technoblade: a takedown - pt. 1

(not clickbait)

aka i go over every argument people make against c!techno one by one and determine whether they’re valid, false, or a mixture of both. i rewatched every single stream/video, including those on his alt channel, so i could approach this with the most information possible. i’ll be breaking this up into parts because there’s just too much otherwise. all about the characters unless stated.

techno believes in a ‘dog eat dog’ world - false

this is an argument i see used a lot when people discuss techno so i wanted to address it first. luckily, the stream in which he says this is only his fifth stream on the server. there’s one major reason why this argument falls apart and one minor reason that isn’t objective like the first.

first and most importantly: techno has never acted on this. even at the beginning - which is when this comment was made - he was helping his allies, from building railings to keep them from falling, making a potato farm, and all the gear he grinded for to equip his allies in pogtopia with. moving forward, he’s also helped out plenty of people: giving tommy a place to stay and items, telling phil to reach out to ranboo after doomsday, as well as giving both tommy and ranboo food when asked. there’s more, of course, but the point is he’s never once followed up on this statement. he teamed up with quackity to stop the egg. he spoke to niki about how he was giving anarchy a bad reputation because of the violence and wanted to take a different approach which he has.

when people use this argument to insist that techno is the villain, it doesn’t hold up because it’s merely taking one statement he made and upholding it as a main part of his character when his actions and later statements have shown that he doesn’t actually believe in this randian view point. objectively, i can’t see how this argument can extend beyond ‘well, he said it’. regardless of what he said during the pogtopia arc, he’s said the opposite later - wanting everyone to live free with no oppression or imperialism - and has never acted on it nor brought it up later. this take honestly seems disingenuous and was in fact the driving factor of this post.

second and not as critical, techno mentions multiple times during each of his first streams that he’s not sure who all is on his side. this is a reoccurring point for him. he makes the comment about wanting a dog eat dog world during the red festival stream, while speaking to bad and sam. the first part of the conversation is techno asking about state secrets since they’re (as far as techno knows) on manberg’s side. bad mentions schlatt killing cats and techno launches into a spiel about massive anarchy and the weak being huddled in fear, asking them how does that sound. bad says as long as there’s no cat murder, perhaps. bad then asks techno what his ‘single issue’ is and techno responds that he wants to destroy the government. to me, the context of the conversation, who he’s speaking to and what his opinion of those people is, is an important thing to consider.

techno’s ‘we’ll burn that bridge when we get to it’ comment means he was always going to betray pogtopia/l’manberg - valid but not how you think it is

i’ve seen people say that techno saying ‘we’ll burn that bridge when we get to it’ is a clear sign that he was always intending to betray pogtopia/l’manberg which, yeah?

but i wouldn’t call it a betrayal.

he says the ‘we’ll burn that bridge when we get to it’ line at the end of the ‘eve of revolution’ stream while he’s talking to quackity, ponk, and sam. the conversation is as follows:

techno, to quackity: i’m glad we could get to know each other. i heard you’re on our side now. i heard you betrayed schlatt.

quackity: yeah, that’s right. are you betraying anyone?

techno: no. i would never betray my personal ideals.

[some chatter from ponk and quackity]

sam: what does that mean? what if the people you’re fighting along [sic] have different ideals than you, though? doesn’t that mean you’d betray them?

techno: listen... we’ll burn that bridge when we get to it.

then techno states that he ‘said what he said’ when sam questions him about his choice of metaphor.

he actually uses the same malaphor at the beginning of the ‘revolution’ stream when they (quackity and tubbo) question him again and in that case techno definitely avoids the subject which isn’t a good thing but considering everyone was so worked up about the possible traitor, i can completely understand.

overall, techno is extremely upfront about his intentions. yes, there is definitely some miscommunication between all the parties because none of them were on the same page but that doesn’t make techno the bad guy here nor does it mean he betrayed anyone. he was upfront about his intentions from the start.

in his first two streams, he makes a joke that if they happen to set up a new government/president that he would just take that one down and it would be a never-ending cycle. over and over, he says that he wants to do destroy the government/manberg. when tommy mentions taking it back, techno says, ‘what do you mean, take it back?’ though this kind of gets lost in the middle of everything else - dsmp (lack of) communication strikes again.

