UDLCO CRH: The genX Fear of missing out FOMO and it's contrarian, the gen Zee fear of cognitive overload manifesting in TLDR

 Summary: 


Today's fear of cognitive load henceforth FOCL vs FOMO is optimized through a conversational UDLCO CRH, it's origins, challenges and current gen tools to deal with it.

Keyword glossary:





Conversational Transcripts:

[15/07, 07:21]: How does one filter out the  good and relevant messages from a group like this? 

One thing for such a hyperactive group is to think before posting if it is needed or avoidable. My humble submission is to reduce the message count by pausing to think ... otherwise just hundreds of unread messages makes it difficult and ensures missing out useful ones. 

How do you all manage?



[15/07, 07:58]cm: Somehow manage by actually missing out on a large number of posts


[15/07, 08:00]cm: FOCL (fear of cognitive load) often overtrumps FOMO (fear of missing out)!

[15/07, 08:09]hu1: I just ignore certain posts and 'post'ers.

15/07, 08:20]cm: Conversely I often click on to a group when I notice that a poster who I like to read has posted a new message!

15/07, 08:35]hu3: Post-ed: Took me a while to understand "poster"! Education creates dissonance :)


[15/07, 08:38]cm: The dissonance is due to different ontology products of education clashing and clanging!

[15/07, 08:12]cm: Most humans have their built in cognitive sieves and it's an important cognitive device to reduce FOCL as well as FOMO


[15/07, 08:14]hu3: By measuring targeted  gatekeeping measures 😇

15/07, 08:12]hu2: That's the beauty of a group like these. The minute we start putting restrictions the beauty goes off...


[15/07, 08:15]hu3: No no Dr.... The dissonance mediated gatekeeping is generating a lot of nice data for forming hypothesis around neural correlates of conflict and conflict resolution 😊🙏


[15/07, 08:16]hu3: Without disrespect Prof, maybe mbbs students should be given 101s on neural correlates of behaviour?


[15/07, 08:18]hu4: My method is to respond to any post of interest, when I am visiting the group. If there are 10s or 100s of unread messages at that point of time, I don't read any of those. Perhaps the most recent (at that instant) 4 or 5 messages are the most that I read and/or respond to. Like this one. ☺️


[15/07, 08:13] Metapsychist Number N: Just delete the messages you are not interested in and retain those which may help you in present or future. Out of 100 messages you may be blessed with only one REAL DIAMOND.


[15/07, 08:14]cm: Will add this message to my diamond UDLCO collection


[15/07, 08:17] Metapsychist Number N:

It is up to you.
But glance through even the junk, like Ramakrishna activated a few of his junk DNA s.


[15/07, 08:21]cm: Yes we call them introns


[15/07, 08:21] Metapsychist Number N: 
To contribute something solid in any domain, a man of science has to be a SAGE, practicing 'Dopamine Fasting' 'DF' 

[15/07, 08:21]hu4: Another way of (forced) attention is when someone tags me to look at/respond to a particular message. @⁨cm does that on some occasions. So does @⁨ATP⁩. ☺️

15/07, 08:33]hu1: Another option is to post less. Posting more than twice on day in same group? Maybe do it tomorrow


[15/07, 08:25]hu1: Think before you post . Agreed


[15/07, 08:28]cm: Similar to look before you leap. So before you think before posting you would need to look what has been posted and there we go again into FOCL and FOMO!


[15/07, 08:32]hu1: Aint that complicated. READ the name of the group and think before you post.

15/07, 08:37]cm: It could be useful to reduce redundancy in deployed EMRs!

The complicated research question here can be broken down into:

How does one reduce noise in healthcare data to optimise efficiency while adding more data to the system keeping the data consumers in mind so that they don't get cognitively overloaded while processing the new data in the context of previous data?

15/07, 08:39 ) hu1: Will respond tomorrow. I have posted more than twice today in this group



[15/07, 08:39]hu3: Is it the responsibility of the device / lab (data source), or the data consumer?


[15/07, 08:39]cm: Both I guess

[15/07, 08:41]hu3: No ... Hence, in SCADA the established norm is to use Data Concentrator, between the sensor and the UI

Sensor (technology wise) is a data producer, not a data consumer.

Established fact


[15/07, 08:45]hu3: And what do we do with broken sensors?

We scrap them... They have outlined their purpose and will only generate unnecessary noise


[15/07, 08:45]cm: Yes have been wondering about an AI device that can capture data through ambient audio and then transport it through the temporal lobe right into our frontal and prefrontal cortex for processing and hippocampus for storage.

The current route involving voice to text and then occipital cortex mediated transfer to frontal is not conducive to those who suffer from the TLDR syndrome


[15/07, 08:46]hu3: The history of this group recorded over the past eight+ years of my presence here has given sufficient data for me to self realize "neural correlates of dissonance" 😇😁


[15/07, 08:46]hu3: The data is block chained 😊


[15/07, 08:47]cm: Chained to your hippa certified hippa-campus?😅

November Update (after the 15th July conversational citation):

[21/11, 22:52]hu4: FOMO is old news — there’s a brand-new four-letter acronym taking over the internet: FOFO. The Fear of Finding Out is everywhere, from skipped doctor visits to unopened bank apps to that engine light you pretend you didn’t see. And FOFO doesn’t travel alone — it brings its chaotic cousins: FOBO (Fear of Better Options), FOPO (Fear of Other People’s Opinions), and FOMU (Fear of Messing Up)



[21/11, 22:53]hu: Interesting FOFO is connected to doctors 😄


[22/11, 09:28]hu2: We called it FOCL this July! Fear of missing out FOMO appears to be more of a genX and early millennial thingy while it's contrarian, the gen Zee fear of cognitive overload FOCL currently  (also recently termed FOFO adding another interesting dimension to cognitive overload) ubiquitously manifests in TLDR!
