Can you elaborate what actually is so nice about the last four POTUSes then ?

Delusional people don't recognize when they are delusional.

Mass psychosis is no different.

If you can see that it's propaganda, you're not the target.

But still i'm quite genuinely interested in the inner "mechanics" of this kind of group dynamics.

I got a very physical "field-like" (Maxwell...) theory on some processes observable in human group dynamics. It isn't a discrete but continuous problem in most aspects.

Which basically is the reason visiting my most favorite therapist once a week. She is a genius that didn't drown in the usual dogmatism of her profession.

We basically only discuss the inner workings of this magical black-box that exists when two people are talking. But from a mathematical viewpoint it gets hardcore-complicated even when there only is a third present influencing both parties just by its presence.

She is writing her thesis about this anyway.

We're trying to create something new by fusioning a lot of ideas, theories and input from her colleagues.

I always wonder what this black-box actually is when i'm talking to her.

Finding an imaginative model for this thing... Could possibly be real progress.

I got a very physical "field-like" (Maxwell...) theory on some processes observable in human group dynamics.

Like thermal dynamics or magnetic fields, it might be worth sharing predictive equations for many general maxims about political/group dynamics. (Apophenia, Dunning–Kruger effect, Eudaimonia, Gell-Mann amnesia effect, Hitchens's razor, List of eponymous laws, List of fallacies, Principle of charity, Pyrrhonism, Stoicism, etc.)

A pendulum is predictable. Add another point and it gets hardcore-complicated.

Yep. I feel understood. Most likely. This is quite a strange day.

Any time I'm about to argue with people on the internet, I block them instead. I have zero interest in debates or proving things to people who don't matter to me and who are too lazy to read real books. If I was interested in their opinion I'd read the book they're badly mangling it from. Internet debates, political discussion, etc. are utterly pointless and exclusively the domain of people who are stupid or delusional. I, personally, do not care what anyone believes and couldn't care if everyone on the planet died tomorrow, because normies are trashkin. The sole reason I ever post things is for myself, with a sub purpose of occasionally getting useful comments from people who actually have the background and IQ to know what I'm talking about. This is why I hate public forums, because I despise the idea that anyone who wants can be somewhere.

I am interested in ideas, people can go to Hell and burn forever.
