Like honestly tho, idt people are gonna care about the metrics from a service that is hostile to them. If someone is getting jerked around when trying to cancel why would they be considerate?

Feels like an empty gesture. People who aren't nice already won't care?

Is the lesson that other people will still find a use for me and eat me?

The boulder is teaching you the inevitability of death and making you aware of your own mortality. Look no one said they had to be nice lessons!

Oh. That would make a hell of a lot more sense, although the way it sounds is weird for addressing yourself (specifically the nobody could really mean that part). But right context would suggest it is meant to be internal, or at least the blog writer is suggesting using it on oneself.

In that sense it does make sense to explore what the things you think about your own beliefs really do mean. Feel a bit silly now haha

No it isn't. She said to take it literally. Not to assume that no one could possibly mean that. Which, to be fair, one shouldn't just assume but double check perhaps but that was not the suggestion made.

What a baffling take. When on the receiving end of communication you want to figure out what someone means. Sometimes this means considering if someone could really mean something and then clarifying it with them to be sure. Instantly taking things literally only works with some people and even then they might have a different conception of what a word means. What really matters is the idea someone is trying to convey and sometimes people are not great at that which requires work on the receiving end

Eh. Physically it pretty much is an arrow. Things might feel the same but being literally the exact same doesn't seem supported. Even given infinite time that doesn't mean the exact same things will occur, there are after all an infinite amount of different possibilities, you won't exhaust them and need to repeat.

With respect to how we experience things you can certainly talk about repeating cycles, but a sine wave feels like a more appropriate comparison. A lot of this sameness seems subjective in nature, how we interpret events.

Free housing! Free food! Life sentence!

Wait no, I'm not so sure now...

Well, the thing here is you just started talking about it being able to tell why there are more arrests in one area than another. That seems like a hell of a lot more complicated than the prior task of just finding the area where they report the most incidents. Time spent alone isn't a sufficient indicator really, is it? Its a factor and something that can skew the data but you can't just directly decide its the cause from the time spent there data being added in

This assumes the prior data was done without bias firstly. If they are currently overfocusing on one area due to some bias the algorithm will have that baked in due to the data it is given to work with. Secondly, that seems like it would be prone to a feedback loop. More police focus could itself be a reason for more incidents. As was pointed out in the article, similar crimes in a strongly policed area would be more likely to be caught. This would increase numbers in that area and make it look like that area needs more attention, not because there is more crime but because there is more crime already noticed.

Some people care anyways and can't just turn it off. I would guess most people in fact who don't already think like this can't just snap to that

I'd also say it isn't the best advice. So practicalities aside, when it comes to being a good person sometimes you should care. Sometimes you should ask yourself if they have a point. And you don't have to agree with them, but you should think about it sometimes in case you do
