A thing I posted on the no-longer-bird app a few years ago. I feel like I keep encountering this phenomenon to this day:
Mainstream politics want you(we) thinking like that. Polarization is right for them Centered position or neutral does not exist, tho Everytime any of us is expressing something, the simple act of doing it, it is a political act ..there are tons of alternative tribes, ideologies and personalities 2-opt world is fake
Political teaching of Plato/Aristotle: A city will not be set free from evils unless a Gray Soul (philosopher) learns to speak Gray Ideas (truth) in the form of Blue Language and/or Red Language (political rhetoric).
There’s certainly still a lot of that, but personally feel like the “maxi culture” has subsided strongly throughout this bear market (if you compare to the 2021 heydays)
What's an Ethereum-related example of this "High X only" mentality?
Perfect example of in-group out-group social dynamics + the Semmelweis reflex https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semmelweis_reflex
especially true on twitter. feel this very much. fanaticism or nothing :(
For me this is about AI safety. So many minmaxers, so few geodesics
Setting x = e/acc and realizing I've watched the right side play out 😂
