Thank you! I’m happy you found it useful. 😊

Oh there’s a big question! It keeps getting harder but the fundamentals remain the same. Are you asking about the US? Bluesky is a great stopgap space for the moment but it needs to be used very effectively and quickly to create cohorts and stigmergic action.

Endogroups are a recipe for war. The recipe for war in fact, and all other oppression.

Abusive relationships, totalitarian states, cults, capitalism, the structure of education, corporations, the worship of youth and beauty, gender roles, most institutions, such as prisons, schools, hospitals - all of these are power structures, which take the form of endogroups.

A cult is a specific type of endogroup. The same structure can scale down to two people or up to the world and be based on anything at all – common dominant endogroups today are more likely to be based on wealth, knowledge, health, age, official status, sex, ‘race’ however, that is defined, etc.

Traditionally a cult had a very different meaning which is why it shares a root with the word culture. but with the word cult the way it is used today, yes, that’s a specific type of endogroup. The same structure can scale all the way down to two people or all the way up to the world.

The best way to block this is to stop the initial identification and guilt transfer that creates a negative image. The identification in the US has been accelerating for decades. Complete impunity for crimes at the top has also been increasing for decades.

In times when endogroups are strengthening because the endo-ideal wants to accrue power, persecution of the negative image increases. The dominant endo idealisms in the US - citizenship, wealth, health, industrial, white, male, etc., each have their own negative image and they will all be targeted.

More of a tactic of anyone who wants to establish a dominant relationship, whether that is between two people or at a state or global level. The tactics and roles remain the same - it just scales up. The ‘con’ Is getting everyone to accept the shared group endoreality.

From two angles, yes. Nearly every working environment is an endogroup which is exhausting and draining for the negative image -employees. In Abstracting Divinity I talk about it much more specifically, what is happening at the level of interactions and how to block those interactions and replenish.

Endogroups are a structure that is used as an emergency power for defence in social groupings. The social/emotional/cognitive functioning of people in endogroups changes according to their roles. Endogroups were never intended to be permanent structures, but now they are.

Endogroups are from The Creation of Me, Them and Us:

Hello, all you lovely new followers! I’m spending most of my time curled up writing books, and trying to overcome social media PTSD from years ago so I’m not on here often, but I will check back and answer anybody that talks to me. I appreciate you being here, that was a very cool surprise! xox

A great week to be talking to the US about endogroups! They’re hard to see when you’re inside them and the whole world is dividing into very entrenched endogroups again.

The first question is the one I came here to answer. "Bluesky is great, do we still need Getgee?" Yes we do, Bluesky and G are very different and used for different purposes. There is a lot of explanatory material in the link in my bio. foreignpolicy.com/2024/08/27/b... bsky.app/profile/jay....

There is a lot of room for growth but whether you can do it without tens of millions depends on what you are developing.

No, if you look at the decoupled ecosystem, the layers should be almost opaque to the end user. It needs buy in from the application developers, very few of which are going to give up the source of their billions, the user data and captive users. G is closer to the www than to Twitter.

We still need to follow principles and teach people stigmergic organization. The execution is increasingly difficult because of the tools, endogroup strengthening, and the dumbing down and removal of will from the public. That's another huge education task. georgiebc.wordpress.com/2017/08/01/t...
