The VP Debate
Hey y’all, What we’re up to tonight Tonight we’re going to have fun, test how UpTrust works with 20-30 people simultaneously using it, and perhaps gain some insight and make some connections.... One piece of wisdom I got from facilitator Diane Hamilton was "yes increases group cohesion, no increases group energy" – that’s a paraphrase. I think that desire for energy in the debate drives the kind of questions asked, and makes these kinds of questions, as much as I would... I am relating to the debate as political theater. If I could rank what I’m seeing on this platform it would be red arrow down, repeatedly. We’re having a side discussion about how to build this functionality... Yes but that seems away from the point of our discussion which is who decides what is dishonest or misleading. This connects back to my first point that you and I agree. we agree in principle and disagree on the mechanism or methodology by which to achieve that.... - onok, not to be a downer or start a fight or offend anyone , I just would like to ask if anyone here has thoughts on the global political scene. I am 58 and have never given two fucks about politics because I just always knew it was a joke, a scam, a game being run on the people. But the moves lately have caught my attention. Yet, I do not watch TV at all. for almost 10 years. Because it is an tool used to control perception and thereby behavior. And I like to be free from control. I have some very radical beliefs, but I am always interested in learning how other people feel and think about their life. I know I am intelligent enough to believe I do not know everything and also that every belief I have now has been expanded from something that came before it so all of my beliefs are subject to be expanded. so if you engage with me be prepared to not take anything I say as something I expect you to adapt to. I have strong feelings, radical beliefs, and I would love seeing if anyone else is fed up with the entire system as I am. 🤸🤸🤸🌼bySassiebrat67...
It is so very invigorating to come across this post. And furthers my confidence in my normalcy, lol. You have, in essence, described my beliefs and habits.... - onWe have the option to see everything in your life as collaborative; we are scared to say this because we don't want to victim-blame but we're also scared of the possibilities and transcendence that opens upby
I super appreciate your effort at steelmanning and translating what I'm saying through ways you make sense of things. Playing with formats here and splitting into multiple comments, added after your... - onPre VP Debate warm up. I was thinking that Trump resembles "Anger" from Inside Out, and in the first movie, when Anger gets fed up, he goes rogue, steals mom’s credit card and buys a bus ticket to Minnesota (Make Riley Great Again). The only problem with going back, is that "back" isn’t a place or time we can get to.by
