“red button”/”green button”…
Black or white.
With us or against us.
Willing to “save the world” (or destroy it, just the same...), megalomaniac delusion.
What is your real business you should care about?
And please if anyone delete this comment have the courtesy to mail me the reason why.
It already happened twice for some comments of mine which, surprise, surprise, weren’t too favorable to the singularitarian ideas.
Is there some “bias” at work here, some double standard?
Or is it just because under the guise of the “noble cause” of rationality this is just a propaganda site for the singularity?
Personally, I think it is because, in this post, all you are really saying is: “Who cares? Whether I press red button or the green button is irrelevant.”. This opinion is completely disregarding the topic, the topic being, rather, the psychology of one’s opinion of others’ and one’s own actions.
This article is saying, in essence, one believes one’s own actions are perfectly normal due to one’s natural subjective sympathy of one’s self, due to false consensus, due to extenuating circumstances, or any other reason, and that one’s actions cannot, in any way, be credited due to innate personality traits.
However, on the other hand, one, unable to ascertain the single one of many possible circumstances that may have befallen another individual, automatically assumes that others’ actions are due to innate personality traits, for lack of further information.
This discussion is not, in any way, about the point or pointlessness of the example presented in order to aid in the further understanding of correspondence bias.
Therefore, your post is completely irrelevant to the topic at hand and contribute nothing to the discussion. That is, most likely, why people keep down-voting your posts.
The author of the comment you’re replying to hasn’t posted to the site in about five years, so it’s rather unlikely that he’s going to receive your reply.

Nope—I imagine it’s because some of your comments are snarky and don’t actually add anything to the discussion.
