      This feeling of heightened everyday meaning via intimate pack is what I attempted to capture here.https://mobile.twitter.com/simpolism/status/1027988446218993664 …

      I recall my time in the normie-sphere as a joyous high. We'd float through time, secure and together, content even in failure.

      Move up a level from the pack. People who most identify with their troop are concerned with local affairs, hobby-posting, job-posting, etc. This is still considered reasonably normal.

      The distinction between imagined community and tribe is not entirely clear to me, so I'll refrain from trying to exactly disambiguate. But move further up and you get into ideology, politics, philosophy: discussions which cannot conclude. This is most of "toxic Twitter".

      But the problem for many of us is how to "move back down". When you grapple with issues of ideology and philosophy, oh how banal one's hobbies and life can feel!

      There is a feeling of power when one engages in large scale dialectics, topics that affect larger groups. It can be intoxicating.

      The problem is that playing large-scale language games means tradeoffs. Few win at all, winning is mostly zero-sum, and winners often have their messages distorted and abused. Such is the cost of mythological transcendence!

      The only way to work back down is to play smaller games you enjoy. I recently did a "music pact" with a friend: make and share 30 seconds of music a day.

      This small music exchange pact added a significant amount of meaning to my day to day life. But it was done over the Internet, which made it harder to help each other through rough patches. We gave up after a few weeks.

      Little accountability games: they're the sort of thing that seem so easy but are challenging to organize. I value having day-to-day freedom, but what if this saps my sense of meaning? At some point we each need to just pick something and DO it.

      I never did recover a my pack, and the transient nature of NYC makes it even harder. But I feel hopeful that someday I'll make it work.

      Curious why you left your pack? Was it not fulfilling its purpose for you any more?

          What happens when the ostracized member is part of your pack? You must choose to participate in the ostracism or be ostracized yourself.

          Gah I'm sorry, that sucks. Admirable of you though.

          Thanks. It was a choice between a big group containing many of my friends and a single very close friend who'd actually done some egregious stuff. So it wasn't too hard a choice. But it's still traumatic.
