re: #288 Dr Lizardo

Modern communication has made a certain panache common. Twitter is the #1 example.

The isolation created by electronic intercourse perhaps allows the greater degree of freedom to move beyond the less colorful reality of our meat world.

I wonder, then, if the hyped up identity movement is somehow becoming a positive feedback at larger social levels (e.g., nations).

This reminds me of the old addiction models, where the user needs ever increasing amounts to reach the goal of escape.

Human behavior is virulent - we work on a group level without being conscious of it, so one person can “infect” others and change their behaviors.

It’s all very primate in some way.
