recently I've fallen hard into the simulacra / moral mazes / scapegoating / conflict theory rabbit hole and Santa Claus saw my devotion and sent me this @TheZvi podcast as a holiday gift. this is extremely worth your time https://t.co/v2dE0Y076E
@TheZvi since I've linked to this from a post talking about simulacra, here's a quick primer: https://t.co/7ZzxUHKe1r https://t.co/WqhR6K21LQ
@TheZvi the way I think of it is: what would need to happen for the person saying something to start saying the opposite? example statement that was said by different people at different times on different levels: "MASKS DON'T WORK". which level are we on? https://t.co/8sWRGliG3l
@TheZvi what would make you stop saying masks don't work? a study that shows lower, not higher transmission rates for masked people = level 1 people who hear it rush to buy more masks, not less = level 2 Democrats, not Republicans, start saying it = level 3 if nothing clearly can = 4
