Chatbots are famous for couching much of their responses in terms of "may," "might," "could," "can," etc. Check out the response to this query--it may surprise you: https://www.google.com/search?q=is+sex+harmful%3F&client=firefox-b-e And can people make absolute statements that are true? There's a saying, "All absolute statements are false, including this one". https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-e&q=can+absolute+statements+be+true%3F It's important to know if answers can be found for every question: https://www.google.com/search?q=can+answers+be+found+for+every+question%3F&client=firefox-b-e So, what does any of the above have to do with BoyLovers, BoyLove, and ''black boxes'' Well, everything, actually. Some things are just too complex to ever be understood. Like how the human brain functions, or why people are sexually turned on by various things. Or why TPKA tyred has not been banned from BoyChat... But will that stop some folks--scientists and other researchers--from spending thousands or millions of dollars in futile attempts to find definitive answers to unanswerable questions? Nope. And so research--and debates--will continue around "the cause" of "pedophilia". Sometimes we feel that we just have to find the answer to certain questions! So we run in circles and dive headlong into bottomless rabbit holes. Can every complex system be explained? https://www.google.com/search?q=Can+every+complex+system+be+explained%3F&client=firefox-b-e Our resources are limited, and are best not wasted. There are so many things that we can spend time and money on that can improve the welfare of others. Why waste our efforts on unanswerable questions? M. Could it be that we're not really as smart as we think we are? Hmm... To understand what is meant by "black boxes" see: Editorial EMBO Rep. 2007 Aug;8(8):705. Doi: 10.1038/sj.embor.7401041 'Too complex to comprehend?' Frank Gannon PMCID: PMC1978074 PMID: 17667997 https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC1978074/ The English mathematician and philosopher Alfred North Whitehead (1861–1947) said, “seek simplicity and distrust it”—a quote I first encountered as an essay title in my final biochemistry exams at university. The fact that it has stuck in my mind might be related to the traumatic circumstances of this experience, but is probably also due to its inherent wisdom. The words resonate with the development of science; practicing scientists seek out simplistic, utilitarian descriptions of reality and distrust them for their simplicity. But, because we know that our descriptions are only approximations, we are able to continue to refine our understanding. Yet, the process is rarely straightforward or predictable, and without a regular critical assessment of our knowledge and without asking new questions, we would remain in an erroneous comfort zone. All research is based on the belief that eventually any puzzle can be solved and any phenomenon comprehended, if only we do the right experiments in a rigorous manner. Time and again, however, we arrive at an impasse where the available techniques are insufficient to discover the next piece of information needed to understand the bigger picture. Sometimes we are simply ignorant of different interpretations or other elements that could help to explain our subject of study; sometimes a total readjustment of the context of the experiments is required. One recent example of this is the role of RNA in controlling gene expression and other processes. We need to reinterpret the diverse functions of RNA to include the observations that RNA molecules play roles that were previously attributed only to proteins. Similarly, we can easily get locked into common images and metaphors of how systems work; thousands of colourful figures showing how bubbles of transcription factors bind to a straight line of DNA have undoubtedly influenced our interpretation of gene expression experiments. In reality, the process is highly dynamic and many important events occur at a distance from the promoter, but it will take time before we are able to fully integrate these results into our thinking or even create suitable methods to illustrate these interactions.[...] CONTINUE READING AT: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC1978074/ [@nonymouse] [Guardster] [Proxify] [Anonymisierungsdienst] |
