RE: Healing from the StockHolme's Syndrome = Dunning-Kruger effect / using Neural Plastisity of the brain.
There seems to be a conundrum in the philosophy to me. The Dunning-Kruger effect says that beliefs and opinions do not make facts, but wouldn't you have to believe the effect has factual basis for that to be your opinion? It feels like a breakdown in logic, like saying "I never tell the truth", there is some circularity there that seems self defeating no?
It's a very interesting concept though, very much like the Taoist religion, I'll check it out more for sure.
It is the difference between fact and perception. Like that fact that everything is in motions and vibrating at its own frequency, but we perceive that things are at rest. Which is the truth. Is everything actually in motion. If so then the perception that things are at rest is a false perception. If things are really at rest than the fact that things are vibrating is a false fact. They cannot both be correct. Thus object appearing to be at rest is a false objective perception. The perception that some people are smarter than others is also an objective perception that is false. You don't have what you have and that is it, because how the brain actually works. Neural plasticity proves that the truth is that at any time a person can choose to change how their brain works. Thus the perception of static intelligence is a false perception. Smarter or of lower ability is also a irrational perception because the perception is based on the act and not the cognition of the person. Wrong data forms wrong interpretation.
This is definitely an interesting concept. It does run contrary to what Peterson and Molyneux are pushing as far as IQ goes. That's the school of thought I'm most familiar with but it does leave little room for improvement and that tends to rob people of hope when they want to better themselves.
Does neural plasticity rely on chemical help and some outside force or is it a matter of training oneself?
Did you notice that I supplied some links to data on the subject of meditation, genetics being changed by certain metal exercises. The truth is that it is a matter of choosing self examination for the purpose of self improvement that leads to the improvement. In truth desire and effort are more important.
"It does run contrary to what Peterson and Molyneux are pushing as far as IQ goes."
The first thing I thought of when reading the above quote is the difference between where people are and what their potential is, isn't actually the same discussion. However I.Q and the testing of it is so riddled with problems that it is hard to think that people are giving such credence to the ideas.
I.Q testing is taking peoples action and using the rational of the test maker to determine the intelligence of the person in question. Exactly what I have determined the Dunning-Kruger effect is actually describing. That acts are the facts and the cognition is not visible to test. Thus the conclusion about the subject is based in irrational thinking. Taking the facts and forming a false perception. Perception and facts are not the same thing.
"Does neural plasticity rely on chemical help and some outside force or is it a matter of training oneself?"
Desire and effort create the chemicals naturally in the brain. We may in the future find some compound that does this faster. However the formation of a habit and the practice of that habit until it becomes a motor reflex function is where the most improvement is measured. Around three weeks of effort and new neurons and neural pathways can be detected and associated with the new habit.
I did but see the bit about meditation but I was looking for shortcuts ;). It does seem like an either or scenario with IQ testing and the idea that it can only be changed a few degrees by practice and training then. I'll be keeping an open mind to the idea of NP and follow along with the research you present. I genuinely want to believe in this concept much more compared to what I have heard previous about the subject.
I don't believe nor disbelieve. I create advantageous perceptions based on the facts. Belief or disbelief only creates blocks that prevent advantageous perceptions. Real hard to manifest that way.
You may be on the path of denying the emotions that make you human my friend. It is good to step back and evaluate reality but to go into the realm of all things being relative could detach you from those who do not wish to embark on the pilgrimage with you sir.
Those who care about you will be trying to keep you more grounded in the next few weeks, do not stray to far to fast from us that we can't fully grasp this new enlightenment you are bringing to the table.
In short please slow down your vernacular expansion upon this conversational lexicon, we are not keeping well.....
