    It’s hard to talk to people about this. Nobody seems to understand it. Kind of reminds me 10 or so years ago when the “I have nothing to hide” team ignored me as I warned about Internet privacy and the impact on swaying opinions and controlling experiences. This threat level is way higher.

        Similar associations, I’ve also noticed that my clumsiest and least respected opinions and predictions tend to be the most correct in the end. My well argumented and thought through ones are less so, because honestly they are adaptations, as much of my inner perception as I can put into words avoiding things almost impossible to defend against common emotional vibe-based opinions.

          Well, i don’t have that problem, because of my mental illness powers, but i do start reconsidering an opinion or prediction if i can get people to agree with it.
