        A problem with identity is that it is MY story and as such it needs to be GOOD and thus coherent. It HAS to make sense given whatever is in the field of consciousness. This leads to contorted plot devices that disrupt the ability to sense-make & predict the future.

        Here's how you cheaply train a dog. You use a different brand of kibble as the reward instead of treats. As long as it's given out in a rarer amount than their regular food, the dog will see it as a status symbol. Status symbols are mostly COMMUNICATED through difficulty/rarity

        Bad investing is mostly about bad time horizons and sexiness pressure concerns within the avg lifespan of a social group contribute the most to this.https://twitter.com/a_yawning_cat/status/1347234287846768640?s=20 …

        main reason younglings r bad at investing is b/c "everything is about sex except sex". the time horizons for groups of friends is usually on the order of a few years. E.g. 4-ish for college, highschool, jobs, etc... the time horizons are too small.

        some intuition around what "market price" is. it's the same as asking for "market rate" when you pass a job interview. what is it? heck if anyone knows. it's just "I don't know my value so I can't ask for very much but I don't want to be lowest paid guy."

        the true feeling of "not being good enough" is not an anxiety ridden desire for redemption but the "I want to do that again!" feeling of having exited flow too soon and desiring a return to it for longer periods of time w/ higher mastery.

        God as a verb vs as a nounhttps://twitter.com/a_yawning_cat/status/1357332229307781123?s=20 …

        it’s not that “God” is specifically masculine imo but that the fall of faith is generally due to the disillusionment of the First Father figure. the feminine is “all around”, ships, countries, Gaia, etc... so can’t be “lost” in the same way.

        freedom of religion kills religion the same way allowing 2+2=5 as a valid discourse greatly damages the ability for signal to rise above noise. a blanket statement like “everyone can just believe what they want” without a million caveats can be dangerous in very subtle ways.
