Respect For Your Elders How do you get someone's fullest attention, guaranteed, unfailingly, every time? By offending them. What do you do with said complete attention? Use it to deliver a piece - not a large piece, as attention spans are limited - of information. This limited-length message of transmitted data now has the highest chance of being received. Communication depends more on the receiver than the transmitter. A target with limited vocabulary can only potentially comprehend a limited amount. The more words effectively used to describe a subject contain the highest potential of detail that may be transferred. That is why successful languages contain the highest number of descriptors in their lexicon. Dead languages are such because of the unsuitability of their mechanics in communicating complex ideas. Desired effects dictate the level of intricacy that a particular set of data includes. Having too much information when a choice is made can skew the efficiency or cause the desired outcome to fail. Too many choices can lead to no choice being made by the time it is necessary to do so. Notice here the situations that this applies to. When, for instance, does the sender of information desire to control the received amount of data? Why? How many times historically have leaders been recorded as having the benefit of the largest group possible as their highest priority? What makes you think this? Where did you obtain the information used in this decision? Can you explain to another the difference between facts and opinions? Can you program this into an AI engine? All things are describable with enough yes/no questions. How long is your attention span? Why? At what point in your decision making do you cease verifying the facts you are using? Is this how new discoveries in worldwide knowledge base are made? What advances our understanding of objective reality? Can you describe to another the difference between subjective and objective reality? Can you program this into an AI engine? Is there anything that cannot be programmed into a system that utilizes previous data to make decisions concerning the present and extrapolated future potential? Explain, in the fullest extent your vocabulary allows. Who finds it beneficial to be unable to interpret data beyond the most basic and elementary level of description? Who finds it beneficial to have the least number of possible communicators of detailed information with the shortest possible attention spans most abundant on the planet? Why? Do you ever rely on information transmitted by anyone identified in the previous answer and use it in your decision making as unchecked facts? Why? What have historically been the subjective and objective results from doing so? Have you been able to read this long enough to get to this question? Would it have been easier to do so if you had been offended by an unrelated inserted line halfway through, or repeated unrelated to these topics and each other offensive statements made at frequent intervals? How much of your time alive percentage wise have you spent concerned for yourself subjectively? Objectively? How much of your time alive have you spent concerned for anything besides yourself both subjectively and objectively? Who or what could be offended by your answers to the previous four questions? How will you decide to use this information? Will you inform anyone whose transmissions you use as personally unverified facts? Why? What are the benefits of such an action? Who or what could be offended by your answer to the previous question? When is this planned outcome desirable? Your grandmother is one of the most satisfying sexual partners I've ever had, by the way - both of them. I highly and emphatically encourage you to independently verify this fact. Good morning BlueSky!
