#GRANDSTANDING #VIRTUESIGNALLING

humble signaling (similar to humble bragging);

I used to [bad behavior] because I was [bad attribute].

is the formula for a subtle type of virtue signaling that not only signals a person’s humility in recognizing/confessing to his or her former vice, but also the ability to overcome that vice and become virtuous.

Virtue Signalling seems a good term for "good" people who say their #truth but never help #debate or #explain it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtue_signalling

#1way posts hold quite an ineffective position as it's not deeper #communication or deeper #2way "understanding".

Almost non-participatory distance / echoes/ #nonplayers.

At least the bad #Trump etc give their bullshit reasoning.

Many good guys / #victims don't want to explain the logic.

A colleague shared a post today that inspired this, let's say, 'response'. Do #LLMs ruin everything?

This is always in the back of my head anyway, so it wasn't particularly difficult to write a #blog post and ask #NotebookLM to summarise it for a #podcast.

@scribblanitea @RolloTreadway Will the occasional #gammaRay escape do the #virtueSignalling part?

The mom pushing the baby carriage, and the grandmother with her I presume, were happily surprised that I clearly stepped in the puddle of water so they could pass me.

#virtuesignalling my goodness.

Although, it's less a feat when you factor in that:

1. My boots are waterproof and winter ready.
2. I avoid picturing my own mother slapping me across the head and telling me she raised me better than that.

Doing myself the favour, really.
