When the Stranger says: "what is the meaning of this city? Do you huddle close together because you love each other?" How will you answer? "We all dwell together to make money from each other"? Or "This is a community"?

I knew a dickhead once that didn't ruin the workplace. It was already ruined.

What is really fascinating is to read this in light of the "core values" of Angelo State: www.angelo.edu/about-asu/co...

One might think just reading the values of the university aloud in class is enough to run a foul of the implicit policies!

You probably already know this, but there's a fair amount of discussion on how conspiracy communities (like qanon) are LARPing.

Nice! In my own work I suggest this as a remedy to various problems in social disagreement and interpretation. It's an old idea (going back to kant at least) but it would be nice to cite more current stuff in support!

This is so cool! Do you take up whether imaginative contagion could be a catalyst for moral growth? Coming to appreciate morally good views one didn't previously hold?

Child psychologists have been saying for decades that screen time is very bad for children but who cares because some disruptor with investment capital and an Instagram campaign said "I will subsidize this for you so it will be cheaper than the underpaid teacher you currently have" 🤦‍♀️