the takeaway that i see here a lot is that techno always intended to betray them because he knew tommy wanted to take back l’manberg and knew that he would go against them if they set up a new government. and this is true to an extent! he did know that tommy wanted l’manberg back and he did know that he would go against them if they set up a new government. but wilbur was also telling techno that he was on board with the whole anarchy thing.

none of them were on the same page and that surely led to a big chunk of what happened and hurt feelings on both sides but that doesn’t mean techno betrayed anyone or that he was the bad guy for doing exactly what he said he would do from day one.

techno destroying (l’)manberg was wrong - it’s complicated

the first thing to address here is that for most anarchists, destroying a government isn’t a bad thing. in fact, taking down the government/state is basically our goal. now, i don’t speak for all anarchists, of course, but overall the general feeling is that violence in the name of overthrowing an oppressive government is not inherently bad. there’s no way to do a one-for-one here because it’s minecraft but the general sentiment remains. so while violence enacted against the state is a bad thing for people who aren’t anarchists, techno has no reason to and would not view it as inherently bad.

but it did hurt people and techno himself acknowledges that fact. he’s acknowledged what he’s done when confronted about it. he hasn’t said he was wrong because understanding that it was hurtful doesn’t mean he believes he was wrong. to him, he wasn’t. destroying what he viewed as an oppressive system was the right thing to do, even if it hurt people.

(also this isn’t any kind of meta but i think it needs to be pointed out that wilbur had already set off the tnt and techno summoned two killable mobs which did plenty of damage but he didn’t say wilbur was the great who came before them for no reason.)

again, this is going to be the most controversial part of this post because i don’t believe destroying government is a bad thing and i don’t believe techno is wrong for believing that as well. there are better ways to address the problem and techno is adjusting his tactics but if another government was to be established, i don’t believe he would be in the wrong to destroy it because he’s an anarchist.

the tl;dr of this section honestly could just be summed up with ‘watch less marvel, read more ursula k. le guin’.

‘techno is the villain because he called tommy the hero’ - so very false

this is a take i’ve seen that to this day i don’t understand.

techno calling tommy the hero does not mean he was setting himself up as the villain in any capacity. it was merely pointing out tommy’s habit of putting himself at the forefront of almost every conflict, trying to shoulder everything, no matter how it hurts tommy himself. the speech was directed at that and nothing else. it doesn’t mean techno is the villain, it doesn’t even mean there is a villain; there are more stories to be told than the classic hero-villain and the hero-villain narrative doesn’t always apply to stories. (i’d certainly argue that it doesn’t apply to the dream smp but that’s a different conversation.)

techno is to blame for tubbo’s death - false

i think this one has been done to death but what would a techno post be without it?

no, techno is not to blame.

he said over and over that he was outnumbered and believed that if he had done anything, everyone would’ve turned on him and ‘torn him to shreds’. even if that wasn’t the case, it is what techno believed. he had no reason to think that he could take the entire crowd out until he actually fired the rocket launcher. and remember, he tested the rocket launcher earlier during the festival on niki (who volunteered) and it didn’t kill her. when he realized the amount of splash damage it did, he gives a surprised laugh and then begins firing into the crowd.

as for saying he was under ‘mild’ amounts of peer pressure, techno has a habit of minimizing. not just the things he’s done, but often situations that he’s been in that were stressful. he stated that he deals poorly with high stress situations and one of the cognitive distortions that can come with anxiety is minimization. techno doesn’t actually believe it was ‘mild’ peer pressure - it was a situation that caused him enough distress that he brings it up later at doomsday - but it’s easier to deal with a situation when you downplay it, it’s easier for techno to keep up that calm façade when he’s acting as if whatever happened wasn’t that big of a deal even if it was. again, the way he speaks about it on doomsday was clearly upset and emotional.

the only person to blame for tubbo’s death is schlatt. he was the one pulling the trigger and techno was the gun.

if you made it this far, thank you for sticking it out! i spent so many hours rewatching all the streams, some of them multiple times, while taking notes to be able to do this. i’m extremely passionate about techno and i feel as if a lot of the arguments against him tend to miss the nuance of his character. this project is on-going and i’ll be going over the butcher army/retirement storylines next. feel free to submit any points you’d like to see addressed!

