I often wonder if the stupid shit on this site is little more than reifying humanity's variance itself. I also wonder the desire to possess clean, accurate data seems to have invaded society writ large and that's scary. But also I wonder lots of things that are wrong.

I asked ole
@Brett_Fujioka when we had lunch last week if Azuma had ever updated his database concept for the various kinds of databases that have come around lately. Is this a metaphor that can be expanded? What are the consequences.2 replies 0 retweets 1 like -
Replying to @Nick_Lalone @Brett_Fujioka
My work isn't based on Azuma, but in retrospect it follows a similar trajectory. A huge part (I think) is that people forget how much of what beliefs are *isn't* instrumental, it's for social organization.

So when twitter (etc) endlessly surfaces sub-cultures, the emergent signaling/differentiating aspect happens a lot more. People are remixing their ideas about different groups and stereotypes while talking about beliefs, but not necessarily with awareness of the former!
