|content=[[Morals|Moral]]: don’t be afraid to be more disagreeable for your kids with schools, hospitals and other instutions. You may be treated by the instution as a crazy person. But deep down they know why you are doing it and they respect your love for your family. And your children deserve it.

|content=[[Morals|Moral]]: you aren’t losing your mind just because you‘re the only one who remembers or believes something. You may be crazy, but that isn’t a legitimate argument on its own. The 🌎 can still seem to forget things in the age of Google & you may be one of the only ones who remember.

|content=Sometimes you think you remember something but you can’t find reference to it. No one else seems to remember it. You start to doubt yourself. Hard. “Did I invent that? Is that a figment of my imagination? Am I lying?”
This happened to me with a song. I couldn’t find it anywhere.

|content=In my mind, it was called “Standing on the Corner” and it was uptempo & put me in a good mood. I thought it was sung by Chris Youlden. But all references went to the Four Lads. Or Dean Martin. People would assure me that was the song. But I couldn’t accept that. That song sucked!

|content=Then I would be assured that our “minds play tricks”. That “Memory is a funny thing” and that “You should be happy that your imagination came up with a song you like!” All very understanding. Eventually this made me feel crazy. How could that be?!?
So, many years ago, I gave up.

|content=How could something exist and the internet not know it? To this day I don’t think Spotify has it.
But then, I checked back in.
And there it was...and exactly as it was in my mind. Someone actually had to video a turntable playing it!
I hope you like it:

|content=Are you disgruntled? Controversial? Gritting? Pwned? Cancelled? Dunning-Kruger?
Are semi anonymous accounts ROTFL at you? Do you get a lot of hate that looks suspiciously similar? All at once? Consider that not all of it is real. There are very few tricks left that can stop you.

|content=Social media fascilitates newly frictionless flows of text.
One way to view modern outrage is that our mobs are driving the cost of discussing off-narrative reality in public by driving *private* costs.
Threaten our fragile institutions, and the response comes back personal.

|content=That’s actually very weird. Why would pointing out a problem w/ a political party, tech platform or newspaper earn a response about individual appearance or personal moral fitness? Yet that is what happens. Allege a problem in political economy, you get your dress sense insulted.

[[Morals|Moral]]: if you are saying something disruptive, It may be that relentless accounts personally attacking you semi-anonymously are motivated by simple self-preservation of an institution:

Thank you @theragun! The last 4 days would have been brutal, or I‘d have ended up drugging my pain.🙏

I would never have bought this Theragun percussive therapy device had they not sponsored The Portal. I didn’t even appreciate it until I started feeling deep muscle pain. Now I’m living on it and using no pain reliever medication.

|content=Learn to notice accounts that overuse ridicule. An account that overuses LMAO, ROTFL, meh, ha ha, loser, etc, etc, is trying to bypass your rational mind to get at your evolutionary programming to avoid expulsion from society.
Learn to notice the strategy working, and laugh. 🙏

|content=We don’t empower [[No-Living-Heroes Theory|living heroes]] with the ability to challenge institutions.
We allow for individuals tied to institutions. We allow collective heroism (e.g. crews of astronauts are neither individual nor unaffiliated). But Lindbergh taught them the danger.
And so we now destroy.

|content=Most of my real heroes now appear before me as scoundrels. They are mired in smears, whisper campaigns, impoverished by boycotts, cancelled, beset by campaigns to discredit everything they do, say, or even observe.
That isn’t an accident. It is reputation warfare known as [[Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt (FUD)|F.U.D.]]

|content=[[Morals|Moral]]: Institutions are doing you a favor by whittling down the set of possible heroes. Ask yourself:
[[Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt (FUD)|FEAR]]: who frightens me?
[[Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt (FUD)|UNCERTAINTY]]: who is unpredictable?
[[Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt (FUD)|DOUBT]]: who lives under a cloud of questions particularly with respect to motive.
Then ask: is there a [[Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt (FUD)|FUD]] campaign?
