I am under the impression that's coal.

Oil is from sea life. Though I did read that in the 80s so entirely possible its nonsense.

As a male therapist I have to be so careful with this.

Even clients who totally trust me have reported that little voice that's learned to be suspicious of men gets a bit worried by physical contact. Taking into account that I don't ever initiate hugs or any kind of touch, that says a lot about the dangers to both parties.

Georgie says of the main deflector it's the only thing they have that can emit that kind of power at controlled frequencies.

Are they confident they can come home or are they stuck?

Title writer doesn't trust Boeing it seems.

Speaking as someone whose professional life depends on an understanding of human thoughts, feelings and sensations, I can't help but have an opinion on this.

To offer an illustrative example

When I'm writing feedback for my students, which is a repetitive task with individual elements, it's original and different every time.

And yet, anyone reading it would soon learn to recognise my style same as they could learn to recognise someone else's or how many people have learned to spot text written by AI already.

I think it's fair to say that this is because we do have a similar system for creating text especially in response to a given prompt, just like these things called AI. This is why people who read a lot develop their writing skills and style.

But, really significant, that's not all I have. There's so much more than that going on in a person.

So you're both right in a way I'd say. This is how humans develop their individual style of expression, through data collection and stochastic methods, happening outside of awareness. As you suggest, just because humans can do this doesn't mean the two structures are the same.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

He wants to be a meme so much, it'll be in the manifesto

 
 

The internet has made a lot of people armchair experts happy to offer their perspective with a degree of certainty, without doing the work to identify gaps in their knowledge. Often the mark of genuine expertise is knowing the limitations of your knowledge.

This isn't a social media thing exclusively of course, I've met it in the real world too.

When I worked as a repair technician, members of the public would ask me for my diagnosis of faults and then debate them with me.

I've dedicated the second half of my life to understanding people and how they work, in this field it's even worse because everyone has opinions on that topic!

And yet my friend who has a physics PhD doesn't endure people explaining why his theories about battery tech are incorrect because of an article they read or an anecdote from someone's past.

So I'm curious, do some fields experience this more than others?

If you have a field of expertise do you find people love to debate you without taking into account the gulf of awareness, skills and knowledge?
