And then you're going to counterattack me, which means eventually we'll kill each other.

So we should just kill each other now.

Like when you are taking your advice on how to handle social conflict from the warring European powers that got into World War I, maybe not a good, like positive example.

It's just so, like, even in understanding how they got there, it still is such a stress.

Like, even having all this back, it's still, like, really taking some leaps.

It's, yeah, I mean, just having a fight with your friend and then opening your locket, which has, like, Kaiser Wilhelm and the Tsar in it and going, what would you guys do here?

Ancestors guide me.

And again, you know, part of what's going on here is this timeless decision theory bullshit, right?

Ziz believes that she makes it clear at this point when they start having a conflict that the stakes will immediately escalate to life or death.

Gwyn won't risk fucking with her, right?

But by doing this, she also immediately creates a situation where she feels unsafe.

However, in that conflict, Gwyn yields and Ziz concludes that the technique works, right?

So then her man must be what she thinks it is.

Yes, yes.

her man is strong and this is a good idea for handling all conflicts, right?

So I'm gonna increasingly teach all these people who are listening to me that this is the like escalation loop that you handle every conflict with, right?

Great stuff.

One of the young people who got drawn to Zizit this time was Maya Pasek, who blogged under the name Squirrel in Hell.

She wrote about mainstream rationalist stuff, citing Gidkowski and Elon Musk.

But in her blog, there's like a pattern of depressive thought.
