The question is, why do we express opinion on subject matter we are ignorant in.
Our ignorance is so profound we are oftentimes ignorant of it itself.
but the previous work isn't really getting trashed, is it?
That's what it feels like, and that's why people initially have a strong emotional reaction to it. The various levels of the brain are all operating simultaneously -- the 'fight-or-flight' part and the higher-level cognitive part. We continue to have emotional, child-like reactions, but our higher-level cognitive functioning arrests and overrides such reactions.
sounds like they don't trust their employees
Yeah -- you think there aren't attempts to infiltrate them left and right? How dumb and naive would they be if they *did* trust their employees? Would you want to turn over documents to them if the person to whom you did turned out to be a secret agent?
Or maybe they're just going to happen upon trustworthy employee by an extensive screening process and three rounds of interviews.
which is utterly useless since people will typically under-estimate their calorie intake by 20-60%
Wouldn't this be corrected by randomization? Or is it only overweight people who under-report intake and over-report expenditure?
In other words, suppose I had a hypothesis that redheads were 10-15 pounds lighter than the average person. I could do a survey, but I know that everybody under-reports their weight. However, since redheads under-report just as much as everybody else, it all comes out in the wash -- unless *only* redheads *or* everybody else under-reports their weight.
So if everybody is under-estimating intake and over-estimate expenditure, it wouldn't make a different because both groups. In other words, there's error but not necessarily bias.
But then they will need maintenance workers for those robots
But wouldn't the net effect anyway be less demand for human labor? I mean, isn't that the point of making robot/machine anythings? If all we're doing is build robots so we can do a new job for a while, why bother? Instead, aren't we building machines so that we have to work less? And with an Earth that's gaining people, isn't this going to be a problem?
That's why people buy the idea that the coating was what actually exploded.
Only through hard work and perseverance can one truly suffer.
