if you take a bunch of those people and say “here is a space which is much more tolerant of divergent social behaviour, you are less likely to be punished for being yourself intuitively” they can rapidly discover things like “holy shit I can vibe” and “I am loved & loveable”

what's hilarious here is that wearing the tinfoil hat has actually freed her from mind control: she called the bluff of the social norms police https://t.co/CY68mbxtHF

@RichDecibels What's the name of the failure mode where you think you're scientific because you say stuff like "there are no mind control waves so tinfoil hats don't work" but that person is actually more free wearing her hat?

@RichDecibels just surrender to the unfolding of everything and trust your intuition no, not like that!! https://t.co/HjzsW8xDae

@RichDecibels Hmmm?? I seem to not be able to vibe but had the opposite upbringing?? i.e. "when I flow thru life analysing stuff, I frequently get sanctioned, humiliated or ostracised", and somehow I therefore analysed even harder as if in revenge or spite?

@RichDecibels There is a sense in which "analysing" was illegal and potentially dangerous in China, in the face of political propaganda (how dare you point out the emperor wears no clothes?), but several of my early childhood memories was about me being in an analytical fight with the adults.

@RichDecibels Little Eason just wanted to analyse (and prove you wrong): https://t.co/9cJAMgGtws

🤯🤯🤯 Holy shit I've just uncovered a childhood memory!! I always used to think that I didn't have an answer to the typical question "what do you want to be when you grow up", but actually at some point (~3-5yo) I DID -- I said, verbally, that I wanted to be a LAWYER.