Hey Sean. I know you blocked me and I dont know if you lurk my blog at all But I plead to you. Stop using mental illnesses and suicide suggesting things as clickbait for your videos. And I don’t say this for myself, I don’t say this because I’m a discourse blog, I don’t say this because I’m a hater. Even people who don’t usually post discourse or have anything to complain about you have agreed with me on this. I say this because 1: Using mental illnesses and suicide suggesting titles, also suggests that these conditions are not a big deal and that it is something you can just joke about and use for your own personal gain. (which is generating clicks and views on your videos by using clickbait) Doing this is pretty darn invalidating to everyone who suffers from a mental illness or disorder. (which is as you probably know, a huge chunk of your community) And thus it also is pretty ableist, ngl. With these titles someone could easily get triggered and it almost sounds like you are doing it on purpose. As someone who is continously preaching PMA, and talking about mental healthcare and how important it is. ESPECIALLY you should know how inappropriate it is to use these things as clickbait. 2: I worry. A lot of people do. Are these titles a callout or a cry for help? Are you projecting your own feelings towards your video titles and hope that someone will pick up on it and make your life better? If so, please stop making these titles, and go to a therapist to talk about how you feel. Take a break from YouTube. 3: With your recent ranting post, you said you want to focus on the positive instead of dwell on the negative and with this I really worry if you are going to listen to this post and others like it at all. Because this is criticism, which is often considered negative by you and your loyal fanbase. So with your whole idea of “I am not gonna listen to negativity anymore”.. Will you just do whatever you feel is okay for your channel?? You could have easily made a title for those videos that are not associated with mental illnesses or suicide related things. I don’t care how much clickbait you want to use for your channel. But please. PLEASE stop using these things for it. Use something more appropriate for the content and the context of what the video is about. I know the numbers don’t lie and that you get less views than you did before and I know it might probably upset you to admit to it or accept it as the way it is.. But you really are crossing a line here with what you can use to get your viewrate back up. I don’t care how much it sounds like clickbait but PLEASE be considerate and stop invalidating me and the rest of your community that is upset with all of this and THINK before you title a video..

How i make 1000$ + a day online. Ways of making money working at home

Make Money with Affiliate Marketing

Affiliate marketing is one of the most popular ways to make money online. Throughout the years its popularity has gone up and down but it continues to prove to be a stable way to make money online. The best part about affiliate marketing is that you can be an affiliate for nearly any company, from Shopify to Amazon to Uber to FabFitFun. Affiliate marketing allows you to earn a living by promoting other brands. If you’re a savvy marketer, you can earn a commission from sales by promoting retail products, software, apps, and more. While earning a commission may seem small, keep in mind that you can be an affiliate for several brands and include several affiliate links on a single blog post. If you really want to make money online doing affiliate marketing, your best bet is to focus on content marketing. By building out a blog with several pages of content you essentially create an asset you can call your own. The best part about focusing on content marketing is that if an affiliate program shuts down, you can switch the affiliate link to a competitor without negatively impacting your side hustle income. Start a YouTube Channel

The highest-paid YouTuber is 7-year-old Ryan, who reviews toys on his YouTube channel which made him $22 million in 2018. In the number 5 spot is Jeffree Star, who made $18 million on YouTube and has a cosmetics brand that sells about $100 million in products annually. His YouTube (and Myspace) fame helped him use his influence to make money online beyond his YouTube earnings. Your YouTube channel should focus on a single niche so you can build a strong, loyal audience. For example, you can create makeup tutorials, stream video games, review products, teach skills, create prank videos, or anything else you think there’d be an audience for. The secret to making money on YouTube is to create content people want that either educates or entertains. You can use a headline that’s clickbait to entice people to watch or you can use keywords that are optimized for YouTube search. Once you’ve reached the 1,000 subscriber milestone, you can officially monetize your channel with YouTube ads.

