So you are just going to say I'm naive and not give any justification... Yea, I'm the one who is a silly person. You're totally not even just resorting to unjustified name calling. Wonderful...

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

So...

o.o this thread is now the 'watch Vector and random people have the same debate for the hundredth time' thread, mm?

Because whenever new stuff comes up, it always ends up as the same thing that's been talked about over and over and over and it's kinda starting to get annoying now.

It is because how do you talk about specifics when the basics are still up for debate?

First of all, I am not the only person who shows up to these conversations consistently.

Second of all, if other women consistently posted in these threads, I wouldn't.  I feel it's helpful to hear a female point of view.

I hear you.  I'm annoying.  Whatever.

As a random person who posts pretty frequently in these, I'm going to spend all night harrumphing now. I hope you're happy, ragnarok97071, if that is your real name.

Also, you don't have to watch. Say whatever new stuff you think needs to show up. Otherwise, we're never going to stop annoying you.

Ahhh, now that would be an interesting topic for debate.

After all the usual method for trying to reach a proper conclusion is to try to be free from bias. Yet this is openly inviting bias.

Yet does that bias carry the real weight of the discussion? Or does it weight it down?

That sounds suspiciously like waving off a eyewitness accounts as "biased".

"A female point of view creates bias"

FUCKING SERIOUSLY?  HOW IS THE FUCKING MALE POINT OF VIEW NOT BIASED?

To give a "female point of view" is to say "as a female, I feel"

Not many people here speak in the male point of view.

And your understanding of the universe, the information you collect, the things you know, the data to which you have access is not at all tainted or biased by being a man.

Would you like me to give the male perspective for the answer?

Which by the way, is my answer.

Neonivek, I don't think you understand what bias is, or the reasons why it's avoided. Because your argument seems to somehow hinge on the idea that because Vector pointed out that she's a woman, she must be less reliable than men who don't point out that they're men. There are... several leaps in your logic there that I'm completely unable to follow. But basically you need to explain why saying "This has relevance to me" could be automatic grounds for disqualification in a conversation.

No, not at all. You are simply confusing a "Woman's perspective" and a "Woman's perspective".

One is an unavoidable bias simply from being a human being a "human perspective" while the other is intentionally giving personal bias from your "personal perspective".
