Ask HN: What Is Your Worldview?
2 by lookinward | 0 comments on Hacker News.
I've recently been struggling with the "Robert Greene" worldview: life is a battlefield of psychological warfare. Greene adopts a postmodernist lens of seeing social situations as transactions of power between people. While this view and the associated tactics have allowed me to identify malicious people in my personal life, I find it neither romantic nor rewarding. It pains me deeply to worry about wolves in sheep's clothing, and to worry about miscategorising people (both false negatives and false positives). I want to know your worldview. I'm a strong believer in the cliche that you find what you're looking for. In effect, the confirmation bias. I find HN to be an honest crowd largely due to the nature of our work. I ask you to take a leap and share your worldview. Maybe we can figure this out together. Thank you.
