      If I ever achieve any notable success and I start falling victim to the socio-cognitive trap that makes me think I’m an authority on everything, please relentlessly take the piss out of me because I would deserve it. // Signed 2020 Me

      its ok to have opinions about everything but not to be an authority on everything. there's a subtle difference

      I think success begets reinforcement that makes the successfuls’ understanding of that subtlety vanish real damn fast

      Also — while I’m in no way comparable — I do appreciate how much more attention my endlessly vapid shitposts get compared to my serious ones. It’s the weirdest form of grounding.

      i have a hard time balancing my desire to give deference to people with specialized knowledge + accomplishments with my own understanding of how knowledge production systems systematically fail at validating authority

          my compromise is not really coherent but it works a lot of the time for me. i try to give any opinion that seems like it could be grounded in reputable knowledge a fair hearing while also deferring to people with classic authority
