It never stopped being funny during the mayoral campaign last year that Sliwa's main driving force was how much he despised Cuomo. They'd be in debates and Cuomo would be all "my opponent Mr Moobandi" and Sliwa would go "I hate you, you piece of shit, fuck you".

Which is funny because Republicans deliberately did redistricting that purposely diluted a *lot* of those safely red districts, thinking they were fucking over the democrats. Which ended up turning solid and safe +10 districts into very uncertain +4s and such as Trump slammed his dick in a car door

the movie is great at constructing backstory from little hints. we get the sense that he's failed from job to job and town to town. his unhinged speech about "have you given ANY THOUGHT to MY RESPONSIBILITY" is the speech of a guy who has failed to meet his responsibilities in various dumb ways

Tasks multiply, each becoming a fractal blossom of subtasks that must be checked for being utter fucking nonsense and then corrected if so. And it's all random, all black box: impossible to develop a coping strategy and heuristic to deal with. Any given subtask might turn into its own clusterfuck

The aphorism really should be "if you opened the last ten doors using a sledgehammer, you won't even notice the 11th door is unlocked." It's interesting to consider the Einstellung effect and how so many terrible solutions in such a wide range of things, result from it.

George Polya, in How to Solve It, discussed this effect, as he argued that the real test is not whether you have learned a solution, but whether you've learned how to *find* a solution.

In a real way, becoming an expert at solving one problem makes it objectively harder to solve even a similar kind of problem. Even if that problem is a much easier one than the one you are an expert at.

Paradoxically, being good at solving a problem *requires* you to think less, to filter out more unnecessary information. The less thinking you have to do, the better you are at solving it.

Solve the same problem repeatedly, and you develop a very lazy algorithm to solve it. If X, do Y. And if a new problem looks similar enough to that problem, you will not notice that there is no X to Y. You'll just assume there is, and try it anyway.

This is because the better you become at solving a problem, the less you have to think to do it. You know which details to look for, what the important parts are to pay attention to, etc. You don't have to pay as much attention, or think, as you did that first time.

Basically: the new problem is seen as familiar, and they use what they learned solving previous problems, to try to solve it. Over-familiarity with the type of problem, makes it hard to notice that it is *not* the same problem.

Unlike the aphorism, you can test this in a lab. Have subjects solve 10 problems that requires one kind of solution. Give them an 11th problem where that solution doesn't make sense. Watch them all try that solution anyway.

There is a cool cognitive bias called the Einstellung effect. Basically: if you solve several problems the same way, the next problem you encounter you will try to solve the same way. "when all you have is a hammer," basically.

You can think of it like an anti-tool, one that actually destroys your ability to solve a problem. That actively makes it impossible to learn from solving problems how to solve new problems.

Fortunately, this is not how calculators work or are marketed. They calculate: if you know how to solve a problem, you use them to solve the problem reproducibly. They do not solve the problem unless you know how to solve the problem.

A better analogy to calculators, a more accurate one, would be if calculators didn't actually calculate. A calculator with number inputs only and a button you press to receive an answer, no operations. Enter some numbers, get an answer. Maybe it's the same each time, maybe not.

When "something I have done before" turns into an undifferentiated "press the bullshit button, receive slop," you miss out on *the* engine that creates expertise and mastery. Calculators don't do this. You still have to know how to solve the problem, for them to work.
