Workplace Sexual Harassment And Other Social Injustice

10:04:15 AM <@ SIDPMod> Morning, all. ☺ I read a perspective that seems to propose reasons for the (apparently suggested) ineffectiveness of workplace sexual harassment claims.

The (apparently-proposed) reasons seem common to every intentional instance of social injustice: consideration of administrator quality of life as more valuable than that of those being administrated.

10:14:07 AM <@ SIDPMod> To me, the Bible seems to offer highest-value insight regarding this issue.

10:29:52 AM <@ SIDPMod> The Bible seems to emphasize via principle and example the subjectivity to perceptual error, including perception of comparative ethics-relevant value, that seems science-acknowledged as being intrinsic to humans, and the extent to which such non-omniscience seems to render humans unqualified for personal much less aggregate decision-making without omniscient God's guidance.

10:33:51 AM <@ SIDPMod> The Bible seems to suggest that the optimal decision-making structure seeks God's guidance regarding personal decisions and leaves God to manage the decisions of others, including the extent to which others' decisions seem to impact personal quality of life.

11:04:11 AM <@ SIDPMod> The Bible seems to also suggest that human dissatisfaction with the human (and apparently, quite likely short-sighted) perception of God's circumstance management seems incorrectly accepted by some as sufficient basis upon which to replace God with some other point of reference as priority decision-maker.

11:10:16 AM <@ SIDPMod> 1 Samuel 8 seems to offer a crystal-clear example of God directly addressing the potential for such perception and subsequent decision-making and explaining what the result would (apparently inevitably) be.

11:14:00 AM <@ SIDPMod> After thousands-to-millions of years of human existence and innovation, reports of intentional social injustice throughout human history seem to suggest that the apparently-suggested warning from God seems not to have been proven wrong.

Potential Danger Of The Attempt To Replace God With AI

6:33:24 PM <@ SIDPMod> To me, the premise: "How to root out hidden biases in AI" seems illogical since it seems to rely upon using a flawed guage to gauge the gauge's flaws.

6:34:56 PM <@ SIDPMod> For example, the excerpt "I believe the great use for machine learning and AI will be in conjunction with really knowledgeable people who know history and sociology and psychology to figure out who should be treated similarly to whom" seems to overlook the limitations of human perception. If any humans could "figure out who should be treated similarly to whom", social conflict seems unlikely to exist.

6:47:26 PM <@ SIDPMod> Technology seems to have been developed to help humans determine the factors relevant to decision-making. If, with the factors currently humanly and technologically perceived, we still haven't rooted out the biases in human intelligence that seem suggested as the tool for rooting out biases in artificial intelligence that exist via human intelligence.

6:56:22 PM <@ SIDPMod> Goals that are suggested to have been technologically achieved, such as locomotion and computation might be presented on AI's behalf to propose AI's ability to be eventually fool-proofed.

7:11:03 PM <@ SIDPMod> Without suggesting that goal to be irrefutably unreachable, achievement seems illogical due to apparently limited human understanding of what optimal future circumstance consists of, and perhaps as a result, what decision-relevant factors are, and apparently much less so, the relevant state of those factors.

7:12:34 PM <@ SIDPMod> Re: "How do you know when you have the right model, and when it’s capturing what really happened in society?" to me, therefore, an even more important question might be "How do you know when your model is capturing what really should happen in society?"

Returning To God's Economic Design

It seems that humans might have become dissatisfied with and abandoned God's economic design only to have their own ideas lead them right back to the very design they abandoned. Leaders seem to suggest that the labor-based economic strategy is being voided by the technological labor force strategy and may require replacement by a less humanly administrated economic strategy, which seems closer to God's apparent design of economics administrated by God at the level of the individual.

My interpretation of Genesis chapters 1 and 2 and other information that I've encountered seems reasonably interpreted as suggesting that (a) God's economic system design for the human experience seems to be individual, discretionary access to resources, and that (b) economic systems other than that are human innovation intended to replace rejected guidance from God with regard to real-time, individual decision-making.

Apparently, similarly to humanly-developed systems in general, humanly-developed economic systems seem subject to dysfunction due to the apparent impact of human fallibility upon system design and operation. The above article seems to acknowledge the extent to which technological advancement seems to reveal the limitations of marketplace economics as an approach to resource distribution. The emergent conclusion seems to suggest returning some portion of resource allocation to comparative general access. That suggested return, however, seems to seek continued administrated rather than individual allocation as a behavior-shaping tool. My thought seems to be the extent to which human behavior-shaping attempt seems most logically inferior to God-administrated behavior-shaping due to the non-omniscience and omniscience of the administrators, respectively. For example, the video speaker seems to suggest behavior-shaping by allocating resources based upon education-completion choices.

Prima facie, this might seem a positive behavior-shaping strategy, but it seems to overlook the extent to which valued societal contributions seem reported to have been made by following a path forward other than traditional education. Limited human perception seems most logically suggested to be incapable of distinguishing that path from the perhaps stereo-typically depicted ne'er-do-well, perhaps especially in light of the apparently reported perceived ne'er-do-well that subsequently made a valued contribution... the "late-bloomer".

I respect the apparently-God given choice to hang one's hat on human rather than God's administration, but mentioning the perceived and apparently unsurmountable flaws of that life-approach seems appropriate.
