Note the misspelled first name.
Vivian Westwood?
Blondie?
And then Cyberpunk,right?
>Goodheart's Law states that "when a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure." In the context of the flies' behavior, the pursuit of the dopamine reward can be seen as the "target." Initially, the reward-encoding dopaminergic neurons serve as a "measure" to promote survival by encouraging reward-seeking behavior. However, when the flies prioritize the pursuit of the dopamine reward above all else, neglecting essential needs and enduring punishment, the neurons' function as a beneficial measure is compromised. This reflects Goodheart's Law, as the pursuit of the reward becomes the sole target, leading to detrimental behavior and neglect of other crucial survival aspects.
Thinking about it, he/she/it is about right.
p.s.
And no, I am not making fun of you, I am doing field studies.
For fun.
Goodhart's law, it's everywhere...
To quote Nietzsche simply out of context, "many too many are already born", so no need to copy 'n' paste them.
But I would like to study the data of those that talk to the copies not just for fun.
Whatever this particular "I" is, does it have "free will"?
Friedrich Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil
"Not to be born at all
Is best, far best that can befall,
Next best, when born, with least delay
To trace the backward way.
For when youth passes with its giddy train,
Troubles on troubles follow, toils on toils,
Pain, pain forever pain;
And none escapes life's coils.
Envy, sedition, strife,
Carnage and war, make up the tale of life."
Sophocles, Oedipus at Colonus
Nonetheless, I sense a certain bias in the living for their existence. Probably an evolutionary advantage over the dead.
I also read the patient files and talked to the patients. You have quite a close relationship with people you care for professionally on average three times a week for 4-5 hours over years. You know them quite well after some time.
But, you can't base health care decisions on anecdota, can't you? But, I found that the statistics corresponded to my observations. People are peole.
Of course, not everyone who is overweight gets kidney failure, and not everyone with kidney failure has it because of their lifestyle.
There are chains of probabilities that add up. That's a no-brainer. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronic_kidney_disease#Causes
A:Based on the information provided in the text, if someone suddenly loses their head, the immediate action that can be taken is to encircle the head just above the ears and eyebrows with a tie, shoelaces, or a piece of string and tie it tight. Then, insert a pen, pencil, or stick into the loop and rotate it so that the tourniquet exerts pressure on the arteries. This can help control bleeding and potentially save the person's life.
No doubt, it was fine-tuned with Monty Python.
'Tis but a scratch.
In 2020 I probably grew the most expensive San Marzano tomatoes worldwide. The amount of work, water and fertilizer I sacrificed for 16kg of the finest dried tomatoes i ever ate is ridiculous. But then again, family and friends still talk about it. The only vegetable in my little garden of about 350 square yards I could ever break even, beside the usual suspects of different herbs, were Musquée de Provence pumpkins. A compost heap and a lot of water is all they need. But then again I still have a few kilo of them in the freezer from last year and to be honest I can't stand them anymore. Fed up, so to say.
The first sentence is plainly wrong. All its three statements/implications. ("sounds like"; the depression diagnosis; "depressed person would say")
The second and third sentence are correct.
Good news, you won't face the time after.
