    —“Just as there are always criminals acting in their self interest at the expense of the group, not everyone a group is capable of long time horizon decisions for the betterment of that group. And so there must be a discriminatory process that prevents them from having a voice. In fact it seems likely that the super-majority of any population can’t make a good decision for that population… sad but true.”—Greg Hamilton

  • STOICISM IS INTUITIVE AND ABSENT ANY WOO WOO. THE ANSWER TO A BLUE PILLED WORLD

    STOICISM IS INTUITIVE AND ABSENT ANY WOO WOO.

    THE ANSWER TO A BLUE PILLED WORLD

    by James Santagata

    What is powerful about Stoicism is that forces us to maintain an INTERNAL locus of control along with high agency. At the same time, filtering out emotions by considering what we have rather than what we don’t and aligning with natural law allow us to think, calculate and act in the most efficient, effective manner possible. Conserving energy, creating the smallest emotional wake (for ourselves and others, thus mitigating or eliminating negative 2nd and 3rd order effects) and economizing motion as well as emotion.

    What I love about this stuff, is that many of us, me including, stumbled on this, as the only thing that made sense in a Blue-Pilled world- and it is so comforting to say, “omg, this is actually a fully formed philosophy”. BUT we have the added advantage of neuroscience and 2.000 years of accumulated history to take it even further. Love it.

    And with microeconomics, and nanoeconomics, and behavioral economics.

    We have the Holy Grail.

    We can now mathematically model Stoicism and we understand not just ourselves but everyone we interact with, through (as you are wont to say) incentives, we can look at max and min as well as elasticity / inelasticity through microeconomics and with all this granular data, we can look at nanoeconomisc (individual transaction) and then set all this against behavioral economisc / neuroeconomics and see that Stoicism is the way forward and we can improve it Stoicism 2.0 but added a few things and emphasizing a few others.

    (Omg, I’m gonna orgasm.)

    GOOD PROPAGANDA MUST BE TRUE
    via Cole Williams

    —“… Good propaganda does not need to lie, indeed it may not lie. It has no reason to fear the truth. It is a mistake to believe that the people cannot take the truth. They can. It is only a matter of presenting the truth to people in a way that they will be able to understand. A propaganda that lies proves that it has a bad cause. It cannot be successful in the long run. A good propaganda will always come along that serves a good cause. But propaganda is still necessary if a good cause is to succeed. A good idea does not win simply because it is good. It must be presented properly if it is to win. The combination makes for the best propaganda. Such propaganda is successful without being obnoxious. It depends on its nature, not its methods. It works without being noticed. Its goals are inherent in its nature. Since it is almost invisible, it is effective and powerful. A good cause will lose to a bad one if it depends only on its rightness, while the other side uses the methods of influencing the masses. We are, for example, firmly convinced that we fought the war for a good cause, but that was not enough. The world should also have known and seen that our cause was good. However, we lacked the effective means of mass propaganda to make that clear to the world. Marxism certainly did not fight for great ideals. Despite that, in November 1918 it overcame Kaiser, Reich, and the army because it was superior in the art of mass propaganda…” – Dr. Joseph Goebbels.

    How do I convert my profile to a Facebook Page?

    By creating a Page, you can use more tools and share with a wider audience. Converting your profile to a Page creates a new Facebook Page that’s based on your profile. You can only convert your profile to a Page once.

    When you convert your profile to a Page:

    You’ll have both a profile and a Page after conversion.

    We’ll transfer your profile picture and cover photo to the Page, and the name on your profile will become the Page’s name.

    You can select from your friends, followers and pending friend requests and add them as your new Page’s followers. See more information in the section below.

    You can choose which photos and videos to copy over from your profile, but keep in mind that views and other metrics remain with your profile and can’t transfer to the Page.

    If you convert a verified profile, the verified status will be moved from the profile to the Page.

    You can preview all changes before publishing your new Page.

    When you’ve finished setting up your new Page, we’ll ask you to check your privacy settings on your profile to make sure you’re sharing what you want to share.

