Let's riff on "Epistemological Improv" (ht @micahtredding)

I sense we'll encounter interesting ideas

If truth is a map to the territory of reality, epistemological critique is the relentless questioning of how the map was made

I have to admit that this has been my tendency
Girard scholarship has been an example of "Yes and"

Eg, his handling of Freud's and Nietzsche's ideas has made me appreciate how original and innovative their ideas are. At the same time, he plainly shows better alternatives to their maps (eg, mimesis vs Oedipus complex)
As I read nationalists scholarship, my tendency has been to critique rather than to say "Yes and"

In the empirical sciences, there might be value in filtering out studies based on the quality of their materials and methods section.

I have a threadapalooza idea

I'll riff on this song "Take Me To Church" to talk about a theory I have of how #roamcult 2020 happened

1 like = 1 tweet https://t.co/EZIyMqs9KG
now might be the right time

it has been years, so maybe everyone is already out of the spell and old wounds have already healed
here's the outline of the thread:

i. the promethean power of take me to church

ii. the only other time i saw a tattoo in honor of a silicon valley egregore

iii. why roamcult was still different (the theory)

iv. some reflections

1/ The core of your work as an entrepreneur or self-employed creator is your craft (writing, coding, leading, trading, etc)

Yet to turn your vision to reality, you also need to coordinate many other kinds of work

What's the minimum effective dose of project management for you?
2/ Let's start with the entire toolkit of professional project managers

Here's table 1-1 of the bible of the profession, the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK)

Which of these are the 80/20? Image
3/ Here's how I think about it:

All projects need a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) and risk register (projects = those too big for task management)

Then use the other tools as needed:

All your bases of culture are belong to us
Escaped the tourist bubble and went to the market of the nearest town

Found some tuba, ancestral liquor from fermented coconut tree sap

It's already hard to find this in big cities. I was told the tuba makers are getting old w no next gen

Glad to see the tradition alive here
Tuba guy taught me the recipe for kinutil:

3 tablets of cacao, melted in water
mix 1 can of condensed milk
mix 1 gallon of tuba
optionally mix 2 egg yolks

Brought home some tuba, gonna try it tomorrow

1/ I spent most of my life working to get good at turning desires to reality: productivity, project management, persuasion

Yet, I never questioned those desires

Not until @lukeburgis introduced me to Mimetic Theory (h/t @louisepereira)

A thread on his book, Wanting
2/ The 1st half of the book introduces us to René Girard and Mimetic Theory

How are people's desires created?

It turns out we model them on the desires of the people who surround us

Sounds convergent with status games and hormones
3/ Coolness from the framework of mimetic theory.

Perhaps we intuit freedom behind coolness. The first part of the book helps us understand the nature of mimetic desire, so that in the second part we can work towards our own freedom.

Highlights from the Robert Sapolsky interview at the Huberman Lab podcast

1/ Testosterone moves us to protect/increase our status

BUT those status games are dictated by the people we are playing with (this is possibly part of the neuroscience of mimetic theory)
2/ practicing metarationality should include awareness of ones testosterone levels, as it increases how confident we feel

Also, this is probably the neuroscience behind the virtuous cycle of practice, increased competence, real world impact and recognition, confidence
3/ gonna continue lifting, sleeping well, eating right

At some point though will nerd out on TRT (Attia says there are 9 precursor steps that can be optimized in endogenous production before needing to mainline T). TRT era Vitor Belfort convinced me long ago.
