1. This is amazing 2. I had never considered the idea of careerism as “immunity” to knowledge sharing. That’s an incredibly powerful insight. You could consider toxic members in any community have similar effects.

Thanks Sam. I agree that #2 is particular interesting. I see the same dynamic e.g. in
@Meaningness's Geeks, Mops, and Sociopaths model (https://meaningness.com/geeks-mops-sociopaths …), where the mops and sociopaths eventually dilute the geek network near to death.1 reply 1 retweet 12 likes -

Would it be easy to add a slider for the density of dead nodes? I treat to dig into the js to adjust it, but React spaghettified the code.

There's an "Immunity" percentage slider on a few of the widgets, which controls the overall density of dead nodes (see e.g. attached). I left it off of some simulations (for simplicity), but could add it back. Is that what you're referring to? Or something else?pic.twitter.com/ocacUEdzBc

I meant the last one—I don’t see a slider for the % careerists? (possibly one of my 73 security plugins has screwed it up?)

Not sure you’ve seen this slightly-famous opinion piece… I don’t agree with all of the details (or possibly even most of them) but the headline is dead to rights: https://blogs.plos.org/speakingofmedicine/2012/06/25/less-research-is-needed/ …
