.0beta1

That some people play survival all the time because "that's what life is" does not mean that humanity doesn't have pockets of more quiet, non-competitive environments where blue pressers thrive. Humans have had a lot of periods where they were not being "just animals".

But I guess everyone thinks the world is like he wants it to be in this respect.

The thing is, all those red button pressers can't see that, for all their exact and flawless reasoning, they have a bias towards individuality, which they see as the only possibility, and we blue button pressers perfectly understand the math and yet we have a bias towards others, and would sacrifice more readily at many situations like this one. This sacrifice is what reds see as "dumb", but natural selection has chosen this because it probably works.

Both sides have a mental bias, and just can't see each other's "reasoning" because of it.

We blues think of reds as selfish, because we can't conceive of anyone not thinking of the worst outcome for others, and being empathetic about it, making it one's own. And they see us as "virtue signalling", or getting some external value of some kind (recognition from peers) because they can't think of any other explanation to justify that behavior, when it is just pure bias towards sacrifice. Sacrifice is just that, giving something without asking nothing, which does not make sense for a red. Reds think we are dumb but society needs a little more blues than reds. Otherwise it probably collapses.

I'm such a proud blue. in fact... ;)

To me, the whole point of the riddle is that it reveals the most internal bias towards either yourself or others, meaning that you do things for society or for yourself. Blues don't understand reds, reds don't understand blues. The bias is invisible to the self but it is clearly there given the huge contrast in the opinions of people.

I could put my signature on your comment as if it was mine, wouldn't change even a comma.

Apart from the exhaustion of context switching, I believe there is a internal signal that gauges how "fast" things are happening in your life. Stress responses are triggered whenever things are going too fast (as if you were driving in a narrow road at too much speed) and it feels like there is danger since you intuit that a small mistake is gonna have big consequences.

Some people thrive in more stressful situations, because they don't get as aroused in calmness, but everybody has a threshold velocity at which discomfort starts, higher or lower. AI puts us closer to that threshold, for sure.

The funny thing is that upon registration of a .cat domain you are required to acknowledge that your website is not related to cats at all. So those domains are, in theory, not in compliance.

They don't ask you to "acknowledge that your website is not related to cats at all", they're asking you to confirm that the website "serve(s) the needs of the Catalan Linguistic and Cultural Community on the Internet" by entering what the intended use is. Signed, owner of emsh.cat.

One could say by having the websites become popular and viral, and offering versions of the their websites in Catalan, they are spreading Catalan culture to more parts of the internet. We're having a discussiong about it right now, others are reading, pretty big impact from just the TLD choice :)

But what if it's a Catalan cat charity?
