It is easier for people to simply obey the rules rather than understand the intent expressed by the rule’s existence. More difficult still is to understand the need for the rules in the first place.

I’m using “rules” here to stand in for a rather wide category of artifacts: instructions, methods, algorithms, legal structures, moral guidelines, etc.

People have a need for rules, in order to account for the past and (re)design the future.

I prompted Claude with this: “Write about the memorization of convention masquerading as the acquisition of expertise.”

It responded thus:

Not too bad really. I remain unconvinced the domain transfer is as simple and reliable as implied…

“At some point, then, it may become nearly impossible for pastors who are not fully on board with MAGA to look away, to stall for more time, to let others do the heavy lifting, or to tell themselves that things aren’t so bad, that silence is golden. A healthy church culture, like a healthy family culture, brings things into the open. It doesn’t avoid or close off conversations.”

Here’s a direct link to the Atlantic article:
The Evangelicals Who See Trump’s Viciousness as a Virtue

This piece is a good thing, in that the conversations initiated require coming to specifics on many points that folks lately seem to want to keep swishy. Often very basic stuff, “Do you believe that some things are true irrespective of human knowledge or opinion about those things? Is having knowledge different than having opinions? Is it possible for humans to make these kinds of distinctions?”

Where’s the Klout for retail AI? I mean, shouldn’t someone be doing meta-, aggregator, “all your AI is belong to us”, type stuff. Or is everyone pretty sure it would just churn out supraslop?

You know those kind of questions that are just so interesting to ponder that it is a bit disappointing when you learn the actual answer? Thursdays are an example of this.
