      wonder if becoming a "good" country/hooman requires the requisite steps of being a "bad" country/hooman just like being good at cooking/piano/math/etc.. requires first being "bad" at those thingshttps://twitter.com/a_yawning_cat/status/1296746214025646080 …

      You can't get "I'm good at drawing" feelings when they're locked behind first having to feel "I'm bad at drawings". If you're afraid of feeling bad or stupid, you never get good.

      this would explain the aversion to another taking the moral high ground. it's not that it is indefensible or even hypocritical but that it's oblivious to the mechanism that created the superiority

      it makes legible an insurmountable gap that only grows larger and larger even as absolute benefits rise for everyonehttps://twitter.com/a_yawning_cat/status/1366808418980229120?s=20 …

      however access to the same growth rates doesn't actually resolve the problem of increasing inequality over time! pic.twitter.com/7KlM03DxYO

      though this "unfair" exponential is a part of nature, nature equalizes the process through death. the dying tree or whale carcass becomes new lifehttps://twitter.com/a_yawning_cat/status/1399150763239034882?s=20 …

      intuition on e, euler's number 2.718 if u make a copy of urself you start from 1 and end up with 2. if all the copies do this again u end up with 4, 8, 16, and so on. this is exponential growth 2^x

      so it's not that morality lorded over another is intrinsically "bad". a good teacher or mentor or even a figure like batman uses their superiority in a "pleasing" way it's when it's combined with a belief in immortality and perpetual infallibility
