I guess. I don’t see much evidence that groups in any way self-correct thanks 
to this collective reflection. It isn’t even that frustrating. The main take 
home for me is to simply not to bother communicating. It’s a waste of time.

IDK. It's useful to remind oneself how batshit everyone (including oneself from 
years ago or years from now) is. It's only frustrating when you're, as Steve 
put it, high on your own supply. It's funny. At the salon, when I manage to 
repeat back some batshit perspective one of the participants extruded onto the 
table, well enough such that the person who extruded the guano honestly 
believes I "get it" ... my closer friends looking at me like I've been 
body-snatched, etc. When that happens, I can't help but wonder why these people 
are all so convinced of their own views.

People are just weird. It's not a campaign slogan. It's the truth.
