I’m also hanging out a lot more with normies these days and I feel this.
But I also feel like maybe I just have a very strong local aura (or like, everyone does, that’s how scenes work) which obscures the fact that I’m not influencing the rest of the ocean at all.
I worry that a lot of the discourse basically just works like barrier aggression in dogs. When you’re at one of their parties, they’ll act like they agree with you about everything, when you’re seen at a party they’re not at, they forget all that you said and they start baying for blood. Go back to their party, they stop. I guess in that case, maybe there’s a way of rearranging the barriers so that everyone comes to see it as one big party. Ideally, make it really be one.
