Ready to get on with the work. Say hello I’m friendly
more or less yes. The grind is usually masking a deep seated and unexamined assumption there's a lot messed up and everything needs to be better, fuel that drives the grind. Abundance starts from an assumption of there is either already enough or easily could be

looks like an interesting book. Will check out! Did you by chance run across "Is it True, What they Say about the Masons?" by Arturo de Hoyos? (I'm a Freemason, it's a common cite for us when discussing your topic)

perhaps the difference is individual, personalized feelings (love) vs. externally verifiable / "material reality" / social construct things (you will lose your job, and $1,000). One scales very easily to mass groups.

don't wanna participate in dogpiling negativity on *any* topic X, like I don't want to participate in a group bullying session of a person (even if I dislike that person). Build context/empathy/positive agenda, person by person, brick by brick. Slow but worth it.

for as beautiful as humanity is this is just one of the things we do. I don't know of a better way to deal with it other than simply: focus time & energy on the things you want to see more of

for one negative emotion is more salient than positive. Threat of loss better for motivating people than hopes of gain. We gotta lotta us vs. them going on now, threat is easy to summon (they're taking your jobs, your reproductive rights, etc. etc)

if what your group agrees on is *too specific and tight* you get schisms. If it's too loose/vague, you don't really stand for much or have much identity. Ontological commitment is a goldilocks problem

it takes a lot more (yes vision) but also leadership, vibecrafting, messaging, agendabuilding, etc in order to assert something positive. This is often a downfall of revolutions that blow up the system with no replacement ideas. It's really, really hard.

I think one of the reasons why this happens is that "against X" is the simplest form of social cohesion you can muster. Easier to get disparate groups of people to agree, because what they agree on is minimal

yet inductively, the same is true of great^n kids too, is it not? 🤔
perhaps we should save and invest perpetually, carefully keeping gains, just to maximize optionality 😆

shudders of EA longtermism there. Technically there will be more great-great grandkids than children, so yeah, allocating resources to children is kinda irrational when you think about it.

seems to me that the reality of social media just boils down to the brutal calculus of "where my peeps at". If all your circle is on EvilApp where the CEO mulches puppy dogs or whatever we're suspecting of him this week, well then ig we talk about how evil he is on EvilApp?