Become an Influencer

Building a personal brand can help you make money online. Did you know in 2018, Kylie Jenner made $1 million for every sponsored Instagram post, making her the highest-paid influencer? While it may seem like reality stars, singers, and athletes are the biggest influencers, keep in mind that even smaller-scale influencers can make more money today than they did a year ago. To become an influencer you need to build a massive following. The easiest platforms to do that: YouTube and Instagram. Some of the biggest non-celebrity influencers often gained their first taste of exposure on these platforms. You might want to check out how to get more Instagram followers if you want to build a big Instagram audience. To make money as an influencer, you can charge for sponsored posts, speaking gigs, create your own online store and sell products, add affiliate links in your bio, sell your photos, sell ads on your own podcast, get paid as a brand ambassador, create a book, get paid to appear at events, and more. Create an Online Course

Sharing knowledge is one of the best ways to make money online. If you’re an expert on a subject you can monetize your knowledge by creating courses online. You can sell your course on Udemy or, if you already have your own audience, on your own website. To create a popular and successful course, your best bet is to watch other courses on your topic. Then, look at the reviews. What are the aspects that people praise and what are the things people hate? How can you create something better than what’s already been created? Focus on creating content that solves the biggest complaints while emulating the positive aspects people rave about. The platform you sell your course on will determine how to best make money. If you sell your course on Udemy, you don’t have to do much to promote it. You can almost set it and forget it. Maybe promote it to some blogs or on your own website. However, if the course is hosted on your own website you might want to run ads to promote the course. You can also build an email list so you can continue to promote future courses to that same audience. Publish an Ebook

With Amazon KDP, it’s never been easier to publish an ebook. All you need to do is write the ebook, format it, create an ebook cover, publish, and promote it. Back in 2013, I created several ebooks on Amazon (took all but one down) and even though it didn’t make me rich, I still make some money from it. You can choose to hire a writer for your ebook, a graphic designer to design the cover, or a freelancer to format the ebook for you to help minimize the work you need to put into it. It’s best if you focus on keywords based on popular searches on Amazon. I often used Keyword Tool, which allows you to find the words people use while searching so you can craft your title around it. To make money online selling ebooks, you can market it a number of ways. You can give away your ebook for free for a few days. This helps you rank high in search results for a few days and get some reviews which helps you rank better for paid listings. Plus, I like to create custom graphics on Pinterest that match the “Pinterest style” rather than just placing the ebook cover as a pin. This has helped me get some clicks to my ebook from Pinterest. Start a Blog

Blogging is one of the oldest methods for making money online. People who love writing tend to start blogs with a niche focus. For example, a blog about procrastination, cars, dropshipping, toys, etc., is often a narrow enough focus so you can build a loyal following, but big enough that you can cover a lot of ground. You can start a blog on a number of platforms, from Shopify (remove the checkout feature so you don’t have to pay a subscription as you build it out) to WordPress. When you start your blog, focus on very specific keywords on a tight focus and continue to expand into other but relevant categories as you grow and dominate new spaces. This will allow you to build a massive blog over time. There are several ways to make money blogging. You can add affiliate links in your posts (don’t forget a disclaimer). You can monetize with AdSense by placing ads strategically on your website. Sponsored posts can help you make money from specific brands – this is popular among review bloggers. Bloggers can also sell digital or physical products on their website either (hint: you can add Oberlo products to your website). You can also use it to build authority so that you can eventually get speaking gigs, television deals, or big contracts from clients. Consider Freelancing

The easiest way to make money online is to take your current job at your 9 to 5 job and do it online instead. For example, if you’re a writer, administrative assistant, graphic designer, teacher, developer, etc., you can take those same skills and find clients online who are looking for it. There’s a never-ending list of websites for each sector of freelance jobs too. For example, freelance writers can apply for jobs on specific online writing job boards, but also general freelance websites like Fiverr, Freelancer, Upwork, and all the others. If you find that your job doesn’t have direct online money-making streams of income, you can look for other transferable skills you may have. To make money online as a freelancer, you need to start by building out a strong portfolio. That may mean doing some free work with some reputable mid-tier brands to start. Once you gain a strong portfolio, you can start reaching out to potential big clients to earn more money online. Remember, freelancing is a numbers game: the more personalized emails and applications you fill out, the more likely you are to get a response back.

