As far as I know, all emotions and all language is just negotiation and the underlying motivations for all human behavior are tragically trivial: acquisition at escalating discount. Everything else is just moralizing to war (negotiate).

And third, it’s free advertising of virtue signals in the age of woke religion and competition by virtue signal spirals. So where people who lack agency seek psychology those with agency see simple utility.

(I had this same conversation with Paul Gottlieb 20 years ago. Psychologizing behiavior in freudian terms is almost always a frame of those who are weak. For the strong it’s a simple digestiable non-aggression signal providing armor against criticism that hurts opportunities.)

A thing is not what it pretends or claims, but how it acts. Islam claims it is a religion of peace, and Christianity claims it is a religion of masculine paternalism and bravery, and Judaism claims to be chosen by god. All three of these claims are the opposite of the truth.

@white_powerade@Bangoob You say this because your life expereince convinces you that your agency is the limit of anyone’s agency. It’s reasonable, it’s normal, but its false. There is nothing separating us from the founders, mussolini, marx, lenin, or mao but choice to repeat their methods but for the opposite purposes – their defeat.

We are all afflicted by the tendencies to (a) think we are representative of common sense (b) other people think and feel similarly to us, (c) and we associate with people who do, (d) therefore we continuously develop positive reinforcement of cognitive falsehoods.

EXAMPLE OF WHEN MEN ARGUE AS WOMEN – AND EXPLAINING WHY IT MATTERS
-“Even your opinions wrong.”- a hostile
I pretty much never err. It’s my job not to. I do make one mistake on a regular basis – I overestimate the common man, and in particular, I underestimate the degree to which a third of the male sex was born with female personality and cognitive traits. (“Men without chests”)
-“Even your follow up opinion is wrong”-
And you respond with a cognitively female expression of disapproval in the absence of testifiable argument rather than a male expression of truth or falsehood by use of a testifiable argument. … Like I said. I don’t err.
-“And you continue to miss the point”-
Again: female cognitive bias from female personality traits by avoiding questions of truth or falsehood. My point is, and will remain, that the sexes demonstrate marginal indifference in task processing other than preference but vast differences in intuition and accountability in social and political performance. (It’s the science). So you have to ask yourself why you’re lying and denying,evading and ad hom, disapproval instead of argument. The reason is, as I stated because you’re demonstrating cognitively female traits – not education, information, cognitive, and testimonial discipline. And you continue to miss the point: Truth permits reciprocal exchange. Truth evasion avoids reciprocity and produces a race to the bottom. There is a reason for western civilization’s historical hyper innovation and adaptation: “Truth Before Face Regardless of Cost.” So in simple terms, you’re a social tax evader. Failing to pay the normative and behavioral tax of truth before face regardless of cost, that is necessary for the jury, for rule of law, for democracy,and for the high trust society that produces disproportionate economic velocity.

@Bangoob There are many ways to influence a population by means of suggestion. The suggestion of competence, insight, or authority that feeds the tendency of traumatized people to suspect conspiracies, and to respond with moral indignation inspiring and justifying their righteous retaliation is one of the best methods of all.
To the degree someone may have had signal intelligence inside the white house – we might claim that was indeed a possibility. To the degree that it was used to promote inspiration agitation, hope, and cope was a possibility.
To the degree that there was any organization of common interest within the administration or the state to support it appears to have been unlikely. Had such an organization of common interest existed, the failure of the capitol raid to deliver demands that would justify their action leaves the responsibility on the activists.
So my assessment at present is the most skeptical: that it was an agitprop joke or test, that turned into a movement, because it got traction for the reasons I stated above.
I didn’t follow it although I did have people actively keeping me informed. From that information, I didn’t see anything that wasn’t constructivist (causal relations were implied not demonstrated). The only evidence I’ve seen is that one individual may have had access to spaces and communications. There are plenty of low-level people in that information stream. I don’t want to dismiss the phenomenon or try to refute it because the momentum is valuable. I don’t want to claim it’s supportable because there is no information that makes it supportable.
If it turns out to be something more I would be pleasantly surprised. 😉
