I realllly did not appreciate the degree to which people just lie about other people on the internet and it's just... taken as fact? For example: I often joke about throwing insane parties; I sometimes have joked about playing drug roulette, where ppl get a random drug 1/

- e.g. MDMA, shrooms, alcohol, adderall. I speculated on how we could possibly pull this off. It would be hard to disguise what drug you're taking, especially if drugs hit at different times? How do you disguise taste? It's not a feasible party at all. 2/

And somehow the rumor has spread that I *definitely have* thrown drug roulette parties? Like, there's people online who are confidently claiming that this is a thing I do, despite me going "no, I have not done this." I don't understand the incentives here. 3/

Like A) I would definitely be down to throw a drug roulette party if you could figure out how to get everyone high at the same time (and basic safety stuff like low doses, make sure everyone consents to the drug options), it's just logistically super difficult!

and B) I am regularly open about way more insane shit I do. Weird orgies, naked mask parties, I have helped host parties where people did psychedelics, parties that fuck with rules for behavioral norms, etc. - why would I be secretly trying to cover this up?

Most of the time when I see ppl blatantly claiming untrue things about me, I'm confused because they don't align with my own incentives at all. Like if you were me, it just wouldn't *make sense* to do the thing you're claiming I secretly did. They're obvs not thinking it through.

So idk what's going on. I don't know if the strong claims are coming from people who are quite mentally unstable, and thus legitimately are experiencing some reality in which they hallucinated I did something insane? These are the hardest to understand.

Most other claims come from people who are dramatically misrepresenting/downplaying/exaggerating an actual true thing that happened, and that's a level of delusion that I find to be much more predictable.

WRT the "drug roulette party," consider that it's not about alignment, but that it's simply a memorable idea that people attribute to you and then fashion into a "better" story.

How do I get an invitation for these parties, Ms. Aella?

I think that part of the puzzle is that you are overestimating how much people reason from incentives/motives standpoint about others' actions and underestimating how often people are amazingly wrong about the incentives/motives of others
