I super don't though, I would be happy if I could get people off their butts to do some fun rituals though ;)

All dictators "just" want people to do something *they* think is fun. See how you snuck "fun" in there?

I don't want anybody to do it who doesn't think it's fun, but I don't think its non-funness is what's preventing people from doing it

there are transaction costs in cooperation - dictatorship is one way to overcome (short term), I'm interested in other ways

Another is the market. Unfortunately, that works a little too well and reveals precisely how much people WANT to cooperate

paying people to do rituals with you seems deeply unsatisfying - markets are awesome for some things but not for others

@ckhonson Wanting *everybody* to turn off Internet (from no-cellphones-meeting to North Korea) is however a) values b) evil

I mean more to say cultivating the ability to separate internet-reality from actual-reality.

@ckhonson Not sure what you're getting at. Sounds like legislated digital dualism or something. I don't *want* to separate.
