Why is it not more widespread that pattern recognition is the basis of everything? I actually first heard it a few years ago and was shocked by the assertion that all intelligence is just pattern recognition.
Except it's entirely accurate that all we do is pattern recognition. Why are things like this not more well known in popular culture or popular understanding?
>Why are things like this not more well known in popular culture or popular understanding?
You could ask this question about anything. It's because people are far more stupid and less interested than you give them credit for.

Yes, but understanding things from the basis of pattern recognition actually improves how you think. Especially when it comes to science, religion, etc debates.
It gives a far better foundation for understanding the world. I actually think we would probably be best off teaching everything off the basis of a pattern language rather than math.

It's obvious, so there was no reason to discuss it
like all pop sci shit it's superficial, like how most of religion, or at least the common interpretations of religion are superficial and reward normalfags for a minimal investment of time and mental effort
do you think a normalfag actually gives a shit? they don't analyze this stuff, they don't deconstruct, tear it down and look at all the basic, irreducible components / axioms / w\e
I agree, there's more than that, there is also selective assimilation of information, the process of memorization, genetic factors that bias your analysis, there's bias everywhere, there's reticence towards learning some concepts, there's a tendency of only caring about the information you really, really want to memorize
It is perhaps the basis of intelligence. But its not all there is to it.
Planning in an uncertain environment is a much harder problem.
>basis
>everything
undefined and shallow statements imo
what about invisible phenomenons like fluid dynamics, gravity and magnetism yeah they follow patterns but even if maths could show them without uncertanties (which it cant: three body problem) one especially can't show the patterns of said math with certainty

If all you do is pattern recognition, which patterns of your own have you recognized?

behold a retard

Can someone make a similar gif with there being a person and it identifying him as a faggot?
>>8806037
yes
>>8806037
why not make a real fag detector in which you feed real images of fags
like, photos of you, of OP, of Nigel Farage, etc
Panpsychism is the closest to reality.

He should have clarified "it's obvious if you're not a moron."
>>8805241
Because it doesn't mean anything to say "woah dude like everything is pattern recognition". Okay? What comes after that? What exactly do you mean?
Just a bullshit qualitative pseudo-model that doesn't really explain anything but has enough truthiness to it that people will have a gut reaction that it's correct.
