90. Most bad politics arises out of bad literary tastes, as in enjoying stories about stereotypes. Good politics arises out of pattern matching archetypes while they still have "alpha" (predictive power) with a tasteful literary sensibility

91. Stereotypes are real, and there is always a subset of every stereotyped population that actually willingly conforms to that stereotype, performing it with an aggressive deadness. These dead player zombies are the core of all politics. All politics is about seeing dead people.

92. All Straussians are wrong about almost everything just by virtue of being Straussian and being unable to come to terms with the central (heh!) role of mediocrity in the human condition. Their Noble Lies are mainly to themselves.

93. Zizek is correct. The Normie ideology is cynicism, and conversely, all ideology turns into cynicism by the time it goes normie. This is why Noble Lie political philosophy is bs because there is no unawakened consciousness laboring under from it. http://www.autodidactproject.org/other/cynzizek.html …

95. Opinion stolen from someone I've forgotten who: SE Asia has the potential to be the political laboratory of the future due to its diversity and topography (archipelago). One ideology tested per island, each with a Big Tech sponsor?

Sean Aubin @voyageur_techno24. Joe Edelman told me that the people without any "takes" (regardless of temperature) should be the ones leading/controlling a discussion. He calls this Turtleocracy https://www.notion.so/Turtleocracy-47a6df7692bf4e95a39504a73a50a295 … I want to try this at least once in the next year.Show this thread1 reply 0 retweets 2 likesShow this thread -

Gonna slow-walk these last 4 to the finish line and try to be first-in-last-out. For 97, let’s rerun an oldie https://twitter.com/vgr/status/1073751685212692480?s=21 …https://twitter.com/vgr/status/1073751685212692480 …

Replying to @vgr
I think about this tweet almost every day, it haunts me. I just don't know if I, as someone who is able to handle the load, should try to push civilisation further. If not me then who? If not now then when?
