a fantasy of mine is to find/create the memetic virus that makes everyone securely attached

@ChrisChipMonk Some prior art on these q's btw - or at least the inverted form: https://t.co/1DfdY5RZ9r The early questions are about feeling bad, but still ends up with, "what's bad if I feel good?"

maybe this is an example? (how could we do something like this tweet except for areas that aren't dating?) https://t.co/ZNbXfxzVob

my favorite mindset for flirting is that it’s predetermined: either you’re already compatible with the other person, or you’re already incompatible. flirting isn’t “convincing” the other person to like you, it’s *revealing*

@ChrisChipMonk You’ve come across the Ideal Parent Figure Protocol right? Remarkably little on this subject.

Just noticed someone becoming discretely smarter. Pressed them about it. Finally we zoomed into it: they’ve been doing “Ideal Parent Figure through ChatGPT”. Human augmentation in my life time. Amazing.

@ChrisChipMonk Paying it forward (classic example is buying next person in line’s Starbucks) My favorite version is when someone asks to return a favor ask them to pay it forward for the rest of their life.

A few others: Kindness (from a position of strength, not weakness) is another. Genuine manners (respect begets respect) Telling others they don’t need to apologize, they have a right to (whatever) as much as anyone else. (Obviously only applicable to over apologizing) Telling others you don’t need to know why (if they have a tendency to DEER when expressing preferences. Thanking people for difficult honesty.

@ChrisChipMonk @dthorson Oh, of course you meant successful mimetic virus, not merely an attempt. I misread you, and stand completely arm in arm in that project.

@ChrisChipMonk eli5 for secure attachment I know more than nothing and it still feels like jargon to me. It elicits a "model citizen" in my mind but if that model is wrong then whoever is consuming the model (me) is moving in the wrong direction

@ChrisChipMonk hmmmmm Safety from the pull of my emotions. They come, I feel them & I can act with them as a data point vs. as the controller. OR Being in a situation/environment where my emotions aren't being manipulated or toyed with.

people always talk about how avoidants are traumatizing but tbh the most traumatized person i ever met was left broken by a debilitatingly anxious partner

@ChrisChipMonk Apparently dating a securely attached person long term can turn you into one. So you'd need to matchmake the securely attached to the anxious and avoidant.

Neal Stephenson really nailed it with Snowcrash. Looking back with a bit of awe. Pls be careful, the worldviews are going to be waking up and that means polymorphic cult viruses. Nam-shubs aren’t real and raw bitmaps can’t hurt you, but normal narratives are bad enough.
