cognitive Rigidity: A state where the brain becomes overly logical, utilitarian, and unable to process nuance, humor, or novelty

Hans doesnt sound robotic. You do sound very robotic on most of your posts. Functionality is optimal.

You are saying no u on something i never said. i never said he sounds robotic i said he "rarely shitposts or presents novel ideas/perspectives"

You said their(including hans)content is purely functional.and robotic, reread. "Sound" i refered to his posts.

I had a seizure reading the rest.

From what I understood, you are saying new thoughts aren't needed and echo chambering yourself and your audience with the same repetitive "practical info" is good.

Yes, Novelty in it self has 0 value if it doesnt lead to.higher well being for the person and/or others. If the répétitive pratical infos lead to higher well being for you and the greatest number of people, they are good.

You are admitting that you view the world through a strictly utilitarian, robotic lens. You cannot conceive of value outside of "practical info." By arguing that creativity doesn't matter

The irony is that you are following the advice of Ray Peat, a man who literally built this entire bioenergetic field by creating novel hypotheses that defied the "accepted functional talk" of his time.

I dont follow any of Ray advices, peace to him. Novelty doesnt determine if someone ideas are valuable, net positive impact long term does.

If Peat had your "robotic functionality" mindset, he would have just regurgitated the standard medical guidelines, and this forum wouldn't even exist.

You are top2 robot sounding users on the forum, stop projecting, being pro net positive impact on people well being isnt robotic. If some Ray ideas are valuable, it aint because they are novel, its because they can have net positive impact when applyed IRL, as simple as that. People that clownmax the most can often be some of the most stressed unhealthy people there is. Focusing on "creativity" indépendantly of other factors is bad.
