It was an honor and a privilege to meet @JonHaidt last night. I cite his work heavily in #DemocratToDeplorable. I gave him a copy of the book as he signed my copy of Righteous Mind.

Told him I was speaking at Evergreen. His advice: read How to Win Friends and Influence People.
I asked him a tough question: "now that the implicit bias test has been debunked, what does that mean for Righteous Mind's main thesis?"

He said that did in fact have to go back and make some changes to both Righteous Mind and Happiness Hypothesis now that the IAT is bunk.
But Haidt seemed confident in his original idea which is that we're ruled by emotions rather than reason.

I tend to agree with him.

Still, the IAT is garbage which should be lit on fire and tossed in a dumpster.
Haidt brought up an interesting (yet maybe obvious point) in his talk last night.

Campus censorship and deplatforming is predominantly taking place in the Acela Corridor and along the West Coast of the US.

Shocked, not shocked, that this behavior aligns with the electoral map.
If you haven't bought @JonHaidt 's book, now is the time. It's an important piece of our current puzzle.

@JonHaidt Haidt also taught me the difference between passionate love and companionate love. The former is a super nova which burns out quickly and the latter is a slow burn which builds to something even greater over time. Knowing how to navigate these differences can save a relationship!
People mistake the end of the super nova for the end of the relationship. It's just a moment of change. Making it through that danger zone is the key. And then trusting that companionate love is a process that builds over time is how you overcome early stage fears.
This is another must read here:

What are you complaining about?

You're using alcohol and charm to convince someone to give you information they shouldn't.

And now you're upset that he wants to hit on you?
Again - this isn't a "colleague" this isn't her "boss" this isn't anyone she even works with. This guy is a dude she is seducing for information, plying him with alcohol, pretending to be his friend, when all she wants is information from him.

And the she complains when it works
What bothers me about this is that this women is manipulating the guy, then complaining about it being effective.

All her followers think she was sexually harassed!

Guys - if you respond to a woman's seduction - you're a harasser!

Alright y’all. I’m headed down to the Mall.

I ain’t gonna miss this historic shit show.

Stay tuned.
Not gonna lie. My heart rate is up and my stomach is twisted.

Anticipating a deluge of human energy hitting me in about twenty minutes.

Also, no way for me to hide my identity either. Who knows what’s gonna happen.
Antifa set shit on fire and destroyed all kinds of property after the inauguration.

This SCOTUS appointment is arguably as impactful if not more so bc of the tenure.

Wonder what the reaction will be on the streets.

Will we see black bloc show up?

I didn't know @archillect was a synthetic intelligence. Wow.

This article speculates on how synthetic intelligences may or may not be able to endure fame, especially if their appeal lies in taste making / curation.

As @archillect becomes more famous and engaged by a mass audience rather than niche, her ability to ID interesting trends in visual tastes decreases.

This is a fascinating parallel to how mass culture subsumes subcultures and denudes them through appropriation.
Mass culture values subcultures and niches.

Yet adoption of underground ideas/arts/music/trends invariably leads to stripping the subculture of the value which first made it appealing to early adopters - and thus the masses.

The sad irony of subculture evolution.

In two years I’ve gone from an anonymous account with 0 followers, to a semi-public figure touring college campuses across the country.

I don’t talk about mindset very often, but I do lead by example.

Set outrageous goals and force yourself to rise to the challenge.
I promised I’d write a book even though I’d never done it.

I promised I’d tour the country, even though no one had ever asked me to speak.

And now I’m getting offers to do political consulting…

All by having a vision and working tirelessly towards it.
I'm seriously blessed. I have a small but solid donor base who is funding my travels.

I have amazing readers who are loyal and loud.

And I couldn’t do any of this without all of your support, so thank you very much from the bottom of my heart.

“I love coaching more than anything else I’ve ever done in my life but thanks to you, I may never be able to do that again in my life.”
I was emotional before. But man, I just lost it. I feel his pain. I feel it so hard.
Fuck all these people.
