The objective severity of our histories may be of little importance when compared to the subjective hold they appear to have on us.
To paraphrase physician and author Gabor Maté, we are not what happened to us but what happened inside of us as a result of what happened to us. https://t.co/RhbUWBtYCv
By default, anthropic hides these "inner thought" aka text chunks. This is the reason why sometimes you see the anthropic flower loading in the middle of a response. Claude is basically deliberating at arbitrary points of a response for a better output - imo one of the most underrated unhobblings.

do not assume that your suffering is a proof of your authenticity. do not fall in love with it. renunciation of pleasure can easily turn into pleasure of renunciation itself.
Cognitive Revolutions and Agency
A good passage in continuation of the note on collective imaginations.
Responsibility that should be borne by an individual is dissolved amongst a group, who rely on the process of deliberation, passing on the responsibility to the organization.
Excerpt: “Committees are commonly used in our society because they create the illusion of avoiding risk. They are a wonderful device for avoiding responsibility while making the institution seem more rather than less accountable. Modern institutions have overloaded on actual risk while fleeing the appearance of it, especially if you count “failing at core mission” as a risk. Such aversion to the appearance of the unusual can’t be justified on economic grounds. Rather, it is a socially driven aversion.“