    To convert your profile to a Facebook Page:

    Go to Create a Facebook Page Based on Your Profile.

    Click Get Started and follow the on-screen instructions.

    Your new Page will automatically publish once the conversion process is finished. To change this setting, click to select Off next to Publish Page when done at the top.

    What Happens to My Friends, Followers and Pending Friend Requests When I Convert to a Page?

    Once your new Page is published:

    Your profile’s followers, friends and friend requests will get notified that you’ve created a new Page.

    The profile followers you choose will automatically follow the new Page and will be removed from following your profile.

    Friends and pending friend requests you select will automatically like and follow the new Page, and won’t be removed from your profile.

    ✔️ How to Verify a Page or Profile on Facebook: Blue And

    This post originally appeared on my blog: How to get verified on Facebook.

    The process of verifying a page or a profile on Facebook is very simple. In a nutshell you need 2 things: 1) you need great press and 2) a compelling reason.

    You might be wondering if you need a lot of followers to get verified. This doesn’t seem to be the case.

    First, not everyone can be verified, unfortunately. According to Facebook’s Support Team only people in the following categories can be verified with a badge:

    Journalists
    Popular Brand or Businesses
    Government Officials
    Celebrities
    Media
    Entertainment
    Sports Companies

    If you fall in these categories, there is a higher chance that you can be verified.

    Pro tip: If your personal facebook page is not in this category, you can always change it to “Public Figure” by going to About > Category.

    After you’ve done that, follow these steps:

    Link to your profile or Page from your official website.
    For a Facebook Page, different types of basic information will appear in your Page’s About section depending on your Page’s category. It’s important to add accurate details so that people can quickly learn about your Page. Make sure to add your website, awards, bio, and more. The more complete it is, the better.

    For a Facebook profile, provide accurate information in your profile. Include in your About section a website address that is registered in your name. Make your profile public by default so that people can follow it. Have at least a few hundred followers (~500) before requesting a badge.

    Contact Facebook and get verified. Make sure to include a government-issued ID (US IDs work best, a passport will do too).

    Write a compelling reason as to why you should be verified. Everyone’s case is different so I won’t tell you what to write. Here you should include your website and links to relevant press articles or a Wikipedia page.

    Wait 2-5 days to hear back from Big Brother Facebook.
    If you got your verification request rejected it is most likely due to the following reasons:

    You don’t have enough features on the press. -> Learn how to get featured on Forbes, Techcrunch, etc.

    You don’t have a Wikipedia. FYI, to get a Wiki, you first need press.

    You didn’t write a compelling reason or the ID you provided was blurry or not appropriate.


    From Facebook’s support: “If your Page’s category is Local Business, Company or Organization, your Page may be eligible for a gray verification badge. If you’re an admin, your Page has a profile picture and cover photo, and is eligible, you’ll see this option in your Page’s Settings.” To verify your Page, you can use your business’s publicly listed phone number or a business document (example: phone bill).

    The steps to follow are:

    Click Settings at the top of your Page
    Click General
    Go to Page Visibility, then click Edit
    Click Verify this Page, then click Get Started
    Enter a publicly listed phone number for your business, your country and language
    Click Call Me Now to allow Facebook to call you with a verification code
    Enter the 4-digit verification code and click Continue
    Note: If you don’t see the “verify this page” it is because Facebook hasn’t rolled out the feature to all users just yet.

    Benefits of having a blue or grey badge
    Instant EGO boost (come on, you feel good when you see it)
    Boosts credibility in your business or imageUsers will know they are interacting with the real page
    Verified pages will rank higher on Facebook’s search results.
    Is it worth it?

    I don’t really think so, as most of the benefit will only be that you can brag to your friends about it. Not much more than that, in my opinion. I rather suggest you invest your time creating amazing value for your followers.

    —

    So there you have it, this is the way to verify a page on Facebook: get press and follow the steps. If we aren’t connected on LinkedIn yet, don’t hesitate to send me a connection request.
