I mean, I use some pretty advanced AI from Microsoft to plow through massive amounts of online originals content from extremist single users or groups, which filters the chaff from the wheat, as it were, and leaves me the wheat to sift through mysefl and conduct a manual psycho-stylometric linguistic analysis.
Well that is more akin to data gathering rather than data analysis, although I know they are closely connected.
There are programs that can "do" stylometric analysis of linguistic content, but it isn't nearly as fast or accurate as a well-educated, experienced human being.
No, what I do is analyze the *content* itself. *How* an indivual *uses* the English (or whatever, I'm a polyglot) Language to make analytical estimations of psychological, cognitive, emotional, and behavioral states of beiing at any given time, and over a period of time.
It's one of tools used in both identification as well as threat assessment.
I am a hopeful polyglot, beyond English I have a good grasp on Spanish and am currently learning Hebrew. Once I gain fluency in it I want to move over to Aramaic and maybe Arabic.
The more content you have, the better an estimation you can make, but more content means more irrelevant data which must be rejected before the anlysis can even begin.
I would like to learn Greek and Latin but I am skeptical if I will even attempt them at the moment.
Languages aren't difficult if you can get the hang of a couple. English is my second language, Welsh is my first (first generation American from a Welsh speaking household) and after I picked up French, learning additional languages became a little easier each time.
That is what I hope, especially moving over from Hebrew to an Aramaic language, likely Syriac.
I speak Welsh, English, French, German, Spanish and Russian fluently, and I'm conversational (to varying degrees) in Arabic, Urdu, Farsi, Somali, Amhairic, Hopi, Dine, and I understand "legal" Latin fairly well, but I couldn't hold a conversation in it.
I'm learning Romanian, and after that Czech.
But I've been lazy about continuing education in the last 6 months. More work than free time.
One language I would love to learn just for the absurdity of it would be Rumantsch.
Just to learn it I would probably have to learn German first though.
LOL. Here's one for ya....Turkmen. The language of Turkmenistan. IT's a fascinating language from one of the strangest dictatorships in the world right now.
Yiddish is an awesome language, a pre-existing working knowledge in GErman helps with that one too.
English is actually a quite limited language.
I’m not usually keen on learning niche languages, but I find rumantsch such a beautiful language.
I find English almost a bir clunky now
Take our words for sadness. There's not a whole lot to pick from. Melancholy, depression, mourning, and there are a few other, but none of them nearly as accurately descriptive of many of the more moving experiences of sadness which are frequently experinced by many English-only speakers. Take the German word for a sadness indescribable in the English language. Mutterseelinallein. It literally means "My Mother's soul has left me."
@Abel Nice, that's something I'm definitely going to look into in some depth, as that could enhance my long-term research into memory.
I prefer the more literal romanic way of language that gives context through modifications of words through numerous forms.
You're welcome
Rather than what I feel is more a germanic form of language that combines existing words to make new ones, but perhaps that isn't unique to just germanic languages.
If that research bears fruit, then there is the possibility of expanding research into CBD in healthy neurophysiological memory improvement and enhancement.
If CBD has the potentiality to reverse Alzheimer's, it may equally have a potentiality to induce an eidetic memory, or something close to it in a previously non-eidetic subject.
(Eidetic is what most folks erroneously refer to as "photographic memory"
There's actually already a rather large body of "researcher-observed" anecdotal evidence (though there is a "participant-observer" argument to be made) that advanced analysts who smoke weed, and in some cases certain types of weed other than the crazy-high THC/no CBB shit going around the streets, but homegrown by the analyst (more common than you think) have a much higher level of rapid long-term memory embedment with a higher level of accuracy of detailed recall over a longer period of time.
A lot of historians have quite the garden.
Has anyone seen Tim's interview with Oliver Darcy? I couldn't find it on his main channel.
Are you sure it happened?
Sometimes we think things happened, but they didn’t.
Tim said it did in a recent video
He referenced it
Which video?
His video from today about the new Twitter rules.
About a third of the way through.
Can you cite the timestamp?
Just a sec.
