ah, dart is someone from a reactionary group towards an extremely niche mashup between /r/deepthoughts and /r/fifthworldproblems.

i am not dart, but you might be surprised about how many people don't capitalize. right now i'm thinking of the character alphys from undertale, who also doesn't use caps unless writing official documents. i am also not alphys.

i think my refusal to capitalize comes from a an over-weighted desire for personal autonomy, so maybe they have a similar urge for autonomy. being aware of high dimensional intersectionality, i would hope you don't assume too much else about me via the one data point. sorry to disappoint otherwise.

remember that we're really good at finding patterns in the environment. if you don't have a wide bayesian basin to ground those patterns, you might confabulate some weird connections or explanations.

in more schizotypal behaviour you often see such apophenia become overly salient.

if you have the adventurous lifestyle to try delving into that FEP stuff i linked into my earlier comment, the same guy "karl friston" did a cool precision-weighting based overview on schizophrenia called the dysconnection hypothesis. but digression aside, making too many confabulations in your local model around sparsely connected patters without that "wide bayesian basin" i mention, means you end up with weird beliefs or expectations becoming salient enough to drown out more robustly grounded expectations, leading to odd beliefs and actions.

why the rants? i just want to comprehend the world around me. difficult when the most salient social structures reward sycophantic energy reducing behaviours over energy consuming 'dissertation level' conversations.

if you have to exist in diverse environments, the local minima won't always transfer, and leads to friction.

i just want people enough on the same page that the world isn't run by the least intellectually qualified people you could imagine. we all out here minimizing free energy, and the energy saving culture of running on social heuristics is much more memetic than trying to absorb all of the complexity that the academic eggheads are usually peacocking around. i just want more artists and social communicators to participate and help mediate between the complexity and our shared culture and behaviours, such as the conflict in OP's post. yadda yadda.

i wish you better luck in your future sparse pattern recognition, and uh, CIA endeavours.

if you actually read this far, i appreciate the energy you gave to comprehending this stuff, even if you confused the heck out of me with your intent and comparison.

Oh, I comprehend it. I understand you to some degree, at the very least I have insights into the archetype your project in your speech, and my intuition tells me it's more than coincidence.

Do I sincerely believe you're dart? It's possible, but I also understand that even rare archetypes show up at some frequency. I appreciate your endeavors for clarity; as I'm sure you're aware, a lot of people can't digest chucks of text like you create. I create similar ones myself, being schizoaffective n autistic and literally being used by the military industrial complex for counterintelligence purposes because I told my ROTC cadre that my sister got me pregnant.

Of course, then the Illuminati and God got involved, so naturally the FBI found out because they got God really early on and He flipped. But I just wanted to make conversation with someone interesting. Thank you!
