Things I hate about making an ideology

Bullet points poast 1

Short bullet point post about things you lowkey need to do to memetically succeed:

• focus on market rather than what is true

• appeal to normies

• be smug, like Eliezer is. With his absolute confidence and no admission of the possibility of being wrong, he plays the role of a cult leader flawlessly

• need to maintain some mystery

• need to choose some ancient tradition that was actually right and we need to retvrn to - from Marxist primitive matriarchal communism, through classical liberalism to Bronze Age

• need to present some enemy and a heroic struggle of the underdog - that's what Moldbug did. the enemy must be simultanoeusly powerful and weak.

• you need to say what is true, but also that whole bunch of paradoxes to fit into the memetic landscape

Read this as a disclaimer about what's about to come...
