Usually I choose the middle way, trying to find a healthy balance.
The 'middle way' is to choose the status quo. That is to the advantage of those in power.
'The middle way' is to choose that side. (consciously or otherwise).
The Middle-Ground Fallacy can be such a pest, sometimes all the presented options are poison, sometimes none of them or anything in between is a good option.
The foolish notion that what is best or completely true MUST be in the middle, that somehow between two extremes the "SOLUTION" is there. The Midwits will eat it right up.
You speak of very important things. Left Wing, Right Wing, or somewhere between it... Same Devil. Same lies.
I am extremely glad you have done so much work on The Midwit.
I have personally done work regarding The Egopath.
@lucylin, our work overlaps.
I have created many models and classifications.
Ex.
- The Circle of Slaves
- Flying Monkey Subroles
- The Mask of Perfection.
My work on the role "Comfort Camper" to be added into The Circle of Slaves led me to you.
I needed to learn about Midwits and if they fit in the Comfort Camper role, they do, and the Comfort Camper role they play keeps them as the Midwits you have so talked about.
I have made some videos with Tyr Ravensohn on YouTube, especially one regarding NPCs / Sheeple / Comfort Campers.
It's only been recently that I've found your posts here on Midwits and it is a GOLDMINE.
I've been developing a model showing just how Midwits are herded around, and this game of manipulation does involve the Hegelian Dialectic (or PRS, Problem-Reaction-Solution). As Hegel once said "[The Hegelian Dialectic framework is about] manipulating consciousness into a circular pattern of thought and action which never leads to a TRUE solution". Sounds like a perfect mental prison for Midwits.
Systems work as designed, not simply as intended. You are not told the rules, as they want you to keep you playing THEIR game following THEIR RULES in a PARTICULAR WAY. Telling you the rules is not in their best interests. Much like the Monty Hall problem, you are told some of the rules, but not all of them. You are not told the rules that the gameshow host must follow. You are told "You must pick 1 of 3 doors" but never told "I will always pick the right door unless you pick that door".
I've commented here so you'd become aware of me in case you are interested about learning what I bring to the table. I plan on releasing an explanatory video on YouTube with my account EgopathTime once I am finished this Mass Manipulation Model (name is still pending).
