You’re all spouting philosophical bollocks.pipe down and be nice.”— No, if enough people do that then they are overwhelmed by the people who don’t. High trust is advantageous in-group but a tragic weakness outgrip. That’s just (a) operational analysis, and (b) empirical evidence. You cannot model a polity, set of polities, or all polities as naive extensions of the family. And that is what you are doing. People compete for advantage at all times, and the value of high trust dissipates rapidly outside of family and community.

  • Progressives Feel Unique, Emotional, Anxious (Mothers To Children). Conservatives Feel Groupish, Success, And Religion (Groupis

    (via James Santagata) —“From Twitter. Based on previous findings, we hypothesized that the language used by liberals emphasizes their perception of uniqueness, contains more swear words, more anxiety-related words and more feeling-related words than conservatives’ language. Conversely, we predicted that the language of conservatives emphasizes group membership and contains more references to achievement and religion than liberals’ language. We analysed Twitter timelines of 5,373 followers of three Twitter accounts of the American Democratic and 5,386 followers of three accounts of the Republican parties’ Congressional Organizations. The results support most of the predictions and previous findings, confirming that Twitter behaviour offers valid insights to offline behaviour.”–

    —-”What do you think is the hardest thing to do?”—-
    To tolerate the Vox Populi’s universal Dunning-Kruger confidence, moral indignation, and petty righteousness. People run with scissors of ignorance. Everything else is just a matter of doing a bit of time and effort.
