1/ Our US experiment has 100% been hacked

by cynical "leaders" of political parties + well-intentioned others + foreign enemies fanning 🔥 NOT as nationalists but as populists seeking to destroy nation by dividing us into TRIBES + fueling US to hate EACH OTHER more than 'them'..

2/ At meta level the tribal division is those who

UNITE—or DIVIDE
Mesh—or clash
Band—or disband
Merge—or diverge
Integrate—or segregate

This doesn't mean disavowing disagreement—but rather finding nuance to see + criticize "others" as ERRED protagonists + not EVIL antagonists

3/ Were I foreign enemy set to weaken the US i 'd not attack it kinetically from OUTSIDE, but do it from INSIDE.

Create constant low-simmer civil war, deepen rifts, provoke tribal Us vs Them alliances recasting identity, rewrite history, dissolve MYTH of "United States" so that-

1/ You do you not see unintelligent people call out FRAUDS. Why?

Sure the easy answer is fools are easily fooled and thus the marks/targets.

But there’s another better reason why smart people like to call out FRAUDS...

Namely: Competition + Status. 🧵

2/ Competitive intellects love finding
correct answers quicker
truths not yet discovered
better explanations (for pleasure + sport)

Some compete to be ‘smarter’ than others
Motivated intrinsically for self or extrinsically—
they like to OUTSMART people—
and/or get STATUS for it.

3/ Frauds/hucksters/ tricksters also try to OUTSMART others
but in contrast don’t want STATUS for their cleverness—
they cloak it + dont want to be detected

Bad smart people are source of worlds conflicts
One cant be compelled to call out FRAUD
unless intellectually competitive

1/ Yes. Astrology is SUPERSTITION.

Unscientific nonsensical FLAPDOODLE that exploits people’s need for narrative often in response to anxiety, stress, uncertainty

It gives false community: “I’m a __zodiac__ too!”
puts agency + fate outside of oneself
and exploits a...

2/Consider these statements
Answer each of the following quickly as True/False or Yes/No

And I can 100% tell you your zodiac
And 100% tell how you are likely to respond in most (but not all situations)
And who would be best career path and best life partner for you...

3/

YES/NO

•You often have a need for other people to like and admire you.

•You have a great deal of unused capacity, which you have not turned to your advantage

•Disciplined outside, you sometimes can be worrisome and insecure inside.
