Sejarah Berorientasi Budaya – Robin Hanson – Beragampengetahuan
Saya sudah sering bepergian selama enam minggu; masih ada satu minggu lagi, dan kemudian saya akan pulang sebentar. Selama waktu itu saya memberikan sejumlah presentasi, termasuk dua tentang penyimpangan budaya (akan terbit), sebuah topik yang terus saya baca dan pikirkan. Saat ini aku merasa sedikit keluar dari elemenku dalam menulis, dan aku mencoba memikirkan cara […]
Pasar Juri Meta – Oleh Robin Hanson – Beragampengetahuan
Sebuah “juri” hukum yang khas terdiri dari dua belas warga negara anonim yang secara pasif mendengarkan informasi terkait dengan keputusan tersebut tanpa pengaruh luar, berbicara tatap muka selama berjam-jam hingga berhari-hari, dan kemudian membuat keputusan biner mengenai isu-isu yang relevan tidak ada motif yang jelas. Namun sekarang mari kita menggeneralisasikan konsep “juri” ini kepada kelompok […]
What Exactly Is “Magic”? – by Robin Hanson – Beragampengetahuan
Magic: having or apparently having supernatural powers; wonderful, exciting. As a physicist, it has long seemed strange to me that some real processes are seen as “supernatural”. I get calling stuff humans have little impact on “natural”, and the rest “artificial”, but what else could “natural” mean? And why are stories and religion so obsessed with […]
I Fear Maladaptive Culture – by Robin Hanson – Beragampengetahuan
I’ve been reading, thinking, and talking, trying to get clearer on what exactly are the culture problems I’m worried about, and how best to describe them. I seek descriptions not only easy for an outsider public to understand, but also for prestigious insider specialists to embrace. It seems “maladaptive culture” might be a better name […]
Youth Drive Cultural Drift – by Robin Hanson – Beragampengetahuan
Young people are literally wired to challenge the status quo, to think outside the box. (more) Strategy that an evolution could follow, would be to create a vehicle that reliably tended to start believing that the old power-structure was corrupt, and that the good of the whole tribe required their overthrow… young revolutionary’s belief is […]
On Culture Talk – by Robin Hanson – Beragampengetahuan
I haven’t been posting so much lately, as I’ve reading & thinking a lot about culture; hope to say lots more soon. In my readings, I’ve been frustrated by the quite different ways the word “culture” gets used. It gets used differently in cultural evolution science, in corporate culture consulting, in travel and marketing talk, […]
The Mystery of Order – by Robin Hanson – Beragampengetahuan
In the ancient world, people tended to see rival nations as ruled by illicit tyrants, while their nation was ruled justly by a king. Two centuries ago when religion was first declining, many predicted that crime would greatly increase as a result. It was mainly fear of God, they said, that kept most from committing […]
Libertarianism As Deep Multiculturalism – by Robin Hanson – Beragampengetahuan
A shallow “multiculturalism” tolerates and even celebrates diverse cultural markers, such as clothes, food, music, myths, art, furniture, accents, holidays, and dieties. But it is usually also far less tolerant of diverse cultural values, such as re war, sex, race, fertility, marriage, work, children, nature, death, medicine, school, etc. It seeks a “mutual understanding” that […]
Polymaths Are Late Bloomers – by Robin Hanson – Beragampengetahuan
There is a big literature on the ages at which intellectuals peak in life. The rate of publishing papers peaks about tenure time. Physical sciences peak earlier than social sciences. And per paper, each one has an equal chance to be a person’s best paper, regardless of at what age it was written. Being a […]
Elite-Only Financial Markets – by Robin Hanson – Beragampengetahuan
Prediction markets are financial markets, but compared to typical financial markets they are intended more to aggregate info than to hedge risks. Thus we can use our general understanding of financial markets to understand prediction markets, and can also try to apply whatever we learn about prediction markets to financial markets more generally. With this […]