Create an App

If you’re not a developer, you’re probably looking at this money-making idea and feeling a bit stuck. Fortunately, there is a way to have an app made that doesn’t involve any programming skills. These days, marketers are using freelance platforms to find affordable developers to create apps for them. When it comes to making money on your app, your best bet will be to add it to Google Play and the App Store. And while it may seem counterintuitive, having a free app can help you make more than a paid app. With a free app, you can add ads or premium features to help you make money. Since the free app will attract a higher volume of people, it’ll be easier for you to upsell them. Create Side Gigs

Side gigs can help you make money online while you keep your full-time job. If you’re unemployed, side gigs may not be enough to hold you over. If you’re only looking to make an extra couple hundred dollars per month, this is a great idea. The work doesn’t always last long-term but it can.

Use platforms like Fiverr to create gigs. When you’re new to Fiverr, you’ll want to focus on offering a low price so you could get your first review. I’d recommend getting a friend to buy your gig to leave your first review so you can get started faster. Treat the friend like a client and actually deliver a finished product that you can feature on the platform on your portfolio. The thing with Fiverr is that it’s also a numbers game. If you look at top Fiverr users, you’ll see that they have multiple gigs available. The more gigs you have the more likely you are to be found.

*wakes up and looks at phone* ah let’s see what fresh horrors await me on the fresh horrors device

–@MISSOKISTIC IN A TWEET ON NOVEMBER 10, 2016

A more recent project that acts in a similar spirit is Scott Polach’s Applause Encouraged, which happened at Cabrillo National Monument in San Diego in 2015. On a cliff overlooking the sea, forty-five minutes before the sunset, a greeter checked guests in to an area of foldout seats formally cordoned off with red rope. They were ushered to their seats and reminded not to take photos. They watched the sunset, and when it finished, they applauded. Refreshments were served afterward.

—

Bird-watching is the opposite of looking something up online.

They write: If you can have your time and work and live and be a person, then the question you’re faced with every day isn’t, Do I really have to go to work today? but, How do I contribute to this thing called life? What can I do today to benefit my family, my company, myself?

To me, “company” doesn’t belong in that sentence. Even if you love your job! Unless there’s something specifically about you or your job that requires it, there is nothing to be admired about being constantly connected, constantly potentially productive the second you open your eyes in the morning—and in my opinion, no one should accept this, not now, not ever.

Audre Lorde meant it in the 1980s, when she said that “[c]aring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self preservation, and that is an act of political warfare.”

As Gabrielle Moss, author of Glop: Nontoxic, Expensive Ideas That Will Make You Look Ridiculous and Feel Pretentious (a book parodying goop, Gwyneth Paltrow’s high-priced wellness empire), put it: self-care “is poised to be wrenched away from activists and turned into an excuse to buy an expensive bath oil.”

Thinking about sensitivity reminds me of a monthlong artist residency I once attended with two other artists in an extremely remote location in the Sierra Nevada. There wasn’t much to do at night, so one of the artists and I would sometimes sit on the roof and watch the sunset. She was Catholic and from the Midwest; I’m sort of the quintessential California atheist. I have really fond memories of the languid, meandering conversations we had up there about science and religion. And what strikes me is that neither of us ever convinced the other—that wasn’t the point—but we listened to each other, and we did each come away different, with a more nuanced understanding of the other person’s position.

The life force is concerned with cyclicality, care, and regeneration; the death force sounds to me a lot like “disrupt.” Obviously, some amount of both is necessary, but one is routinely valorized, not to mention masculinized, while the other goes unrecognized because it has no part in “progress.”

Certain people would like to use technology to live longer, or forever. Ironically, this desire perfectly illustrates the death drive at play in the “Manifesto of Maintenance Art” (“separation, individuality, Avant-Garde par excellence; to follow one’s own path—do your own thing; dynamic change”)30. To such people I humbly propose a far more parsimonious way to live forever: to exit the trajectory of productive time, so that a single moment might open almost to infinity. As John Muir once said, “Longest is the life that contains the largest amount of time-effacing enjoyment.”

