>>355257 Well, she's technically not my professor, but she teaches cognition and some other stuff. I'm her lead research assistant.

>>355260 By the way you describe it, you are actually doing useful stuff. Congrats on all that!
Kirara 🕎
Thanks!
The critical thinking stuff is just something we kind of stumbled on through conversation, but we ended up talking about it for like an hour and a half. We had to part ways because she has to go home to her son and I'm on two hours of sleep, so we'll talk about it more after reflecting on it soon. I think we're onto something, though, and we'll be able to work out methodology to test it if so.
Koi-
>>355258 no. And if it did, I wouldn't tell anyone.
>>355262 Holy moly actual science and philosophy and shit on the making. Tell more.
Kirara 🕎
>>355266 Yeah, sure. I think you'd probably have some good insight into it, too.
>>355269 I can't really talk about the theory we started working on here! It's just about the development of critical thinking and how to foster it in people. I want to say but I really shouldn't.
I'm going to sell your theory to competing universities
Anno
>>355272 tbh you'd probably have to pay other universities to take the time to read whatever you want to put out there not to mention probably paying to publish it before they'd even consider it
Kirara 🕎
yeah it won't be worth looking at until we have something to show for it
at most other researchers would show interest in it but probably not too many because it sounds like it's really going against the status quo
Kirara 🕎
we also started planning a cognition course for the professor to teach the grad program and i got my assistantship position renewed like a year early
Anno
even if i remembered my appointment was today, there's no way i would have been able to make it there it's an hour and a half away and my back is in too bad of shape to be driving i can't even sit to work for more than 20 minues at a time >>355275 a course on cognition sounds really interesting but also sounds like the kind of thing that i would be hoping is way more developed and thorough than it actually might be i haven't taken graduate courses in psych so maybe it's a lot better than i'm imagining i just know i look at books and literature on stuff like that and it's like wow it's fucking nothing yuno what i mean
i think it probably wouldn't be as good as you'd like this year but maybe in a year or two when we've implemented our plans this professor and I basically want to remake the whole program in a way that better promotes competency and has less emphasis on tests and shit
Anno
yeah it was today at 11 i thought it was next week idk it'll probably be fine >>355278 i read some literature from a cognitive researcher at MIT who was focused on AI stuff and i thought wow this will probably be cool and it was just talking about feeding data into ML until it could produce art based off its learning feed and i'm like wow that's really not novel or interesting at all, high school students are doing that with music and putting it on youtube it's not even clever
Kirara 🕎
>>355279 the professor i work under is into AI and stuff, she's an engineer turned cognitive researcher that wants to learn about robot psychology and stuff like that we do a lot of human factors stuff a lot of human-tech interaction stuff she's pretty good too, she almost worked at apple and google straight after getting her doctorate and she gets to go to all those google elite tech conferences and stuff
ToN
>>355278 oh yeah i used her in shadowverse shes pretty cute in fate huh
Anno
>>355280 i'm not sure i'd want to work at apple or google anymore oracle's probably the place to be they put on some good conferences too
Kirara 🕎
>>355282 yeah, she turned those offers down because they wouldn't let her travel and she didn't want to live in silicon valley lok lol*

Two hours is a really unacceptable number, even by my standards.
Kirara 🕎
>>355355 Well, I was going to go to bed when you did, but it didn't really work out. I'm going to get at least six hours tonight. I didn't think I'd be able to function so flawlessly on two hours of sleep, but I showed myself wrong.

>>355356 That's right, I went to sleep speciically so you would, and you didn't!
Kirara 🕎
>>355359 I tried to, but the room was really bright for some reason. I couldn't sleep. I ended up sleeping with a pillow over my head so it would be dark enough.
Yuu
Why didn't you turn the lights out?
Kirara 🕎
>>355361 I said for some reason because I don't know where the light was coming from or why it was there. It's usually pitch black when the lights are out, but there was a blue glow shining in from outside.
>>355367 What I have is usually fine! I might invest in some, though.
Yuu
>>355368 I have a few gadgets that glow a little in my room. It's a bit annoying.

The coffee machine at work has been out of milk for the past two days. I can't get my daily dose.

Yuu
>>355371 I like darkness but I can sleep in whatever.

I'll probably sleep well tonight. I'm going to go to bed in about an hour or so. So you'd better get your fill of Kirara before he's gone!
By the way, we got two or three new posters today.
Anno
i get disoriented without light when i'm sleeping i like to leave some candles going light feels warm if it's a low hue
Yuu
>>355373 We got new posters, huh? I saw some reports on NEW POSTER but I figured it was just memes. Where did they come from?
Kirara 🕎
>>355375 I dunno. Some static board somewhere. NEW POSTER seems fine but they're still doing that new poster there where they act really pleasant. They seem pleasant to me for now, though. I think they want to go by Digi or something because they like Digimon and want Digi in their trip code? One was anon and the other, I didn't get a good read on since I was busy while they were around/
>>355374 I used to be able to sleep with light, but not anymore.
Yuu
That's neat. I hope I get a chance to inspect them soon.
Kirara 🕎
>>355377 Well, we'll see what happens. They're kind of a normie, though. They're not really into anime. They first thing they asked was if non-weebs were allowed here. They're probably a prude, too.
Anno
i don't know where i am if i don't have a light on when i wake up in the middle of the night it's not totally unpleasant but it is disorienting to think i'm in a different room or different house than i am actually in

it's got a string i don't really know much more than that these are old as heck though i was transcribing files for the moth and some lady was talking about how she got one when she was fleeing from yugoslavia as a child and it was the only toy she had i had to check it out because of that haha

