May you live in interesting times
Jan. 11th, 2021 08:40 pmI'd never thought that I'd see conversations between bewildered fanatics in the US this close. Throughout Trump presidency I felt that calling these people трамповатa was a bit rude; that they were just confused, mostly harmless middle-aged men who happen to be mentally stuck in the Soviet/anti-soviet dichotomy of their youth. Maybe it made them feel younger and more at home with their life skills. But guess what? They are true трамповата. They live in the US, but mentally they are working remotely from the USSR, a country and society that exist only in their memories. Bergson was right. Wow.

Прогресс и диверсификация
Jan. 9th, 2021 08:59 pmТеперь у нас появилась возможность посылать трамповату не только нах, но и в Parler. Это будет удивительный естественный эксперимент массового эффекта Данинга-Крюгера. Оттуда должны выйти совершенно удивительные конспирологические монстры-мутанты, которые будут круче духа Уго Чавеса, укравшего у Трампа американские выборы.

Oct. 14th, 2020 08:23 pmWikileaks no longer works, so Trump is trying to use a US tabloid to launder another crapload of political "kompromat." Nice try, losers. I wonder if they planned to release the story right before the second presidential debate and derail any discussion of substantive issues. Well, there's no debate and a lot of people are already voting. Also, neither major social network wants a piece of these Giuliani conspiracy theories. They had enough of that.

I wonder whether Trump will be banned on Twitter and Facebook after he gets kicked out of the White House on Jan 20, 2021. Right now, their only excuse for allowing him to violate their rules is "public interest." Once he's no longer the president, his malicious bullshit is no better than that of, e.g. Alex Jones'.

The Dunning Kruger effect in humor
May. 30th, 2020 11:58 amЕще понял одну из причин, почему определенные взрослые люди без чувства юмора постоянно придумывают и делятся с окружающими собственными несмешными шутками. Тут получается по Дарвину: естественная склонность человека к юмору не отбирается в среде общения. В такой среде можно шутить, как угодно (никак, плохо, хорошо), но у шуток нет обратной связи, поэтому они, например, у мужчин, застревают на уровне туповатого "армейского" или "студенческого" юмора.
Quote of the day
Mar. 7th, 2020 05:24 pm“The internet was a collective howl, an outlet for everyone to prove that they mattered. The full spectrum of human emotion infused social platforms. Grief, joy, anxiety, mundanity flowed. People were saying nothing, and saying it all the time. Strangers swapped confidences with other strangers in return for unaccredited psychological advice. ”

Dec. 3rd, 2019 01:48 pmI've long suspected that Crazy and Stupid perceptions of the Other (applies to historical times, mindsets, etc.) form an intrinsically connected pair. In Category Theory they can be modeled as adjoints with specific meanings; that is, Stupid would be Forgetful, while Crazy would be Free.
