We could call total extreme polarization “un-mixing” (that is otherwise naturally mixing)

“Total success/total acceptance” versus “total failure/total denial/total rejection”

Rather than anything in between those extreme/polarizing spectrum ends

Which relates with erasing the middle as well as the entire rest of the spectrum except for the extreme polarities/edges

Notice how “all or nothing” style bullshit relates directly with extreme/extremism and polarizing and imbalancing and disproportionality
November 10, 2025 at 1:46 PM
Rather than pick and choose diversely Based on inspiration and true resonance

It’s interesting how the formal/inorganic version of “role model“ relates with “all or nothing“

As in like positioning, person/people as if you must accept and swallow and follow all of these qualities or you must accept and swallow and follow none of these qualities

So this can relate to a consent and natural inspiration versus inorganic strategy/FORCE kinda thing

…Versus a person/people being formally positioned and promoted as the model of role model/role modeling with the expectation that people disproportionate/exclusively select their qualities that which is positioned as role model, and not from that which is not positioned as role model
November 10, 2025 at 1:37 PM
Maybe this relates to some of the issues/challenge also is that there is a big difference I think between the individual/people being able to pick and choose qualities that they are compelled and inspired by functioning as like informal “role model”

But you’re disqualified from positioning yourself as a role model because, again, that violates the true sourcing of the position (as needing to come naturally from and by the people)
November 10, 2025 at 1:28 PM
But it’s absurd too, because you could hypothetically be a good if not great role model that is otherwise absent and unacknowledged in a compromised/unnatural populace
November 10, 2025 at 1:28 PM
People have to endow you in that role as model
You violate the boundary of it by endowing yourself as it
November 10, 2025 at 1:28 PM
Role models are useful and good
To the degree they are useful and good
But you’re not/can’t be a role model if you say/act as if you are for the sake of being/reaping the benefits of being one (kinda like humility)
November 10, 2025 at 1:28 PM
And can relate with “do vs don’t let perfection be the enemy (prevent-ur/gatekeeper/crypt-keeper) of good”
November 10, 2025 at 1:28 PM
And maybe all of the issues/challenges with “role models + role modeling“ relate directly with all of the issues with “modeling” in general

It’s kinda like a paradox, a catch-22 (h/t Heller)

(Maybe “black hole in a body suit” could be more aptly stated as “a black hole in a body bag/bag body” as in “a bag of bones masquerading as a body of being” not necessarily other interps of that term)

…which misrepresentatively/untruthfully flattens + reduces our capacity+conception of humanity, which misrepresentatively flattens+reduces people’s capacity (carrot) for being + feeling about LIFE, self, each other, & humanity/human potential in general, the worst misappraisal spreading everywhere]
November 10, 2025 at 1:12 PM
[I think a major part of this relates with people that have little-to-no FEEL/FEELING, literally OUT of-TOUCH, NO TOUCH, more husk than human, but act + talk like they are the essence/epitome/mode of FEEL(ing) + Being Human…
