I learned quickly when batman hit big that I should embrace 'Why, So Serious?" - I've started using it to shutdown "Old Greg" jokes...

Is sincerity trolling a thing?I take everything seriously, even jokes.I even project my own framing onto others.https://t.co/EnKLgkdS4G

I live in a confusing mess of mental eigenstates. Intention collapses the statespace, but only if I can see it.https://t.co/nYzzBAzWnj

Far too easy to frame parasitical advertising norms as conspiracy theoryish attacks against one's ingroup. Sad!https://t.co/yiRRSAeBml

"The outgroup are out to get us!" <- Ascribing agency where none exists is a common failure in human rationality.https://t.co/QOa5jhgq3v

Could the social contagion of emotion be another form of bayesian learning influencing attention at the swarm level?https://t.co/EFCH1KZzT4 https://t.co/5tgGE4CCdW

But another common failure is NOT ascribing agency where it does.I guess that's cognitive dissonance. Cosmic jokes?https://t.co/Gb3NTbdYH9

You can learn more about truth faster not by 'correct' beliefs, but by having others explain why your trollish misappropriations are bad.

sorry but if sincerely defending your beliefs is clearly and easily distinguishable from trolling then your beliefs are basic

How can I tell when I'm joking? I often struggle to recognize my own sarcasm.https://t.co/khN7IAaal7

UltimApe@ultimape• almost 9 years ago

Best jokes change minds by minding change. Mine jokes that mind jokes. I am a joke mining jokes who don't mind jokes.Hope you don't mind.

Just thinking about this makes me uneasy. I am often stricken w/ dread that everything I know is just a cruel joke.https://t.co/UaHffcjoAB

Sarcasm is like Schrodinger's cat. I'm never quite sure if I'm using the analogy correctly.

Or maybe the world *IS* a cruel joke, and everybody else is just laughing at me because the world goes over my head.
