@eigenrobot and I decided that our aim is to provide bespoke sensemaking to the ingroup as the mainstream narrative collapses under the weight of its own contradictions and the failure of prestige institutions that propped it up.

The fact that "providing sensemaking" is a thing somebody feels like they need to do, and that this resonates with a lot of people, is itself a profound indictment of the current information environment

I think it's much more normal than that if you like, s/sensemaking/storytelling/ or s/sensemaking/making art/ it feels a little more pressing now than during normal times I guess. our mainstream art and stories are really really bad.

"really really bad" is a kind of evasion, though. The problem is that they're naked propaganda. It's just unavoidable and undeniable now. No aspect of media, no obscure hobby is left untouched at this point.

Like, I even agree with some (maybe most) of the propaganda! That's not the issue. I just want to be left alone, or to even assert that right. More and more it feels like people would rather have me dead than let me be.pic.twitter.com/n6gwggk2Bf

yeah well I have complex feelings about what propaganda even means but I agree wholeheartedly with you basic point and would grant you at least that this propaganda is especially bad and hostile-to-humans propaganda :)

Trad take: All storytelling is propaganda. So we need to drive out the bad kind with the good kind. The kind that teaches children to respect their parents, mistrust strangers, and behave morally, like any fairytale involving a wolf
