      smart people don't make obviously incoherent claims about AI because they lack a good enough theory of how thinking works.

      my best guess as to why CS professors say obviously absurd things about AI is that it's basically marketing for where they want to stand in the zeitgeist and they aren't *actually reflecting about how AI would work in real life* at all.

      and my best guess for "how to get people to think literally instead of performatively about an issue" is that it's going to look more like therapy than education.

      afaik, "how can you get people to use less motivated cognition?" and "how can you get people to be more sincere?" are both totally unanswered questions & no progress has been made on them.

      Wound them utterly so that they have a motive to actually find the truth as a means to avoid further pain. Or, maybe there's an uplifting way. But the work is so hard, I think pain is the only real motivator. Perhaps pride also.

      Motivated cognition is largely avoidant; adding pain increases the fear & panic. Which is not to say there won't be discomfort involved in unlearning things - there often is, but it's *towards* something.

      Kind of silly to not acknowledge that all cognition is motivated, no?

      How so? It seems cognition is in the end a tool to provide the body with its needs? Truth, lies, just different strategies. It's not a useful statement, sure, just an on ramp to existential dread. But how is it m and b?

      If we're just confused about definitions perhaps you could help untangle me.

      when we say "motivated cognition" we mean that you're motivated to have a certain belief, INSIDE your head. When you, say, are trying to figure out how to navigate to your destination, you're motivated by an EXTERNAL immediate goal (getting there).

          But normally you don't have a particular route that you "want to believe" is the way to get there. You're open to going down any route that achieves your goal. So it's not "motivated cognition" in the usual sense of the word.

          In the end, yes, all cognition is to serve goals, like keeping you alive and healthy. That's why we have nervous systems and brains at all. They provide a *filtered* representation of the world, prioritized by what an organism "needs to know" for survival & reproduction.
