Idk, if you’re doing the same thing after your training that you were doing before, you either didn’t need training or you weren’t successfully trained.
It’s an idiom, it’s not meant to be a clinical diagnosis. Like, yeah if you’re psychiatrist says it to you qnd tries to have you institutionalized, that’s obviously a problem. But I highly doubt that’s ever happened, certainly not in the modern age.
Ultimately, it’s actually the same exact idea as “Those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it,” but in less politically correct terms.
think the meme has some grounds for truth. of course it was designed to be a dramatic speech for a scary character but it has some grounds to it: this may not be the truth but its how it feels. By doing the same thing over and over again and seeing no chance you go insane, and as such it feels like doing so is asking for insanity, thus the characters speech!
Actually when you create a hypothesis and test it and prove it out, it is meant to be 100% repeatable by anyone following the metgod. Otherwise your method or hypothesis is wrong.
Right, but the reason you run the experiment repeatedly is to test the validity of the hypothesis. You’re looking for something different to happen. That’s the point behind rerunning the tests.
But also if you keep running the compiler without changing any of the code hoping for the errors to be magically gone, you are insane. So there’s the same logic being applied to insanity in computer science
I mean, Jeffrey Dahmer was universally considered insane and he didn’t “do the same thing over and over and expect different results”. He just killed and ate people over and over and expected them to taste good.

I too hate this quote for that reason, thank you for your service o7
Relevant xkcd

For the training, I’d argue that you’re not trying to get different results.
Each time, the result is minor growth in whatever your goal is, be it strength, muscle mass, or endurance, etc.

Yeah but Vaas is iconic and absolutely arresting in every scene he’s in.

Quote Investigator tracked it to some AA meetings around 1981.

You’re also in a meme community, commenting on a meme, so while technically correct, it’s not super relevant.
You miss 100% of the DSM that doesn’t get discredited 3 years from now.

Doing the same thing over and over with an expectation to see differing results is also science.

So they tasted good? If not, where’s the difference?
If you’re getting different results it’s because you’re adjusting something. That’s training.
