Just relistening to the @pablo.show and @add-hawk.bsky.social talk about scores, metrics, gamification, goals, purposes, value capture, shame, and more. Skeleton key to everything? youtu.be/7AdbePyGS2M?...

I appreciate a lot about Ms. Rachel but in the top 5 somewhere is that she demonstrates how effectively the powers of permanent, irrepressible theater kid energy can be harnessed for good

How? Two mechanisms. Normative learning: feeds show us, thousands of times a day, what people like us think and do, and who gets rewarded or piled on. Reinforcement learning: likes and shares at unpredictable intervals train habits, like reflexively dismissing certain sources.

What shifts is our epistemic style: who we trust, how much evidence it takes to change our minds, which explanations feel satisfying. Engagement-driven curation -> cognitively delicious content: outrage, out-group attacks, simplicity. True or false, it teaches the same lessons about *how* to think.

This builds on work I admire: @mjcrockett.bsky.social's research on moral outrage and social learning online, and @add-hawk.bsky.social's work on hostile epistemology, value capture, and how Twitter gamifies communication. Both shaped my thinking a lot.
