Twitter was training its users

submitted by Cmonthisismyname to whatever 2 yearsApr 27, 2022 11:23:13 ago (+46/-0)     (whatever)

Hearing about the people who gained or lost followers recently got me thinking that Twitter had the power and the method to train its users to think the way Twitter wanted them to think. Post wrong-think, lose followers. Pump the current thing, gain followers.

Controlling what people see is the greatest power that exists. You might think controlling the money they trade with is a greater power. To be sure, it is great. But if you can control what they see, they will not know the truth about their money.

See: Allegory of the Cave

This fact was known 2,500 years ago.

You hit on something of fundamental importance that most fail to grasp. People keep thinking "It's about the money", without considering the degenerate people behind all the bullshit can literally create as much money as they want. The money they do create is simply a means of facilitating what they really want: Ever greater power and control.

A more important question to ask oneself: Why do they want more power and control?

This is subject matter I'm passionate about. I could probably write for days. I'll just say that society relies on series of nested games ordered hierarchically for intelligence, competence, and risk. Money is a relevant end for a certain subset of those games, but eventually a person gains enough of it that it ceases to be an end capable of structuring the world's highest-lvl games. This isn't to say that finances are decoupled from the ends of higher games, but rather than the monetary aspects of these ends are not money structures like income, or cash flows, or even individual net worth. Rather they are the values of entire domains of industry, or of collective labor and even whole nations - much more abstract than the financial instruments we deal with ordinarily.

At that level you're talking about assets like pieces on the gameboard of international politics. As I said, such things can always be financially and economically appraised, but if we are discussing things in terms of the human motivation that orders these games, the set of possibilities is small. They're almost always ideological. I don't think a person (read as: a small group of people) can achieve these heights of power without ideological motivations.

Power and control are instrumental in that game of realizing ideological outcomes, but the real thrust is something religious or quasi-religious. And this is contingent on history as well. When most of the habitable world had not been inhabited, the highest games were imperial in a distinct way, i.e. to amass territories. Today, humanity has spread into most of the available nooks that are to be inhabited in the short term. Now things are about organization within that range, meaning organization of people, including how they socialize and trade.

This requires no less than a vision for a world, which is value-laden. It requires people playing at that level to hold clear visions for what the best world is like, and how we ought to remodel what currently exists to be more like that vision.

Things could get philosophical and religious very quickly, but at that level they are bound to. What is the purpose of mankind? Survival is not a purpose, it is a means to the creation of some working order that is meant to endure, to create prosperity in some way that lasts (for whom is a question of the particular ideology one holds). So what is human thriving? What is the optimum of this? What holds the greatest thriving back, and how must society be restructured to remedy it? Answers to such questions require a narrative. A narrative that includes one's history, one's identity, how one justifies his tremendous role and authority to begin such a project, etc. etc.

The grandeur is obvious. I think one thing that holds back most average people from seriously considering what they tend to call 'conspiracies', is that they cannot get outside of their own game (their current level) to grasp what I've said above. They can't fathom that there are people in the world playing a game so much more abstract than theirs. But there are those people, for whom the end to which their money is just a means, can't be anything less than winning the game of controlling the future world order.

Simple people will explain it away with money: it's strictly economic -- the nature of these highest games is just a natural fall-out of the most vicious money-seekers. So, the only motivation is wealth. I don't think this is sufficient, not even close. First, I consider it a wrong assumption that money, by itself, can motivate people sufficiently to achieve these levels of power to begin with. These people don't amass this much wealth being motivated solely by wealth; things at this level are motivated by ideologies. Deep, powerful ones that are uniquely mapped to a group's history.

I don't think Jews, for example, can be understood without grasping how powerful their inter-subjective narrative is, the one which forms the psychological glue of their identity. Their hatred of history, of others. That's the seedbed of their religious ideology.

I've thought of starting a Substack, but I'd have to get more disciplined about writing.

Long as you know only jew bankers create US dollars and fund anti-white groups. Nothing changes until we start using crypto to buy, sell and trade and get off their US dollars. If you haven't started using crypto to buy, sell and trade, you deserve all the pedo trannies you get.

A more important question to ask oneself: Why do they want more power and control?

In their minds power is the ability to get someone else to do something they don't want to do. The more they don't want to do it, and the more they continue to do so, the more power they have.

Control is about getting the dumb NPC to want to do the thing. What thing? Generally anything un-natural and perverse. Why? Because people don't normally want those things.

But of what use is power if you don't ruthlessly use it whenever possible? And so you get literal child-raping satanists who are in the positions with the most power for change.

lol, that's what I was going to say too. Everyone pretends like the points don't matter but why even have them in the first place then? Retarded faggots will first try to say "I'm too tough to care about points," but the points don't directly target the person they are given too. The points are used as symbols to all the fucking weak willed lurkers that subconsciously use that as a guide to consider the validity of your statement as judged by other people.

No matter how fucking retarded you are, there is someone more retarded out there. And that's the person that is effected by the fake internet points.

The point of news aggregation is to view what is interesting.

So hopefully up votes and down votes help gather that.

...to train its users to think the way Twitter wanted them to think.

Exactly; it's about controlling the narrative. If you want to push a narrative that you know is unpopular you employ tactics to try and convince the NPCs that said narrative is popular so they go along with it.

jew media tactics used in TeeVee, movies, magazines, newspapers, etc., etc.

I hate chocolate ice cream. And cheesesteaks.

Having to eat a cheesesteak with a side of chocolate ice cream would be... worse than death.
