in-group filtering Anonymous 110747
once power starts to accumulate in a community, whether its social or economic, bad actors will inevitably try to insert themselves into the community in order to use said powers abusively.
how would you prevent these bad actors from proliferating in your in-group? moreover, how do you prevent people from trying to drag down your in-group? a sense of accountability i guess is a must.
i think there are certain mechanisms which can gatekeep the types of people whose proliferation you would not like to see and rewards those whose proliferation you would like to see. for example, a strong academic structure awards those with the best intellectual rigor. a culture which values its teachers and pools resources towards curriculum planning, textbooks, etc. will proliferate academics, intellects, and long term planners.
what about rewarding those who are honest and good at cooperation? people who are highly empathic and those who are emotionally resilient? that becomes slightly trickier. it is concerning to me that, everywhere in social media, the people that gain the most notoriety are those who are not good at cooperative play, are aggressive, time-wasting, or emotionally manipulative. how do you gatekeep emotionally manipulative people from a community? why is it that the world's "bullies" are winning?
it only becomes a matter of trying to cultivate a culture which rewards good people. but i'm not even sure how one would do that. i am just sick of seeing bad people around, seeing badness in me, and wondering if the next generation will suffer from it.