>>355402 He has much more typical autism than me so he's often antisocial for reasons no one else will ever know.
!gSd/DIGI/6
>>355406 Autistic, huh? How odd. I thought autistic people craved for people.
>>355405 So how are things around here? Getting active?
>>355408 I do because she needs help. My sis isn't like your sis, mine is somewhat nice.
Anno
I dunno I wouldn't oblige on anything for one of my sisters. That would only open her up to more and more arrogant demands. She's a pretty horrible person.
Kirara 🕎
Oh, that reminds me. That client that might get transferred to me is a male with autism. He has trouble with female therapists because he starts trying to please them.
>>355407 This is the activest time of the day! I'm going to bed soon, though.
FormerRei@mobile
>>355407 >I thought autistic people craved for people Dude what?
Yuu
>>355409 Oh, I guess you don't have to worry about a pervert then. That's surprisingly boring. I was expecting an amusing situation.
>>355410 Yeah. Like, don't autistic people fewel alone because they can't interact with anyone due to social retardation?
Kirara 🕎
>>355411 Isn't it really great? It's rare that something so boring happens.
>>355413 I don't think it's pathetic or anything. He's trying his hardest.
!gSd/DIGI/6
>>355414 I'll never understand autism honestly. There are certain things that people shoul or shouldn't know when interacting with others. I guess I don't get it because autism manifests in different ways for different people. For example I get pretty autistic when it comes to creative creation, giving reviews of ANYTHING or Digimon. Specially Digimon.
FormerRei@mobile
>I'll never understand autism t. guy who is still into Digimon
Kirara 🕎
>>355415 An easy way to think about autism is to think about it in terms the biological differences in the brain between an autistic person and a neurotypical person. Autistic brains grow at a faster rate than NT brain during early development and then certain areas lag behind what's typical. One of these areas is the fusiform facial gyrus, which is one of the reasons autistic people have trouble connecting with others. Their brain doesn't recognize other human faces in the same way that an NT brain does.
Anno
>>355390 wasn't sad at all it was a really cool story they bought it for her at a singapore airport which she was saying was so cool because they didn't have all sorts of neat consumerism there
>>355417 But, if they are fully aware that they aren't doing something right, shouldn't they try to pinpoint exactly what is right? I don't get how someone who has been diagnosed as autistic doesn't knows how to combat it. It's not like depression or something else. Or maybe I'm seeing it wrong? What do you think is the answer to that?
FormerRei@mobile
>>355426 If we think of the brain as a computer The conscious mind is software And the brain is the hardware Autistic people have different hardware This makes some things really difficult for them
Yuu
>>355423 I was expecting something amusing! Not something mundane.
!gSd/DIGI/6
>>355424 >Not killing people over Digimon >Not doing anything ever in order to make Digimon Great Again All those new PS4 games coming? All me. Sadly I have no PS4 to even play them.
Kirara 🕎
>>355426 Well, let's say there's a shelf that you want to reach but it's too high for you. You know what the problem is, but you can't just make yourself taller in order to reach it, right? It's like that.
Many autistic people have really difficult lives because of these built-in deficits.
>>355428 I hope you'll forgive my Stand for not entertaining you.
!gSd/DIGI/6
>>355427 I guess that makes sense. I just don't know how you wouldn't be able to deal with something like autism if you are fully self-aware. Unless being autistic makes you be not self-aware at all, then that makes all the sense. Does autism do that?
>>355430 You can get a table or something to reach the item. Just in the same way autistic people could get REALLY autistic to , I dunno... Watch all conversations done in docummentaries or among their peers or something? I have nop idea. Too complex for me.
Kirara 🕎
>>355431 And that's how we help autistic people. We're giving them skills that are like a table that allows you to reach the item. If there's no table or something to stand on, you can't reach it, but if someone helps you get something to stand on, you're good. Due to the nature of the deficits autistic people generally have, just watching other conversations is difficult for them to learn from. Their brains aren't interpreting human interaction in the same way that neurotypical brains do. The processing is completely different. Of course, there are varying degrees of autism and how much it impacts your life. My girlfriend is autistic, for example, but people talking to her often can't tell.

Now I feel kinda bad and uneasy to post.
Kirara 🕎
>>355437 I'm not really that intelligent. I live my life doing one stupid thing after another. I just happen to be working on my doctorate while I do dumb shit. Working on my doctorate is one of the dumb things I do, too. /moe/ has a lot of people from all walks of life with different knowledge bases and everyone is generally intelligent in some way or another. You shouldn't feel bad or uneasy posting. I'm sure you're knowledgeable about something, too. And if not, /moe/ is about having fun, not brain contests, anyway.
>>355438 I guess I can try. I just can't help comparing myself to others. Specially if they are THIS smart.

I just had this realization that national identity must be completely different in a lot of other parts of the US, specifically because of their state A lot of Texans identify as Texans first and Americans second This Trump thing must be so much more serious for people in states with much smaller identities

How do ya mean? Like people who identify more as American than their own state think he's better, since he's big on their particular identity as Americans?
unlimited bangarang
No, I mean like If you're a Texan first, then the happenings of America as a whole are kind of secondary. People who live in states that are much smaller or less important economically or politically have a lot more of their identity as citizens resting on the nation as a whole. As long as Texas is doing fine as a whole, we can still be proud of it.

I imagine Californians can somewhat relate, as might New Yorkers or some from other states. Maybe New Yorkers a bit less, since they're often seen as somewhat representative of the U.S. in the media.
