Think they cannot be observed by that which it can't see
Someone will need to pay for this. Those who already knew better had a duty to stand up against manipulative tactics, but it's those who play dumb which haunt me. They want the changes, they accept the changes and want them to be forced on everyone else.
This is their leap forward, so to speak, and they're happy to cover their eyes and ears until a new serf class is rubbing their feet
Psychology of mask wearing
Embedded in us to feel less exposed when we cannot be observed
Antithetical to concept of publc transparency
Changing Perspectives: Virtual Self
We used to make fun of people who used computers too much, date online personas, avoid sports
Helicopter Parenting
Enabling regression
A means to tantalize tyrannous aspects of one's persona as an adult
Allowing their own satisafction in resolution by proxy over challenges that are comparatively less challenging to them
New culture of this
Doing vs Speaking
Culture of believing one is doing =by merely speaking
Child mentality where we believe we are fully developed based on what we believe are other's perception of us
All thanks and no real work
Challenge
Culture which is averse to real challenge.
Always an escape route that can be used
Excuses
Low expectations
Accomplishments
Acknowledging mental illness
Acknowledgment as an accomplishment
One's identity as an accomplishment
We all have our accomplishments (because we have identities)
Inherent capabilities are less important
Speaking = Accomplishing. Be the only one permitted to speak
Speaking
For power and attention
Validation by the group
For things that are unverifiable and not to be challenged
Identity
Born with the characteristics which make up an identity
Capabilities are already set, no need to develop them
Do as you please, if you are permitted
If you can do it, and you like it, it is good
No understanding of hard, tedious work
More viable, complexity conslidated, easier to be great
No habit of pursuit which yields perspective to look beyond identity
Masks facilitate our ability to discern from the group
Personal satisfaction is replaced by satisfaction of receiving attention, because needs and policy demonstrate that people are confident and compete, we just need to ensure that they are given spotlight -> recognition by others is what matters, and we must not scuitinize because it impedes their greatness, thus no expectation of being challenged. One can feel safe making absurd claims without repercussion
Empty standard
Having only virtual accomplishments already settled with this standard
The mask is really for them because it becomes the presentation of their identity and digital implements
