@UncleIroh I've cracked the normie code!
Normie = weak mind + agreeable + low iq (maybe) + herd-like + naive - SKEPTICISM
Constant betrayal (bonus points if it's an authority figure) precipitates skepticism.
Most normies have no reason to:
think independently
distrust the government
If it weren't for my skepticism I wouldn't be here.
I think plays the biggest part in all this since we know high IQ people who still took the vax
@basedbagel @UncleIroh I would argue that it takes some sort of conflict with the environment against what they were taught in society. When things just don’t add up that’s when you start to question things. When you overcome your desire for comfort and herd safety for a desire of curiosity and truth, then you start to separate from normies. We were all normies at one point in our lives, Its like a default setting for most people.
Kudos for the subject.
"Normie" can mean many things but in statistics it refers to those under the bell curve of normal distribution; the 80 in the 80/20 rule.
The reason why rules of thumb are so godamn useful is that they invariably nail it when it comes to describing normie behavior.
Your formula,
Normie = weak mind + agreeable + low iq (maybe) + herd-like + naive - SKEPTICISM
is too complicated to be a rule of thumb. It's on the right track though..
I think the key to the normie code is this: a natural tendency to comply, such that compliance overrides one's own personal intuition or reason.
It's taken a long time for me to even see this, let alone come to terms with it.
Note that this definition has NOTHING to do with one's ability to reason or to intuit. Someone with uncanny levels of intuition or galactic levels of intelligence will still fail if their Archilles heel is deference to authority.
After all, compliance is at the heart of the Asch Conformity Experiment that TFM likes to talk about. You know who else is more agreeable and compliant by nature?
Women.
You could make a good case that the root of Feminism's destructive success is weaponized agreeableness; their innate tendency to conform and defer.
In real life, female Dominatrix's are incredibly rare. Women just don't have it in them and their natural desires are exactly opposite.
Well said.
My normies have just noticed that their immune system is weaker than it used to be.
It only took about 2 years for them to find out but I guess that's progress?
Good point women have to be agreeable as they're biologically incapable of independence.
The agreeableness explains how I was able to see some of this even before I was blue pill.
@I_AmTheKnight @basedbagel
As for the origins of skepticism, you're probably right that this trait can be partially found in a history of childhood trauma and/or betrayal.
I can totally see that being the connecting thread.
