      1/ Individualism vs collectivism an ideological binary. It's not a law of nature, human or otherwise.

      2/ People want it to be either-or because it simplifies complex reality in a way that allows them to skip all the hard thinking that goes into judgment.

      3/ Once you collapse the continuum into a binary, you're going to be wrong. More than that, you're probably going to be more than you would have if you actually took the time to try and carefully form independent evaluations.

      4/ It rains about 61 out of 365 days a year in Palo Alto. If I always say, "it's not raining," I'll be right more often than not. If I look out the window before making my statement, I'll find myself closer to the episodic truth.

      5/ A bit more critically, even the spectrum itself is a bit of a mirage. True collectivism requires denial of variance in who we are. True individualism requires denying any human interaction.

      6/ In any case, the environment we find ourselves in is mostly and increasingly of our human social design. That extremely complex environment both liberates and constrains us in varying ways, and society is the attempt at finding a robust and *good* balance.

      7/ Libertarians tend to try solving for the complexity by assuming it away: local information processing is *always* better and errors are always uncorrelated. Markets aren't merely a human information processing artifact, but the (preter)-natural one.https://twitter.com/microjudgments/status/1080890158004633600 …

      8/ People on the left (more broadly) solve for the complexity by assuming it away: encoding desired virtues into the social artifacts at design time is sufficient for achieving such aims, in a consequence free way, and the great leap forward is necessarily on its way.

      9/ A healthy ideology is a prior. It encodes your experiences, inferences, and deductions. When you start using that prior as the final arbiter instead of something that weights your a contextualized posterior, it becomes something else.

          10/ It's all hard. We're not going to figure it out. The environment is ever changing. Things collapse at scale when we stop trying and negotiating. And assuming either-or is what that looks like.
