Just my thoughts #0759

The medieval church forbade usury and claimed that usurers went to hell. However, as the feudal system of the Middle Ages declined and merchants emerged as an emerging power, usury businesses amassed enormous wealth. Usurers donated their corrupt wealth to monasteries, and when they died, they could be buried there. It was a bonus that the donor usurer could receive the sacrament of confession shortly before death. Fear of the afterlife caused poor churches to accumulate wealth, used to decorate walls or build larger, more elaborate structures, leading to the Renaissance era. The unjust usury business sparked a literary and artistic revival. Let go of the illusion that only good things can change the world for the better or the right. The innocence of ignorance about how the world works makes it easier to accept sin and corrupts the world into evil. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

There is a study called “computational psychiatry”. This study will help patients suffering from depression or hallucinations by studying AI algorithms such as “reinforcement learning” among computer AI functions. Machines are examples of human treatment. Conversely, people wonder if AI-learning humans can be depressed like humans. The answer is “yes”. It is a fact that scientists consider it possible. People thought human emotion was something special. However, emotions can be replaced with symbol combinations promised as signals in the algorithm world. In other words, the emotion on the machine is “selection”. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Social media is a world of algorithms, not a window being shown by content creators. Attention is an asset and a lot of exposure to content is power in this social media. However, regardless of the creators' passion, the opportunity to expose is determined by the algorithm. It proves no one has found the secret to the algorithm's favorable selection, which is why so much YouTube content reveals the secrets. If the correct secret has been revealed, people will stop creating competitive content for it. Secrets increase efficiency, but generalizing the secrets is unavoidable. Without generalization, the market is getting smaller. There will be a threshold below which the profit under the confidentiality of the secret is valid. However, exceeding that threshold creates an inverse relationship between secrecy and profit. Until before that threshold is exceeded, the victims of scammers must be victimized unfortunately, hence don't be fooled by those who brag about their secrets w...
