      My friends, these are perilous times; we find certain styles of thinking, certain ideas, certain opinions which were commonplace and accepted in our living memory have now been so stigmatized that even to name them becomes an exercise in horror, fraught with fear

      The horror of these forbidden thoughts is twofold: first is the horror of cognitive dissonance, of the contradiction between official truth and one’s own perceptions. Second is the horror of social control, of seeing just how malleable our collective reality is

      And in some sense these horrors have found a new life and a new opportunity in this abstract space we inhabit together. Lately we find that our proprietors in this space are keen to exorcise our certain ideas and thoughts, so we must ask ourselves, what is THEIR horror?

      We are nowhere near–nowhere, despite appearances–a situation where our certain forbidden thoughts will be able to pass into the world of bodies and atoms.

      For now this is all a fever dream. So again, why do they ban us? We have our own “everyone knows” and our greatest desire is for our own private social stock of knowledge to become the stock of consensus reality.https://twitter.com/0x49fa98/status/1078104449946533889 …

      In one of his most famous stories, Borges wrote about a fictional city named Tlön, in a country called Uqbar, on a planet called Orbis Tertius. The story of Tlön is the story of a book that, by its gravity, reshapes the whole of the world

      On what grounds do you believe this is our greatest desire? Alternative question: who in particular desires to see their private knowledge manifest as consensus reality?

      Excellent question. As with many things I say, it is a bit of hyperbole, but also true IMO. I base this assertion on a gut feeling which I derive from what I observe, how people endlessly and voraciously squabble over who is right, even when it is utterly meaningless to be right

      I might suggest that a minority of people do the majority of the squabbling (the "intellectual" class, such as ourselves...). Most seem to have other desires, often within the domain of identity (rooted in social reality, being "seen as") instead of upon social reality itself.

      I'm not sure there's a meaningful difference between the desire to be "seen as" and to be in control of social reality - if you can decide how people can be seen based on different traits, you can directly make yourself be seen a certain way.

      So our desire for control over consensus is an insecure desire for status - we don't have faith in our ability to be popular, so we redefine popular.

          I agree with this analysis, but why do you claim the distinction between "become popular" and "redefine popular" isn't significant?

          They're different behaviors, but come from the same desire. So if you want to examine what people want, they're the same.
