You should make this a TED Talk.

Number 1 is the insight.
Why bother with anything at all if your action has no impact?
Exactly. That’s the most important normie commandment. Everything else just reinforces the worldview of the first.
I'm ok with 5, at least after some discomfort to get to that point.
A lot of them are merely a consequence of 4, which is like their foundationnal principle.
I think the majority of humans just go with the social environment. Most of their impulses are designed for that. A small percent go against it, the "dissidents", if you will. This creates mostly inertia but just a bit of change stimulus. Like a big boat in the ocean. Too much of the dissidents and the tribe is unstable. To few and it is too stagnant. Tribes have tended towards this balance.
With the subtle detail that they are unable to describe their behavior in such a rational way.
They simply act, and I believe the entire situation can be summarized as an inability to engage in meta-cognition.
have a Merry Christmas fam, day HODL/*
#7 is the most detrimental thought they have. They believe they must be led. They cannot imagine being self-governing.
That's probably what #1 is hinting at. Someone who has repeatedly used their creativity to gain some asymmetric advantage, will be more aware of the possibility for one person to make a profound impact.
I have a billionaire friend that I talk about this topic with often. We call it the wizard staff. You plant the wizard staff in the ground and watch reality bend around you. Or I have another mental model called the cardboard mall. Imagine a mall full of cardboard cutout people, who are only as real as you allow them to be. At any point in time you can simply decide to run through the mall at a full sprint knocking down every cardboard person in your way. The cutouts jeer at you. They make mean faces and murmur about you. They’re not pleased to be knocked down, but in the end they’re made of cardboard and there’s nothing they can do to stop you.
Having the same thoughts and opinions as the majority locks you into some sort of mental pattern where you can’t deviate. You become locked like an npc, but it also becomes easy to route around you.
You should create this lol
To change your mind—to learn—requires a willingness to venture into the unknown. The unknown is where all the monsters and dragons live, which is why most avoid it, but the hero knows that behind the dragon there is treasure (knowledge).
I refuse to believe that such people really exist
"The reasonable man adapts himself to the world: the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man."
The normies believe in KYC.
I'm just trying to get my raw milk farm to join nostr
One way to summarize many of these points:
Never do your own research.
Or:
Trust, don't verify.
Guys what an awesome convo.
Thanks both.
Only gay losers mute people.
Sorry
@🇵🇸 whoever loves Digit, I can't be bothered to do more.
Nah. A clean feed is a clean mind. I choose what I engage with. That’s the beauty of nostr. Some people provide no value to me. Others negative value.
lmao thanks
I wouldn't brag about having a smooth brain. The only "negative" value a person can provide to me is posting something that I'm too stupid to be able to cope with. Otherwise, "ignoring" has another interpretation besides pressing a button on a screen.
Reading mentally ill ramblings is net negative. I’ll pass thanks.
I just muted scoundrel😂. Imagine thinking everybody is obligated to sort through whatever drivel someone tries to insert into the feed 🚁🙄
Why not just ignore them manually then? Do you have self control? Why don't I seem to have the same problem as you?
You have a small account dude.
I don’t blame you lol It’s a super retarded position to hold
This will be remembered.
Yeah, that was pretty wild entitlement theory.
You're entitled to your safe space echo chamber, snowflake, don't worry.
For posterity's sake, here's my initial reply as well
View quoted note →I dont like this statement. It assumes that all adaptations inflicted on the world are positive ones.
It is unreasonable and arrogant in many cases, to presume that nature is imperfect, and that it can be improved on.
Some of the most destructive adaptations have arrisen through the arrogance of the medical fraternity.
Concise. Very quotable - most definitely, an extremely jarring shit list for many.
In book form.
Same!
Basically high time preference.
COVID was a big eye opener on the normie mindset.
A lack of critical thinking is the greatest plague
I'm pretty good at number 9...
I do!
How does that relate to my desire to keep certain peoples' posts in my feed?
I had some free time this morning and made a rough draft. Let me know what questions you'd like to see, what other memes you would like incorporated, or how the style could be improved.
Yes, that would definitely be a pretty retarded position. Did I say anything about an obligation to read posts or an entitlement to have one's posts read?
It just means you don’t have as many schizophrenic people following you as I do.
Lol. Good one!
What happened?
I think it’s good, funny.
Hmmm, got an 18 out of 20, so not bad, but the whole idea that there's one correct set of answers seems pretty normie 😁
THE REAL TEST IS WHO ZAPS THIS SHIT OR NOT!!!
We are all gods?
Is it true or false?
How is consumption instilled in the public education system?
true
true, but you can be a shitty one
18/20
Maybe I’m not a god lol
17/20 I'm not toxic enough.
The fact that you actually did the test proves you’re not toxic enough.
Fuck tests & test givers. Flip tables & break shit.
The concept of an "availability cascade" refers to a situation where a belief gains more and more credibility as it becomes more widely accepted, often due to social influence and the visibility of others' beliefs. This phenomenon can lead to a situation where individuals adopt a belief not necessarily based on its intrinsic validity, but rather because they observe others doing so.
In the context of algorithmic game theory, particularly in a "Location Game," the availability cascade can play a significant role in how players make decisions about their strategies. In a Location Game, players typically choose locations in a space to maximize their utility, which can depend on the choices of other players.
Here’s how the two concepts might be connected:
1. **Influence of Others' Choices**: In a Location Game, players may observe the choices of others and adjust their own strategies accordingly. If a particular location becomes popular (perhaps due to an availability cascade), more players may choose that location simply because they see others doing so, rather than evaluating the location's actual benefits.
2. **Equilibrium and Strategy**: The emergence of an availability cascade can lead to a new equilibrium in the game. If enough players converge on a particular strategy or location, it may become a dominant strategy, even if it was not the optimal choice initially. This can create a situation where players are locked into a suboptimal equilibrium due to the cascading effect of social influence.
3. **Information Asymmetry**: Players may not have complete information about the payoffs associated with different locations. The availability cascade can exacerbate this by leading players to overestimate the value of a location simply because it is popular, rather than based on objective analysis.
4. **Network Effects**: In many Location Games, the value of a location can increase as more players choose it (network effects). An availability cascade can amplify these effects, leading to rapid shifts in player behavior and location choice.
In summary, the availability cascade can significantly influence decision-making in Location Games by affecting how players perceive the value of different strategies based on the choices of others, potentially leading to suboptimal outcomes and new equilibria.
Fuck I've been had 😦

