⟨whitequark⟩ egg: not inherently, but you could definitely use sorcery in aviation
<queqiao->
⟨whitequark⟩ to do things that are ordinarily considered impossible, yes?
<egg|anbo|egg>
ah is « ordinarily considered impossible » the key aspect ? I thought it was the « practical applications of cognitive changes » thing
<queqiao->
⟨egg|matrix|egg⟩ whitequark: back to the eggs, I guess my question is whether the usefulness of eggs applies to other things that similarly require learning things to a sub-conscious level (aviation was the example that came to mind, but cycling, writing, etc.; though for those it may be harder to find useful studies than for learning to fly, illiterate control arms seem like a bad idea)
<queqiao->
⟨whitequark⟩ re key aspect: those are kind of the same
<queqiao->
⟨whitequark⟩ if you can learn to do things the ordinary way, you normally don't have an incentive to do it through metacognition, yes?
<queqiao->
⟨whitequark⟩ for example, if you could learn to work around cPTSD or ADHD in normal, straightforward ways, everyone would be doing that!
<queqiao->
⟨egg|matrix|egg⟩ I don’t really understand what you mean by the ordinary way
<queqiao->
⟨whitequark⟩ for example, if Catherine has a cPTSD flashback, i can just wipe it. like hitting a reset button
<queqiao->
⟨whitequark⟩ in a few seconds, it's gone
<queqiao->
⟨whitequark⟩ or, say, ADHD. we can construct a mindstate that, from talking to others, is equivalent in subjective perception to taking stimulants
<queqiao->
⟨whitequark⟩ without actually taking any stimulants
<queqiao->
⟨whitequark⟩ now, do you think that would be useful as advice for an average person with those conditions?
<queqiao->
⟨egg|matrix|egg⟩ I fail to see how learning aviation doesn’t inherently involve metacognitive considerations
<queqiao->
⟨whitequark⟩ ah!
<queqiao->
⟨whitequark⟩ that's an interesting angle
<queqiao->
⟨whitequark⟩ we consider aviation, cycling, writing, etc all variations on tool use
<queqiao->
⟨whitequark⟩ in some cases you're inside of the tool.
<queqiao->
⟨whitequark⟩ consider driving, for example
<queqiao->
⟨whitequark⟩ if learning to drive would require any nontrivial metacognitive capabilities, then the entire adult population of the US would have those

<queqiao->
⟨whitequark⟩ is flying fundamentally different from driving?
<queqiao->
⟨egg|matrix|egg⟩ (unfortunately I have yet to learn to drive so I am not sure that example speaks to me more than flying)
<queqiao->
⟨egg|matrix|egg⟩ hm.
<queqiao->
⟨whitequark⟩ here's an example that speaks to us
<queqiao->
⟨whitequark⟩ scooters!
<queqiao->
⟨whitequark⟩ nearly everyone can learn to ride a scooter. it's easier than a bike, probably
e_14159 has joined #kspacademia
<queqiao->
⟨whitequark⟩ we did that, of course. what we also do is repeatedly push ourselves and the machine to the limits of our and its capabilities
<queqiao->
⟨whitequark⟩ in order to not just be able to get where we want, but to synchronize with it in the most efficient way
<queqiao->
⟨whitequark⟩ make it an extension of ourselves to the extent where it feels as natural as walking or breathing
<queqiao->
⟨whitequark⟩ do people do that with flying? yes, absolutely. does *everyone* do that with flying? we expect not
<queqiao->
⟨egg|matrix|egg⟩ certainly I have seen remarks to that effect wrt aircraft with particularly good man-machine interfaces
<queqiao->
⟨egg|matrix|egg⟩ but more generally
<queqiao->
⟨egg|matrix|egg⟩ Consider IFR flight; you need to, deep-down, retrain your sense of orientation to base it upon your instruments (it is common to feel that one is upside-down while being right-side up, and vice-versa)
<queqiao->
⟨whitequark⟩ oh yes
<queqiao->
⟨egg|matrix|egg⟩ and this obviously cannot be at a purely conscious level
<queqiao->
⟨egg|matrix|egg⟩ lest you hit the ground before you have read the instrument
<queqiao->
⟨egg|matrix|egg⟩ yeah, and high-speed flight, formation flight, likewise
<queqiao->
⟨whitequark⟩ now, consider
<queqiao->
⟨whitequark⟩ some degree of rewiring is inherent in learning to use any tool
<queqiao->
⟨whitequark⟩ rewiring with metacognition allows you to do it more directly
<queqiao->
⟨whitequark⟩ not just repeatedly train for it, but recognize the pattern behind the instruments and hook it up to the sense of balance or what you'd like
<queqiao->
⟨whitequark⟩ become the instrument itself
<queqiao->
⟨whitequark⟩ like, say, maybe you're having problems taking e2 on schedule or staying hydrated. you can use reminders, train yourself to do it every X minutes, or something
<queqiao->
⟨whitequark⟩ you can also find the part of your brain that says you're low on e2 or dehydrated, and hook it up to the idea of taking pills or drinking a cup
<queqiao->
⟨whitequark⟩ that takes a few minutes. something more substantial like changing how your visual perception works, or hooking up instruments to your sense of balance requires a deeper change in cognition. in our experience, things like that take longer, and come with interesting effects, like psychedelic perception (though that might just be a result of off-target 5HT2A activation)
<queqiao->
⟨whitequark⟩ oh, another fun thing we learned how to do a while ago
<queqiao->
⟨whitequark⟩ look at a false color image and connect the color map directly to a feeling
<queqiao->
⟨whitequark⟩ for example, there was a false color image of Mars with surface roughness, so we hooked the colors to the feeling of roughness
<queqiao->
⟨whitequark⟩ it's like synesthesia on demand
<queqiao->
⟨egg|matrix|egg⟩ this is why I think this is an interesting avenue of research to answer your question about eggs; there probably is quite a lot of data on pilot training
<queqiao->
⟨whitequark⟩ oh!
<queqiao->
⟨whitequark⟩ yes, this makes sense
<queqiao->
⟨whitequark⟩ wonder if there is a bimodal distribution there
<queqiao->
⟨whitequark⟩ that could answer a few questions
<queqiao->
⟨whitequark⟩ thank you
* queqiao-
⟨egg|matrix|egg⟩ pets whitequark with an egg
<queqiao->
⟨whitequark⟩ nyaa~
<queqiao->
⟨egg|matrix|egg⟩ whitequark: also an interesting thing to look at may be studies of people who fly both fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft; the former involves learning how to recognize signs of—and avoid—stall in a way that, aiui, makes it harder to learn the latter
<queqiao->

⟨egg|matrix|egg⟩ I believe someone mentioned that about egges
<queqiao->
⟨whitequark⟩ the study is also kind of done backwards
<queqiao->
⟨egg|matrix|egg⟩ yeah I would not be surprised if I had found a piece of crap, again I didn’t try very hard and aiui that field is full of it
<queqiao->
⟨whitequark⟩ we're not sure how to design an experiment testing for what we're interested in
<queqiao->
⟨whitequark⟩ but the direction seems promising
<e_14159>
Yes, acoup is very interesting. I quite liked the historical Mongols series. (I also haven't read the Paradox series series yet, because time)
