I think this resonates with @Aelkus thread from earlier in the day. People really undervalue how much the funhouse mirrors distort perception. Outside looking in, people see obvious grift or projection. But, inside looking out...it can be Kaufman-esque.

I think we agree. And, the grift *is* extremely pervasive. But a lot of the people in my feed -- and me, sometimes too -- experience a cathartic release in calling things a grift, and mistakenly assume they're somehow inoculated from similar seduction. https://twitter.com/Aelkus/status/1108006821560758272 …

That depends on the social environment that envelops you too, though. E.g., on here, my network is more leftist, so that baseline is omnipresent and useful, but risks people forgetting that their motivations can produce similar fuckery, too.
