Tiffany Lime as a kid, reading the fable about the emperor who has no clothes: what a dumb story
me today, living through the current political situation: ok i get it now
NilaJonesIs this a test for autism? Or are all kids puzzled by why anyone would pretend and give into peer pressure?
cwicseolfor@NilaJones @tiffanycli This! Or put another way, how early in life do adults prevail in enculturating children to disregard evidence in favor of a consensus reality? Some of us NDs just don’t “grow out of” that self-orientation and imo that’s strong evidence having a random blend of us in a population is adaptive on a population level when survival is at stake. “This water tastes fine” only has to be wrong once.
That's a very interesting idea, about evidence and consensus reality
