As regards this video, his article 'cognitive biases that make us all terrible people' is a good place to start, as is his newsletter about 'most people are good' with various stats to look at. Eg 1% of Reddit users start 74% of all arguments! Also goes nicely with his article about why everyone on the internet is a donkey. TL:DR a tiny minority of both of, good people at their worst, and also the tiny minority of the worst people regularly attracted to the peanut gallery of social media.

    In my 20s I was friends with a coworker that was about 15-20 years older. She became like a big sister to me. I’ll never forget what she said one day: “Never say “never” because life will make a liar out of you every time.” When she said it, I listened out of respect but didn’t really give it that much weight. As I got older, I did things I said I would never do and her words always float back up in my mind…. As for people being more dumb than evil, as of right now, I feel that’s naive. Maybe in 5 years I’ll agree.

    In my 20s I always lived by the motto that if I didn't look back every year and think I was pretty stupid, then I hadn't done enough to learn more. But I slowed down in my 30s as most of my interests I have learned and forgot. Now I have to push myself into learning things I might not be too interested in. The second one, I agree. Most people think bad things but aren't bad. We tend to have good intentions, but that quote "The road to hell is paved with good intentions". Our intentions are not enough, you need to make sure you analyze the intention and the reasoning to make sure it is fair to the most people. On the last point, again in my 20s I had a buddy who was almost an adult. We were talking about relationships and he told me he never let himself get into one because he saw how bad I got after my first serious relationship of 4 years ended. I told him that those months of heart break and anxiety was not even comparable to the amount of love and joy I got during the relationship. That the risk of being broken is worth the pursuit of having the feeling of love with someone. I think heart ache is a very small price to the joy of being in a happy relationship and people who do not risk it do not know what they are missing by being afraid of letting one heartbreak ruin their prospective. I used to skate a lot and you learn to crave the pain more than run from it. Hope I wrote that clearly enough, I am bad with words. Not that anyone will read any of it. lol

    'A willingness to be close to others, and therefore, a willingness to be hurt by others' Agree 100%. But there are so many things that get in the way of this. One example - if we have been physicaly or emotionally neglected or abused (by poor parenting, bullying, or other cirmcumstance) we can get stuck in fear and shame. We can't get close to others, and our lives feel meaningless. And we stumble through life wondering what's missing. Thankfully we have drugs and money as a perfect solution to this problem.

    Truth #2 is bang on, and your discussion of how quickly we've come to judge is maybe the key to how we got where we are now. I've TOTALLY been guilty of being too quick to judge, and I now see that we live in a "culture of judgement" these days. It's an important point, and it's possible that the strategy of "certain parties" may have been to bring us here deliberately. I won't pretend that I hadn't been thinking about this already, but I love the way you articulate it here. I'm going to try filtering my negative judgements. No, not completely, because there are times you need to call out truly bad behavior, but I think I'm going to start evaluating my responses before just reflexively spouting them off.

    To the first one, this is simultaneously comforting and scary. Why it’s comforting is easier for me to explain. It makes me feel like I should worry less/put less pressure on myself because of it. Why it’s scary is harder because it’s a lot for me to explain. I’ve essentially hit a point where I’m questioning absolutely everything. Now, that may sound like a good thing at first glance. I tend to be reflective and ask questions. I get curious and I want to find answers. But I feel, in this case, it is stressing me out a decent amount. I have essentially come across a lot of thing I see as contradictions that many people mention (They are not necessarily all the same people, nonetheless, they are preached by society and people around me and I definitely agree with some of these to some extent. 1) You’re smart if you feel like you know nothing but you’re insecure if you feel like you know nothing. However, confidence is praised and insecurity is seen as bad. 2) You’re arrogant if you claim good about yourself when it goes against what others think, but it’s good to have an intrinsic (not sure if this is the right word) view of yourself and to not weight how others see you heavily. 3) We all know virtually nothing and are “pretending” but people who know nothing shouldn’t talk about anything. Yet, the only way to progress as a society and engage socially is through communication. So, all of this stuff has had me questioning a lot of things. How do I know what to do and what choices to make? Is there a point in at least trying to do what is right or what you think is beneficial if you’re always gonna be wrong or are essentially guessing without knowing it? I understand I am probably contradicting myself to some degree and not seeing what I should. But, the whole point is, I don’t know what to do. I’m not doing nothing because of it, but I find life can be stressful when you don’t have at least a sort of basic and fundamental reassurance in general. To the second one, I notice that a lot online and yeah, 100% agree. I think my biggest issue, ironically, is trying not to judge people that act like this. I know they’re not morally bad based on like one thing, it’s just, especially when people say really hateful stuff, it can be harder to understand them from a sympathetic/empathetic standpoint. I understand probably no one will read this despite asking questions as if someone will. Not blaming anyone of course and my comment is pretty long. If I’m wrong, though, and anyone has anything to say about this, I’d be curious to hear.

