A Stream of Consciousness

  • neuro divergence is one phrasing

  • inferential distance or inferential aloneness is another semantic descriptor

  • consensus formation from inferences beyond the edge of normative society

  • likely we’ll have more of this

  • where does that lead us?

  • thiel has made the point: is freedom possible in a democracy?

  • pointing to -> majority always be able to coerce the minority

  • also the idea where:

  • 50-60% consensus, you’re in a democracy

  • 60-70% consensus, you’re in Singapore

  • 90-100% consensus, you’re in North Korea


  • consensus formation

  • is a function of aligned tribes

  • without the option to exit

  • tribal jockeying begins

  • usually this boils down to the allocation of scarce resources
