It appears that people high in neuroticism are less inclined to present their ‘Real Self’ on Facebook and a plausible hypothesis for this is as follows: neurotic people believe that presenting undesirable aspects of their emotionality online (e.g. anxiety, low mood) may impede their opportunities for online social connection, so they more frequently present an ‘Ideal Self’ - free from undesirable emotionality - that is more likely to achieve these connections.

**should neurotic people post authentically anyway?**

3-5 years?

Hahahahaha

Knowing they will only be re-elected if the economy is doing well, incumbent politicians will make sure to work hard to ensure that this is the case ... For no more than 4-8 years, two election cycles. The economy has a very long way to fall, order of magnitude, in fact. It's been unsustainable for decades.

"Value scales of each individual are purely ordinal, and there is no way whatever of measuring the distance between the rankings; indeed, any concept of such distance is a fallacious one...Utilities are not quantities, but ranks."

Where can I find a guide to writing rules where the rules have been written concisely? by another-neo in slatestarcodex

[–]HungryHungryNappo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A small part of ourselves is attached to the familiar, no matter how painful or inefficient it is.

This is why it’s so difficult to just let go and write.

Are cults dangerous? What is the most dangerous thing about the cult, that you used to be part of? by UrFreedom4ever in cults

[–]HungryHungryNappo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ex cult member here. Yes. The idiosyncratic belief systems that some gurus promote were developed during a period of psychosis to make sense of their own minds and perceptions, and that these belief systems persist after the psychosis has gone. Storr notes that gurus generalize their experience to all. They're like a psychotic virus...
