In reality, people seem to follow these lessons.
Lesson 1: Never read the article—why bother when the title is all you need to fuel your righteous fury?
Lesson 2: Craft your response based solely on the title, preferably in all caps to ensure everyone knows you mean business.
Lesson 3: When engaging with comments, remember that everyone else is always wrong; they are part of a grand conspiracy against your unparalleled wisdom.
Lesson 4: You’re not just right; you’re a beacon of truth in a sea of misguided souls. Let that light shine, unburdened by facts or logic.
Lesson 5: Insults are the spice of life. Aim for at least two per sentence, and bonus points if you can weave in a creative metaphor involving farm animals.
Lesson 6: Always assume the worst intentions. If someone agrees with you, they’re obviously being sarcastic. If they disagree, they’re a troll.
Lesson 7: Grammar and spelling are for the weak. Your ideas are so powerful they transcend the need for coherent sentence structure.
On the other hand, people pull off some of the crazies stunts and accidents without getting killed.
Let’s say you’re flying on plane that has bomb onboard. The explosion shreds the plane to a million pieces in mid-air and everyone dies… right? Not necessarily.
Just look at the kinds of things babies do, and ask yourself: “Is this the kind of stuff you want to remember as an adult?” Remembering my teenage years is embarrassing enough as it is.
Also plot armor should take care of any disasters along the way. No worries. Just press the button and let’s go!
Either it happens, or it doesn’t. I’d say that’s exactly 50/50.
Let’s say I milk your cows today so that you can take care of other business today, and now you owe me a favor. Next week, I could ask you to repay me by giving me a enough milk, bread and eggs to last two days. What if the value of that favor changes based on supply and demand? What if I can later ask you to repay me with 10 days worth of food instead? What if that value can drop to just a mug of milk, 1 egg and no bread? Could that sort of value fluctuation even happen? Can’t really wrap my head around that, but in the crypto world that’s exactly what happens all the time.
The human brain really seems to be built for small communities. Once the village you live in is bigger than about 150 people, all sorts of weird things begin to happen. Some people no longer feel like they’re a part of the same group as everyone else. They begin to feel like they can get away with anything, maybe even steal something, or hurt other people. Being greedy doesn’t feel wrong any more, altruism feels like a weakness etc.
I’ve been thinking about these things, and I’ve come to the conclusion that the world we live in is not optimized for the human mind or physiology. We’ve specifically designed a world that is bad for us in a number of ways.
I like to think of it this way. Plugging in a USB-A connector is like observing a qubit in superposition—once you attempt it, the superposition collapses, and you instantly know if you were in the right orientation or if you need to flip to the opposite one!
And just like conditional probabilities in quantum mechanics, the first try has a 30% chance of being right and a 70% chance of being wrong. But here’s the kicker: when the connector isn’t touching the port, it resets to a superposition, and the probabilities shift to 60% right and 30% wrong. That’s why even the third try isn’t guaranteed to be correct. As the number of attempts increases, the cumulative probability of eventually getting it right approaches 100%
No. Also some crazy things like project 2025 are entirely public, so those aren’t conspiracies either. When discussing scary things like that, you can just point to the facts and calmly explain what they mean.
Yeah, friction and convenience need to be balanced. Most people don’t even think about where they should draw the line. Sparking conversation about it can be useful, because once you’ve thought about it a little bit, you can make a conscious decision to sacrifice your data for convenience purposes… or slide down the rabbit hole and become a privacy hermit. Either way, making a conscious decision is better than going with the flow.
It’s a bit risky, for sure. You just need to express your point in a calm and professional manner. Appeal to common sense or ethics, stick with the facts, and you should be able to find common ground with most people. You’ll be fine as long as you don’t use aggressive language, or go into crazy conspiracies.
It can also be a good conversation starter. Some people genuinely don’t know or care about the social media corporations spying on us. You can have some interesting conversations with them.
And so is alchemy. Useful and useless concepts were intertwined at the time, and it took centuries figure out what to keep and what to discard. Well, some individuals still held on to the trash ideas, while the rest of the world moved on.
I tend to do that with real life objects. For example, I might snap a photo of a price tag in a store, walk over to the next store and compare prices.

When pixel count doesn’t matter, that’s probably the easiest way to do it.
Well that’s an interesting thought. Care to elaborate how parties fail? Is the whole idea of parties rotten, or just the application of it?
And when the schedule is off, you get worried. Could it be a sign about the next crop? Should we have planted something else instead? Was it a mistake to marry this lady… So many questions.
I think there are also some interesting similarities with Mussolini. Just think of the role media played. Trump was really active on Twitter, while Mussolini used Il Popolo d’Italia newspaper to spread his message.
