article
When we want to identify with a group, we <em>bias</em> ourselves to filter out all
theother ways we could be. It helps us cut down all our competing priorities
to the group. The trade-off is the benefit in diversity of thought.
article
Our brain clusters things that are similar to each other together. This
includes ideas and the words we attach to them. If your words are attached to
the wrong ideas, you’re going to struggle to make the connection for them.
article
Cultural and aesthetic ‘facts’ are as real as any ‘objective’ truths.
They’re just centred on different kinds of meaning. Trivialising them
because they ‘go against’ the evidence is failing to recognise what
evidence they care about.
article
Without more tasteful social behaviours to sample from, we’re liable to
attach very strongly to the behaviours of our group. Add a hostile environment,
normalised physical and emotional violence, and a lack of mental and physical
resources, and you have the ingredients for atrocity.
article
The strength of our attraction to a group is a function of how different a
group is from other groups in ways that we feel like we are, or like we want to
be. Our participation in the group depends on how we see it benefitting us, and
see us benefitting the group. The stronger both are, the stronger our biases to
stay engaged.
