Normies do thinking and sense-making in a distributed way. They talk as a group and come to an individual sense of what they think. Nerds are the insane who try to do all their thinking in their own head. https://t.co/h3f2eWijKv https://t.co/7Q8ugiPYOR
This is a fake distinction that points to something real. It absolutely makes more sense to me now how&why other people operated the way they did, and why it didn’t make sense for me. Their way makes sense to me. And why their way didn’t work for me.
It’s not like I don’t do it. I totally do group sense-making too. Those “other people” individually think. They’re made of the same stuff as me. But our defaults were maybe different, and this did make a huge difference.
