Why does the essentialist thing matter? Because like the tape recorder and the computer, we LEAP to thinking that how people perform at *tasks* is equivalent to *how people are.* This is a really dangerous assumption that leads into a lot of grifter, bullshit thinking. For instance, thinking that measuring that people who are essentially undermotivated to achieve successful learning (already a challenging ask) in a laboratory session is the same thing as measuring their "ability"

One of my favorite recent examples of this, which I cited in our Cumulative Culture Theory of Dev Problem-Solving paper (link below), comes from this work:

Young, E. S., Frankenhuis, W. E., DelPriore, D. J., & Ellis, B. J. (2022). Hidden talents in context: Cognitive performance with abstract versus ecological stimuli among adversity‐exposed youth. Child development, 93(5), 1493-1510.

Western industrialized cultures have large histories of being very "essentialist," which means we often think things about people (their learning, their "performance") are explained by fixed, born-with-it (innate) traits. This is an attribution bias we (in my culture) have. It has frequently led us to miss the fact that there is variance *within people* and to not learn as much about the environmental factors that help people access their full potential, or block them from this

Our *attention system* is a whole other complex and deeply important thing to grapple with here. Frequently, I see people confuse issues of attention, with deep and essentialist issues of "ability."

We remember what we pay attention to. This is one reason that if you live your life looking at your phone, you will not remember your own life as much. It's also a reason that people experience mindfulness practice as a kind of "slowing down." fascinating stuff that we can actually learn to improve

원래 짜장면 같은 것도
의외로 섬세한 요리라서
사람이 어떻게 볶느냐, 불 세기 등등에 따라
맛이 천차만별로 달라진대요.

그래서 백종원처럼 매뉴얼만 준다고
맛을 제대로 구현해내는 게 불가능해서
짜장면 같은 건 맛을 평준화시킬 수 없다고 하더라구요. :blobcatgooglydrool:

Casual thoughts about memory and our misconceptions about it, based on the last few weeks of seeing a LOT of lay mental models about memory and cognition:

- it is well known in the psychological and cognitive sciences that memory is not like a man-made recording device. Your memory is not a tape recorder, or analogous to computer memory. Nevertheless people will insist on constantly using computer metaphors for memory. Just know this is widely regarded as inaccurate

나 저거 배열식으로 문자열에서 특정 부문 가져오는거 지피티랑 핑퐁하면서 슬라이싱만으론 애매하고 3개씩 문자열 썰어서 새 목록에 집어넣고 그걸 한번에 꺼내오면 될거는 같단 느낌이

오늘의 블친소. @mkcokr.bsky.social 매일경제입니다. 매일경제 양연호 기자는 글로벌 위상, 달라진 K 바이오 (m.mk.co.kr/news/journal...) 라는 기사를 썼습니다. 문제는 브릿지파이오테라퓨틱스(KOSDAQ 288330)을 미리 보유한 채 썼던겁니다. 이런식으로 10개 종목에 대해 호재성 기사를 수백건 온라인에 올리고, 시세차익으로 1년에 40억을 챙겼습니다. 그 나물에 그 밥이라고 파이낸셜뉴스 소속 이진혁 기자 역시 같이 이 짓을 한 것으로 추정되고 있습니다. 한국 경제매체 모럴, 대단하죠?

매일경제 기자, 주식 선행매매로 증선위 고발되자 퇴사 ...
