@benjamingjw Internet gives a window into the future

Anonymity reveals what people are really thinking

I won election prediction bets in 2016 based entirely on twitch chats and youtube/facebook comments

Most I meet are afraid to admit this - lack the ability to harvest the insights.
@benjamingjw “Why would I want to read a bunch of angry racist sludge?! You cant trust anything those anons say, and most are probably kids trolling or bots anyway”

Translation: “It’d break my worldview to accept the toxicity of humanity”

So they stay blind!
@benjamingjw As you stated, Principles of Power and Influence apply here too.

It’s a perfect testing ground - with minimal risk and required investment.

How much do you risk on a tweet? Not even on the radar. (especially if you’re anon like me)

A/B/C/D test all day. Free of charge.

“Hope, danger's comforter, may be indulged in by those who have abundant resources ... but it’s nature is to be extravagant, and those who go so far as to put their all upon the venture see it in its true colours only when they are ruined”
“ but so long as the discovery would enable them to guard against it, it is never found wanting. Let not this be the case with you, who are weak and hang on a single turn of the scale; “
“ nor be like the vulgar, who, abandoning such security as human means may still afford, when visible hopes fail them in extremity, turn to invisible, to prophecies and oracles “

There once was a poor man who walked around without shoes.

His feet were covered in calluses.

One day, a rich man felt sorry for the poor man and bought him a pair of nikes.
The poor man was extremely grateful and wore the shoes constantly. He was overjoyed! Such a simple gesture by the rich man had improved his lot greatly.

After a year or so, the shoes fell apart. The poor man had to go back to walking around barefoot.
He did so, but now his calluses were gone and his feet got all cut up and soon the cuts became infected and the man got sick and eventually, after they cut off his legs, he died.

Walking around the empty streets of my city, it feels like the lowest dream layer in inception.

I’m making a mental note of what I see, and telling myself that I own it.

My bench. My buildings. My statues. My fountain.

A psyche experiment.
How will it affect my aura to walk around convinced that I own the place?

Subconscious cannot tell the difference.

Unique opportunity afforded by quarantine. The eerie atmosphere makes it more persuasive.

Must study this thoroughly
