You need to have a strategy in place for dealing with MOPs before you are overrun.
I agree with this statement, but I also am interested in how you plan on dealing with Sociopaths, in the Geeks, MOPs, Sociopaths model. Or at least filtering for the ones who actually Get It, versus the ones looking to opportunistically score resources.
MIRI seems to be a particularly well-tended garden because it’s led primarily by Geeks, with Sociopath skill sets. They’re not, as in the default case, Geek-sympathizing Sociopaths.
Could you speak to your sense of how the model applies to this particular community? I’m interested in finding crux points.
I plan to deal with sociopaths the same way I deal with potential car theives—by hiding valuables out of sight. Sociopaths are mostly oppertunistic, you can prevent maybe 95% of problems in this area simply by not giving them oppertunities to exploit.
A healthy amount of distrust for everyone and everything also alerts you to issues before people become embedded and expelling them would cause major community tensions.
I also make heavy use of lime metrics, some of which I’ve tested on previous sociopaths I knew.
