That's interesting to me because I mainly focus on the construction of my own behavior

They operate as if reality is arrived at by consensus and altering the consensus alters reality.

Yes, it can relate to others in real time, but that doesn't mean it's composed of others

That seems like confirmation bias or availability heuristics to me

the thing is it is real. but its a matter of how you work with that information.

"This is what I see, hear, and say, and so it must be"

I agree, but I tend to view things as more of...say...individual consciousnesses interacting in a realtime stage as opposed to the conglomeration of all those being the truth

the environment and our own personal reactions to it are still entirely valid regardless of the hivemind

its a symbiotic relationship

that's a good way to put it

There's a lot to be learned from others as well as introspection

as elon pointed out on rogan, you NEED other people to retain sanity.

if you go live alone in the woods for 1 year. you will lose your mind

Or you will revert to bicameralism.

Concerning Tim's video on Nike, he uses L2 as a source. I watched Galloways video last week on Nike and I didn't agree with his arguments then either. Like Tim said, reputation is more important than fleeting sales (in the long run). The loss of value to your company due to loss of reputation is incalculable

I haven't ever spent an entire year in isolation, but after my injury I had to move into my mom and brother's place and spent close to 9 months only interacting with ppl via the internet as I was unable to walk or travel. It's incredibly taxing on the mind.

You will argue with yourself aloud.

oh my god, yes @Atkins

And then, out loud, I scold myself

Nike should just lease Chinese slaves

I always argue with myself, but not aloud cuz i'm a mute 😛

That may have been the typical mode of consciousness as recent as a thousand years ago.

It is very uncommon to find ancient text of any culture or language written in first person.

I believe people are questioning me

I typically speak to myself in thought

interesting point @Atkins

until like 5 years ago

it was uncommon for people t take pictures of their own face everywhere 😛

So people either think I’m psycho, weird, or I’m just too smart

No it was

That's fascinating about the ancient texts

chances are they are just basic bitches and you go over their head

Ever since portable cameras were made and sold cheap people have photographed their faces

yes, but not 20-30 of the exact same place

I used to take pics of myself with a film camera when I was a small child, I had my own polaroid too

Yes well that’s a problem

i mean lets be honest

how would you feel if you opened someone photo album in their home

I’ve never touched a Polaroid camera

and its just filled with pictures of their own face 😛

close up

lol
