Social Hacking

We talked a little more about unnecessary content in written text today in my language technology class. We looked statistics from written Swedish. It turns out that you can remove 67% of the words and still understand the meaning. Insert conclusion here.
What is important to realize though, is that this extra information does help us when we talk. So in a optimized language you might have to differ written from spoken text.

Over to something new that I have put some though into; prejudgment. I have been trying to advice people to be less judging when meeting new people and in other social situations (conflicts?). However, I have also realized that we will never be able to not judge people. Prejudice comes subconsciously. The only way to not judge someone is to know everything and do you know anyone who is all knowing? (besides God or Santa or whomever you believe in). We all live in our small bubbles. No matter how much you explore or learn, you will only make your bubble a little bigger but never pierce it (nice metaphor?). However, what we can do is hold back our prejudice, try not to act upon it.
Try to consider how prejudgment affects the decisions of others. One easy example is when getting a bank loan. Does wearing a suit improve your chances of getting the loan?
