Born into Meaning Crisis, Weird Facebook, Gaslighting battle, post-truth authenticity

Nick and I have our 4th conversation. We get into the 4th cult he joined. A lot of fascinating observations about contemporary truth.

#meaningcrisis #weirdfacebook #cults

I'm not including more extensive conversation notes.
Cult 4: didn’t start out as a cult, called a cult
Born into the meaning crisis
We couldn't contextualize the shift
Millennials born into this cultural relativity as a starting point
We went from a game of truth to a gaslighting battle
Jbp and sh couldn’t agree on what the game of truth was
Battle of gaslighting, which one can colonize the other
The cult took that as the prime mode of action.
Instead trying to convince someone by reason, by stronger distortion of reality has undermined their previous conception
Which worldview can hold onto its own internal logical truth the best
Cult’s use of trolling as dominant mode of interaction
Jesus trolled, why did Jesus troll?
Vulnerability and honest were rewarded
Weird facebook
Alt-lit alternative literature 2014 morphs into weird facebook collapses 2017
Context confusion
Post-irony, can’t tell what’s ironic and what is sincere
Byrne reference
David from Louisiana
Pageau
Hierarchy runs on credibility, global capital aspects of meritocracy , your ability to receive credit
Downwards hierarchy is the social hierarchy, social as opposed to finance… the peaks are missing and the corners of the bases…
The social hierarchy runs on authenticity, problem with authenticity, the effort to try to be authentic is the surest sign that you are not authentic, something along the lines of honesty
It’s not post-truth it’s pre-honest...
What can colonize truth, it’s honesty, keep the truth value and enhance it..
The integration of the observer:
We’re moving closer towards honesty
