There are literally billions of people on the internet of whom a few million think, that they can behave in a manner, in which they would not dare to do, if they would be standing right in front of you.
I've been around the internet block for a while; I know what Flame Wars are and I know what insults on the internet are, in comparison to real life
My motto is to behave in a manner in which you want people to behave towards you
If you meet a troll, simply Silence, mute or Block
Honesty oaths are most effective if they are specific about the (potentially dishonest) behavior to be controlled, and if the oaths are made immediately before the honesty challenge.
Brain Activity Can Predict Crowd Behavior
https://neurosciencenews.com/brain-activity-crowd-behavior-28440/
A new study shows that brain activity in small groups can predict large-scale decision-making. Using fMRI, researchers found that activity in the Nucleus Accumbens (NAcc) during initial affective responses consistently aligned with choices made by thousands of online participants.

Não penso em nada, ninguém me altera o ritmo. Pensar dói. A antiga sátira social, mordaz e atroz, temida como uma epidemia (a da Peste Negra, em Londres, em 1666 (a Covid-19, em 2020). Nada, ninguém me altera o siso.

I don't think about anything, nobody changes my rhythm. Thinking hurts. The ancient social satire, scathing and atrocious, feared like an epidemic (the Black Death in London in 1666 (Covid-19 in 2020). Nothing, nobody changes my wits.

"Narcissists Feel Left Out and Fuel More Rejection, Study Finds"
"Narcissists may seem self-assured, but new research shows they often feel excluded -- and their behavior may be making things worse."

Narcissists are significantly more likely to feel excluded, new study finds
Narcissists tend to be excluded in social circles because of their disruptive behaviors, and if they feel left out, their arrogant and aggressive behaviors will only intensify, a new study suggests.
Uh, no comment...

@GossiTheDog does the following seem a plausible near future, given current trends? What do you think?
@cstross
what about a new fiction novel where the hero (winston?) talks along these lines?
"Given current technological evolutions, efficiency ministry actions of deleting humans from the control loop, and the last trends in huge investments annoncements by gov.corp, it seems that they could try to make all of us ruled by their far right biased AIs and their facists supporters using:
- iots and predictive behavioral analytics to ensure the security of their fascist gov.corp and control of production/distribution lines.
- biased cryptomoney (traceable via the gov.corp
AI running their blockchains, only for middle and low class to detect and respond threats to gov.corp and their landlords, rich man transactions do not appear on the blockchains)
-autonomous robots/drones (police, soldiers ,...). Used also to lead wars against other nations.
- autonomous research without any factual check on drugs produced by their AI simulated labs before release in the wild. No more complaints, take the drug now (insurance companies?)
- endpoint data analytics on individuals where only metadata/neural net embedded mobile AI chips analysis results (behavioral deviance opposition) will be sent centrally to AIs/digital twins analysis. This is inline with social network analytics for individual targeting and seems in line with recent events (fiction events inspired by "recall" feature enabled "by error" in one gafam os, edr capabilities and failures - cfr crowdstrike disaster, face recognition based on neural nets un mobile chip,...).
- iots datas (cameras, doorbells, mobile, smart tv, smart watch,...) and mobile datas feeded blockchains recording all abnormal behavior of individuals creating a "digital twin" of each of us to predict what we will do next and prevent any resistance by "pushing out" of this "new order" the most important " nodes" of resistance found in the digital twin social graph.
-deepfakes created using sample conversations for work and/or private life via internet (inspired by covid and today's tech level) .
- the resisting people see their payment means (digital Wallet) blocked by the gov.corp AI on their mobile operating system if they do not obey.
- the resisting people start to disappear physically and are replaced by their digital twin and deepfakes online.
what they seem to want to impose is not limited to usa. It is also in the process to be imposed everywhere else (Europe, ...). This is not a putsch against the usa, this is a putsch against all the human race freedom of people by extremely rich religious madmens/bigots/extremists that believe they are in a dark enlightment moment, that they will reach singularity, will get rid of workers via strong leader ruling imposed by AIs/robotics and will bring sentient biased maximal efficiency AI,with sociopathic features similar to their own, as our new leader (no more elections).
This is how they will maximize efficiency and rule on it by destroying freedom and society.
And do not believe that you can vote with your feet by moving to other company or nation, they and their AIs will own all of them with different apparent flavors with the same disgusting value: all fascists to their core.
In such a panopticon world, they do not need people to protect other people from the bad guys. No cybersecurity specialist, no nuclear reactors specialists, no CISOs, no human police , no human military, no regulator , no science or even democratic gov to avoid their technological bigotry excess or abuse of power based on rule of human centered law and more importantly " human values". These are now obsoleted by efficiency and optimisation of profits for shadowy shareholders thanks to their AIs controlling the market by using digital twins predictive analytics and minority of shares in most companies to block décisions that would not be acceptable for the AI plan.
They are the bad guys ruling the world through their owned AIs, iots and robots for physical constraints. No more human in the loop than the richests man on earth (or mars).
Fuck them. They are disgusting. Wetware brains that created these AIs, the decentralized internet and were the first generation of cipherpunks of history are coming back to support resistance for freedom and push back revenge. And...Satoshi is back and is on our side to help design it."