"We are all gods" - I didn't see the plural
Should probably change that one to "There is no god".
Responisibility
And privilage
It’s how we learn.
I've seen plenty of retarded, trash, and schizo posts. I've never encountered a person I'd benefit from muting. My mind doesn't need protection, and muting someone would just be an insulting myself. You seem pretty insistent that you aren't less capable than me, but what else could it be? Is there a difference between your schizos and mine?
I got 19/20 🥳
I don't disagree with any of this but think it can be simplified:
1. Follow the herd in all things
(because, for example, injecting yourself - let alone your children - with a novel genetic agent that the developers described as "building the plane while it was alreay flying" is *insanely risky*.. ..but if the herd does it it must be right)
I need to know what I got wrong!!
Baller alert!
Test takers are the most toxic. If you're afraid to fail you're afriad to win.
You are a god. I guarantee it.
You don't like zaps?
Maybe that should be #21. But I do think that there is a clear wrong and right.
Thanks fam. Would love suggestions to make it funnier though.
There is no god = we are all gods. The highest power is everything together.
I'm unfortunately not a very good dev lol
That encapsulates a huge chunk of normiedom, for sure.
The Godly man lives in the kingdom of Heaven
I wasn't sure if that's a trick question or not
Anyways, idk can you be a shitty god now, haha? Maybe if you're shitty god within you isn't manifesting at all
Exactly, if it doesn’t manifest it doesn’t mean is not there, he is just miserable following wrong principles
I LOVE ZAPS - I JUST SAW HODL REPOSTED THIS AND DIDN’T SEE HIS ZAP IS ALL :)
Based.
A lot of this comes down to sunk cost bias.
16/20
That was funny 😆
Because you haven’t set up your wallet! I tried to zap you cuz good comment
I won't lie, there were a couple I was decently sure I was getting wrong, still:
19/20 nice work on the test!
Question 21 should be “you reject this test and will make your own rules” - instant 20.
I do think that the argument on “multiple sets of right and wrong” does lean toward normie moral relativism. It’s complicated.
Just have to post this for the record
In changing yourself, you change the world. And the one thing you can master is yourself. So that's backwards, isn't it?
Bad test. The questions are mostly contingent on what you're talking about, but no further explanation is given.
Seems to be a test of whether the taker sees the same "anti-establishment" memes that the creator does. Real "sheep of the other flock" stuff.
Clearly created by someone who is in the upper levels of the iceberg.
# 5 is probably the worst, followed closely by # 6
hey Nolan, i miss your stuff/* how is the fam & all? Island life or back on the mainland? if U care 2 share only*/***

Normie's don't exist. No one trusts the system anymore. But we all behave as though we do.

It couldn't be done without #7.
Accurate, but not as commandments.
Commandments are written to be understood by their intended recipients.
My mum is visiting right now.
.. they also die a lot sooner.
NPC’s
Default pursuit of line of least resistance.
I would add
Others are responsible.
Long story short, be the contrarian
For sure. Some are still blind though
The people make the app, not the other way around.
🤘🏼
Yep. Take them day by day
The light you consume is the reason. Then diet.

The normie is he who occupies the dead center of the Overton window on any and every issue.
They are sardines. They will ultimately share the same fate.
Sounds like Nic Carter on Bloomberg a couple weeks ago ..
