ADHD is an optimal stopping pathology in the recursive explore/exploit problem, wherein one overvalues opportunity cost due to a scarcity mindset learned in early childhood from unreliability of the provider, incentivizing exploration of other strategies

leaders are those who cross the rational self-interest gap to create a collaborative Schelling point, disincentivizing defection as it is no longer justified by the lack of a trustworthy collaboration framework

living thru a singularity is utterly wild, so much is constantly changing and so many new things happening; been feeling like it's difficult to keep up without devoting time to just that. lowkey thinking I want to take time off next year just to focus on this. swim or drown.

take care with your belief structures, for they use you as much as you use them. there is no memetic free lunch; each meme you let inside your mind is a gamble against cordyception. over a long-enough time horizon, no one is immune.

I've written a bit re: how ideology shapes/guides the structure of one's thoughts & the various pathologies it can generate; institutions captured by a given ideological frame are even more vulnerable to these failure modes than individuals are

agent simulations weren't too popular historically for a variety of reasons (computational challenges, claims of overengineering, etc) but many real-world systems are sufficiently complex that assumptions of global homogeneity simply don't hold

v glad to see attitudes changing

generally I'm majorly in favor of agent-based models for simulating any domain where network topology is salient (ie where internode interactions are heterogenous and cliquey)

even probabilistic variants tend to better model real-world dynamics than purely analytic approaches
