Jay Stephens (jaystephens@mastodon.social)'s status on Thursday, 11-Jan-2024 20:10:06 JST Jay Stephens Thesis: one of the mechanisms that tricks smart people into the conspiracy bullshit vortex is the offer of unlimited contrarianism.
Smart geeks were bullied at school, and in most other situations thought and acted differently from those around them. It's bound up in their identity and a source of pride.
Agreement with the consensus can be twisted into feeling like a betrayal of their own essence.

Jay Stephens (jaystephens@mastodon.social)'s status on Wednesday, 02-Aug-2023 09:57:03 JST Jay Stephens @oliphant 100% this.
There is precious little difference between a block, and the act of walking away because you no longer want to hear what a person is saying. If they follow you and start shouting and ranting, well... -

Jay Stephens (jaystephens@mastodon.social)'s status on Wednesday, 19-Jul-2023 21:14:03 JST Jay Stephens @aral possibly irrelevant but when I was a new immigrant without much credit history I was able to get a mortgage with one of the smaller non-bank lenders paying an extra 2.5% interest, then switch loans 9 months later to a normal bank once I had some payment history. Good luck man.
