>>513203092Just remember that this is a performance. This whole you lost, dilate, etc., thing is a ritual. It's designed to perform confidence. The reason why they want to perform confidence is because it acts as a kind of backdoor into social consciousness. The intended reaction is something like
>wow they're so confident... i wouldn't act that confident unless i had something to be confident aboutAnd therefore that there exists some underlying strategy or coherence from which the confidence is drawn.
The problem is, there's nothing underneath it. There's no policy knowledge or deeper reservoir of rigor or... anything, really. It's a bunch of people performing confidence and telling you to dilate. There's literally nothing more.
