Seems like, step by step, every irrational human behavior will be explained as a higher form of rationality. At the end, we will realize that the only truly irrational people on this planet are the so-called rationalists.
It’s easy to say this if you’re surrounded by nerdy types who stubbornly refuse to leave simulacrum 1. But have you looked at other people these days??
Look at the Midwestern mom who just blew another $200 on the latest exercise fad that is definitely not going to give her the body she wants. Look at every business that went under because they failed to measure what really mattered. Look at anyone whose S3 sentiment has been so easily hijacked and commoditized by the social media outrage machines.
Nah, I’m thoroughly convinced that there is still an advantage in knowing what’s actually true, which means seeing the S levels for what they are.
