it is tempting to group hoomans based on factors like external characteristics or mental ability or historical achievement. however the real marker of similarity is size and scope of distribution networks

e.g. the common engineer hooman believes that it has sth in common with elon musk, just slightly less heroic. however, elon musk has more in common with kim kardashian bc their distribution networks r more comparable in size (though scope and audience demographics r diff)

do not the judge the hooman by what it says but by the size and direction of the speakerphone attached to its lips

at the highest levels, the speakerphones have enough audience overlap that identities are kaleidoscoped through EVERY speakerphone. this binds the speakers into an allyship even if they fundamentally disagree on fundamental things

this is bc the identity that spreads along a distribution network is not the “real” identity that is brought into focus when interacting w the physical hooman but a “godlike” projection similar to the perfection and good lighting all many social media avatar photos

without allyship with similarly powerful speakers, you end up in a shouting match with other “gods” and everyone knows. gods do not shout. they do not have to.

while mad men vie for control over territories of attention the female hooman has a very different kind if distribution network
