The Like a Psychopath meme is very log-level, that’s why I like it I think
Conversation
The interesting thing is that you can choose any phenomenological basis for the abstraction stack and land on wildly divergent psychopath ground-truths for the same topic.
So the meme can be anywhere from purist to pragmatic, doerist to idealist, virtue signal to vice signal...

Take these candidate like-a-psychopath (LAP) lines for politics:
Owning the libs, LAP
Canceling people, LAP
Actually helping people, LAP
Actually winning elections, LAP
Actually passing legislation, LAP
Modeling virtue, LAP
Signaling virtue, LAP
You could stack on any of these

The unironic ones are the most hilarious. They sincerely attempt to retreat from a premium mediocrity vector to an authenticity ground, but end up just going off on a new premium mediocrity vector they’re blind to 😂
Hey analyze this

Tagging you for insight into the meme itself. Log level is my gloss on it which you can ignore.
(Log level = relativist generalization of object level plus an abstraction level of base signifiers)

I’m really enjoying just getting aggressively weird with them fwiw
