Like--consider (eg) kerfuffle over TBC. My guess is the main lay objection reduces to "you're going to use this to get an edge on me." And I'm not sure that's an invalid concern, honestly! Point is that normie spectrum folks are relatively, especially predisposed . . .

. . . to view abstractions as social plays and there's nothing to be done about it but avoid letting your threatening abstractions leak to the MOPs. Once it's out, defending it as an *idea* is pointless, because the MOPs aren't interacting to an idea but to a social danger.

Could be a function of social sensitivity… related: https://academic.oup.com/scan/article/5/2-3/203/1664339 … For those higher in social sensitivity, 'truth' may be more relativized to its projected social utility or ramifications thereof.
