@glyph
I hear you.

My favourite (perhaps less jarring?) example is when a court declares they have found someone guilty, and that their threshold of guilt is "on balance of odds".

I look at the lawyers and the witnesses and realise that none of them has studied actuarial or probability mathematics. I wouldn't even trust them to understand a bet on the horses. For a scientist to watch them is like observing a cargo cult. Worse, I am sure, is for a scientist to find themselves on the receiving end of such a court.

I would offer the meagre consolation that you can see the feedback loops that drive them to behave so, where they think themselves to have free will.

If you do interesting things in the #DistributedSystems space that aren't predicated on market-based solutionism, I would love to come write #Rust & #JavaScript apps or work on #SystemsArchitecture and infrastructure with you. I also do pretty decent #CareWork and #CommunityManagement in teams which aspire to be human-centered.

I'm especially interested in roles within organizations lead by #queer and #FirstNations peoples and #anarchist groups doing #MutualAid efforts.
