This is just a tired grumpy rant.

It's about surprisal mechanics and basic survival. Many people were definitely more concerned than the social preference, but they were successfully filtered out because being the nail that sticks out gets you hammered down. Ask any autistic person what a mountain of evidence is worth verses keeping within the agreed social norms. Also how applied behavioural analysis is just Pavlovian conditioning for "acting normal," to various specifications. Made by the gay conversion people.

There is a complex nuance between being vocal about changing the system verses having the collective weight to affect the system. If you have no weight, your screams of pain and frustration are interpreted as disobedience.

Basically, in a system built on stupid archaic brainwashing, pointing at reality makes you a big target for people who gain extreme power from the archaic system, so any attempt to collectivize progress is slandered in media consumed by people who think with their social brain more than by comprehending the world.

Pointing this out is also social anathema, because people hate to accept that they had blindspots that led to less than perfect beliefs.

Science and Bayesian updating are largely just your ability to hold new perspectives, and solve the inconsistencies while updating to things you're actively perceiving. Too much or too little bias in the wrong place can fuck everything up, yet it's still socially unacceptable to say that people have a social obligation to learn to not ignore dissonance between different beliefs, and how to properly weight reliable and robustly supported beliefs.

Might even include social pressure to learn concepts and vocabulary around the topic. How do you question newspeak if you were born into it?

Adults also have an incentive and obligation to keep learning. Serving your own social script exclusively does not build a functional social organ or body. No wonder a couple power hungry parasites can overpower the masses.

So in such a fucked up system, how do you keep the will to live, serve progress, and justice, and avoid being socially exiled or murdered while incidentally calling everyone out as the self focused ignorant masses that they are? Willful ignorance aside, the real ones responsible are the jerks in charge who defund education, and super fund propaganda for intellectual disarmament.

On a related note, I've been watching the anime "orb" and enjoying the first few episodes so far. Very topical.
