sensor that cannot be measured correctly is not useful

  • Buggy sensors need repair.

I see humans as a metaphor for sensors.

  • What does it mean for a human to “be buggy”?
  • Here, “to estimate that an event that occurs with probability p in reality occurs with a probability greater or less than p.”

Let’s bug everyone more.

  • I was going to say “buggy people are less valuable.”
  • but there is absolutely no basis for it.
  • On the contrary, I’ve always felt that buggy people make a more beneficial contribution to the advancement of civilization.
  • →Let’s bugger it up.

for some reason

But if the reason it is better to have a variance in judgment is because of the need for exploration, i.e., you can’t estimate accurately without exploration, so if you can really estimate accurately, shouldn’t you have a variance?

  • In other words, the conclusion is that humans are buggy and should be made more buggy!

relevance - human bug - Rebalancing to Emotions - People have personalities. It is beneficial - Even if the sensor returns an accurate value, if the perception of “what is of value” is varied, the behavior chosen will be varied.
