Yes, this is a dark end-times version of the Gervais principle. In this case, I self-classify into loser layer at the bottom. I suspect this layer is going to begin quitting en masse post-Epstein. If their fears are well-founded, they will conclude Hobbesian bloodshed is better.

It is interesting to ask how this bottom layer will act in case it does lean into Hobbesian war. This is the group that genuinely wants to help, is not interested in profiteering or carpetbagging, and tolerates but does not believe in futile bot scripts like virtue signaling.

I suspect they'll take to some sort of Schndler's Ark playbook. Protect yourself, avoid direct conflict and signaling wars, do what you can locally to protect/help the vulnerable in immediate reach.

Is this a comment on the Walter Mosley / Discovery thing?

No idea what that is. More a comment on the Media Lab/Epstein thing.

I consider myself meta-woke. I acknowledge the harmful systems, and view wokeness as a natural backlash amplified by media optimized for engagement. The bullied found a means of fighting back, and it looks a lot like bullying. But the shit they're responding to is real.

There are equilibriums being shifted. If you want out, though, you need to achieve escape velocity into meta. Get above it, observe the landscape, and see the systems. Don't buy too hard into one narrative or another.

Where are everyone else, tho? It seems to me most of left at least kowtows to woke. Are all of them one of the three?
-
Yes. Most are at the bottom layer.
