    In the new Taylor Swift documentary, she says “my entire moral code is the need to be perceived as good” and I’m going to be thinking about this until I die.

        This whole documentary is about the externalities of optimization, the discontents of calculative rationality, and it is FASCINATING.

        When she talks about suffering under the demand to constantly reinvent ... that's life as a subject of interests baybeee (cf. Winnubst)pic.twitter.com/Jwn46kGSzV

        i found that really disturbing, that she seems to care more about seeming good than being good, though i guess it also makes sense from the POV of someone whose entire life has been focused on being looked at and evaluated

        Totally and I think the doc does an effective job of animating all these things at once.

        I appreciate this tweet, esp cause looking thru many of the responses below, most men find this mentality easy to criticize, as if it's something she consciously prioritized. Anyone who grew up under this moral code, and esp women, knows how hard this lie is to debunk.

        Absolutely! I grew up with a lot of guilt and all it produced was an emphasis on appearing good rather than fixing the world and clearly this is something Taylor struggles with.

        I think the documentary does a great job, though, of showing how this outlook, beyond a personal defect, is a side-effect of this drive to perfect, to optimize, the very machinery that makes her successful; it’s like ideological chemical waste.

        one thing I’ve always found interesting about her is that she is debilitatingly image conscious but doesn’t care about that being obvious

        Yes! It's like she just takes this for granted that everyone thinks this way and ... to a certain extent, she's not wrong. But, at least from this doc, she goes way beyond that and she has to, like, detox from it.