    You're not alone. We were raised on contradictions like you describe. My favorite way to look at the world is projection. When someone complains about something it's because they feel affinity. When they criticize another it is for something they feel in themselves. Remember always the power of Ego. The ability for someone to see and acknowledge problems with everything but themselves is not to be underestimated. The mind is capable of rationalizing anything. Thanks to the great and terrible thousands-headed snake of mirrors that is the internet you can avoid ever confronting yourself if you so desire. Confronting other people is easy but confronting yourself is quite painful. In that sense we are all the same but we can never admit it.

    I read it, a few times 🙂 I've been questioning a lot of the same kinds of things lately, myself. It's pretty uncomfortable at times. It makes me feel like I'm not even a real person. Like if everything I believe is "wrong" to some degree then why waste my time believing anything? Why bother forming opinions or thinking anything about anything? Maybe that's actually good advice but it'll take me 20 years to get it. Who knows? But in the meantime how do I go about being a human? I barely even participate in conversations anymore because it's mostly just dummies like me throwing around barely thought out opinions on things lol. It just seems so pointless. Even when it's smart people on a podcast or something. I'm just really over people's thoughts and opinions. Maybe 5% of it affects how I act in real life. The rest just clogs my brain up. One thing I do know is that working hard on tangible things that produce a real result feels good and seems to be a "right" action, so I'm glad I do that in between all the thinking at least.

    Notes: Truth #1: You were not wrong, you were right for the circumstances and the person you were back then. Both have changed. Circumstances are different and you are now another person. Of course your ideas have changed. Those that have remained the same over long periods of time, are part of your real core and not affected by circumstances either. Truth #2: Completely true. You will realize it a lot better when you encounter a truly *evil* person. They do exist, unfortunately. Truth #3: Absolutely and we all need to work on it. And BTW rocker science is quite simple compared to human relationships.

    I think the resolution to rule #1 is to realize we are a process. We never arrive nor do we ever finish becoming. We constantly change. Because of this I'm not necessarily ashamed of my past self due to the fact I realize where I was, what I knew and how I got there. It would be shameful for me to revert and go back to all that. I think there's something beautiful in being a process. An unfolding story that's constantly be written and, if your brave enough, you can go back and rewrite your past by changing the way you interact with it.

    I've actually changed my opinion (somewhat) on your second position. I used to quote Hanlon's Razor ALL the time. One of my friends in particular who always assumed negative intent for EVERYTHING. But after COVID and some of the things that were said and done by "authorities" really kind of changed my perspective. After a certain point, I just couldn't assume ignorance anymore. They were telling bald-faced lies. I still believe that Hanlon's Razor is mostly true, but I believe I previously underestimated how many out there, even in positions of "public service," really were somewhat evil.

    Hanlon's Razor is more broadly applicable to everyday people that you encounter. In my experience, public figures should be viewed through an additional lens of skepticism at all times. Most of them have an agenda and will lie to some degree in order to push said agenda.

    Thoughts(forgive me, future self) 1. The ten year theory has some grim implications on relationships. People change, the world changes, so you're lucky if your relationship with another evolves amicably. 2. My current cuckoo thought is that the moral personality terms of "good" and "evil" are better described as Generous and Selfish. This removes the desire to be too much of either. The best we can hope for is a balance of both. 3. The easiest form of love to feel is through family, which explains alot. Having a child is a near infinite source of love(until they become teens and they begin to love other things). Don't know too much about this, more research needed.

It's hard to pin down exactly how or when our sociopolitical discourse devolved into "if you believe X, you're an evil yahtzee", but that logic is now ascribed to even the most milk toast political takes.
