Of course advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this.

I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

You don't need more time, you need fewer distractions.

You don't need motivation, you need self-control.

You don't need more resources, you need resourcefulness.

You don't need luck, you need preparation.

You don't need to be busy, you need to be focused.

You don't need to know everything, you just need to start.

You have everything you need.

Agree?

Imagine when it comes up with a story way different that the one you tell yourself. Or different AIs producing very different narratives?

Could this have an impact in our egos or even in our self identitification?

What about the information left out?

Have you reached out to black mirror?

I actually think about this a lot (maybe a future post).

Realistic images of ourselves in made-up situations has a certain effect on the brain. I wonder if it trips the "representation" neurons -- when you see someone who looks like yourself in a successful position it increases self-esteem among other things.

I imagine that causal narratives are even stronger with this effect. It might not reach the same level of having a suppport system reframe negative events into positive narratives, but again, it's along the same lines.

This might be an interesting angle to this problem.

In buddhism we talk of a self awareness problem.

As certain meditation techniques improve attention and awareness. It seems to advanced meditators that untrained people's tales of their own life are made by defective measuring devices, themselves.

Si more than subjectivity being the reason for the mismatch between reality and my concepto of myself. It's more due to the lack of attention and awareness, the automatic filling in the gaps by a lazy brain, the imprecisión of memory.

Bringing this to AI generated Bios.

The facts and the tales, and the post-death análysis from incomplete or even inacurate facts could lead to huge deviations in narrative.

Omiting a defining moment in a person's life could change the interpretation fully.

With incomplete information a nice FB like "who will you be in ten years" test might be possible using current AI.

But relying in AI, as we don't do with Google and chatGPT (guilty) for our self stories might reduce our awareness or bias our visión a lot.

Thanks for the interesting breakfast post provoking thoughts
