Yeah sucks doesn't it. I'm a friendly out going person. But I just can't do pubs or bars or clubs because the noise just overwhelms me and I become a jibbering idiot. Sad times

I disagree. Introversion at it's core is about sensitivity to over stimulation. This sensitivity to over stimulation is not something that you can control, it's baked into the biology, into the neural connectivity of the brain.

This means that something that is not very stimulating to you, can be practically overwhelming to me.

It's not insecurity, it's not emotional issues. It's biology.

And turning it into something that sensitive people should be able to overcome - turning it into a personal failing is not helpful.

I don't think this is true. Your brain is probably quite different to mine and to your neighbors. Brains are different to each other.

My brain is easily overwhelmed, it's highly sensitive. This means I cannot respond fluidly in stressful situations.

Having a highly sensitive nervous system means that you can pick up on subtle detail easily. But it also means that too much stimulation really effects your ability to process.

This sensitivity is a deep trait, it's down in the biology. You can't think your way out of it, you can't overcome it. It's a deep deep part of a person and someone without sensitivity can have a hard time understanding what it is like - and this is where your answer comes from.

You do not understand what it is like to live with high sensitivity. It is both a blessing and a curse.

I am highly sensitive. This means I am highly emotional, highly creative, very intuitive - I read people easily. But it also means I can't endure busy environments: crowds, large meetings, rock concerts, sporting events. Not without consequences: confusion, tiredness, stress, etc.

We are different creatures, you and I. But that does not make us better or worse, just different, that's all. We should learn to respect each other for our shortcomings and our strengths.

Second that, without an electric screwdriver with alan key attachments. Without it packed furniture is a serious pita. With it you feel like an unstoppable cyborg.

But you see the process of training is a solution of the problem "how to program AI". For a machine to be intelligent it has to form it's own model of the world. This model is necessarily somewhat opaque because it includes representations which the machine has created for itself.

An intelligent machine that is interpretable in a straightforward manner is an impossibility, it is a contradiction in terms.

You can teach the machine to answer questions about it's internal state in order to analyse it's function or you can apply your own mind to painstakingly deduce it's operation. But I contend you cannot have a generalised rubric for determining it's operation.

If China did this what would you think the reasons would be? Of course it would be to spy on their citizens, to exert social control.

What makes us think the US is so different after the stuff that's gone down in recent years?

I genuinely consider it a possibility that this is linked to the panic over terrorism and that governments now have access to the data being hoovered up on practically everyone by Microsoft.

Of course I have no evidence. So the best that can be said objectively is that we cannot know either way, but still my gut is sending me warning messages.

I'd also argue that it is possible for cultural bias and injected money to suppress truth over longer time scales - generations.

We are taught to idolise the military because it makes questioning the motives of government and the purpose of war difficult.

Yes, but with a small twist on what you are saying: Depression lies at the intersection of the external world and the internal. It's influenced both by it's contact with the external world and by the content of our thoughts.

It can be caused both by external factors and our internal mental life.

"if the funded research is bad then it won't survive for long" that is not necessarily true.