Poswolsky writes of their initial discovery: “I think we also found the answer to the universe, which was, quite simply: just spend more time with your friends.”

... he said, with an epiphany he had while accompanying a fellow clergyman on a trip to Louisville:

In Louisville, at the corner of Fourth and Walnut, in the center of the shopping district, I was suddenly overwhelmed with the realization that I loved all these people, that they were mine and I theirs, that we could not be alien to one another even though we were total strangers. It was like waking from a dream of separateness, of spurious self-isolation in a special world, the world of renunciation and supposed holiness.

My most-liked Facebook post of all time was an anti-Trump screed. In my opinion, this kind of hyper-accelerated expression on social media is not exactly helpful (not to mention the huge amount of value it produces for Facebook). It’s not a form of communication driven by reflection and reason, but rather a reaction driven by fear and anger.

Obviously these feelings are warranted, but their expression on social media so often feels like firecrackers setting off other firecrackers in a very small room that soon gets filled with smoke.

Our aimless and desperate expressions on these platforms don’t do much for us, but they are hugely lucrative for advertisers and social media companies, since what drives the machine is not the content of information but the rate of engagement. Meanwhile, media companies continue churning out deliberately incendiary takes, and we’re so quickly outraged by their headlines that we can’t even consider the option of not reading and sharing them.

To stand apart is to take the view of the outsider without leaving, always oriented toward what it is you would have left. It means not fleeing your enemy, but knowing your enemy, which turns out not to be the world—contemptus mundi—but the channels through which you encounter it day to day. It also means giving yourself the critical break that media cycles and narratives will not, allowing yourself to believe in another world while living in this one.

Standing apart represents the moment in which the desperate desire to leave (forever!) matures into a commitment to live in permanent refusal, where one already is, and to meet others in the common space of that refusal. This kind of resistance still manifests as participating, but participating in the “wrong way”: a way that undermines the authority of the hegemonic game and creates possibilities outside of it.

A crowded sidewalk is a good example: everyone is expected to continue moving forward. Tom Green poked at this convention when he performed “the Dead Guy,” on his Canadian public access TV show in the 1990s. Slowing his walk to a halt, he carefully lowered himself to the ground and lay facedown and stick-straight for an uncomfortable period of time. After quite a crowd had amassed, he got up, looked around, and nonchalantly walked away.

So to a question like “Will you or will you not participate as asked?” Diogenes would have answered something else entirely: “I will participate, but not as asked,” or, “I will stay, but I will be your gadfly.” This answer (or non-answer) is something I think of as producing what I’ll call a “third space”—an almost magical exit to another frame of reference. For someone who cannot otherwise live with the terms of her society, the third space can provide an important if unexpected harbor.

Herman Melville’s short story, “Bartleby, the Scrivener.” Bartleby, the clerk famous for repeating the phrase, “I would prefer not to,” uses a linguistic strategy to invalidate the requests of his boss. Not only does he not comply; he refuses the terms of the question itself.

Facebook abstention, like telling someone you grew up in a house with no TV, can all too easily appear to be taste or class related.

We need to be able to think across different time scales when the mediascape would have us think in twenty-four-hour (or shorter) cycles, to pause for consideration when clickbait would have us click, to risk unpopularity by searching for context when our Facebook feed is an outpouring of unchecked outrage and scapegoating, to closely study the ways that media and advertising play upon our emotions, to understand the algorithmic versions of ourselves that such forces have learned to manipulate, and to know when we are being guilted, threatened, and gaslighted into reactions that come not from will and reflection but from fear and anxiety.

“In short, when the inattention stimulus falls outside the area to which attention is paid, it is much less likely to capture attention and be seen,” the researchers write. That’s intuitive enough, but it gets more complicated. If the briefly flashing stimulus was outside the area of visual attention, but was something distinct like a smiley face or the person’s name, the subject would notice it after all.

As an artist interested in using art to influence and widen attention, I couldn’t help extrapolating the implications from visual attention to attention at large.

In a post about ad blockers on the University of Oxford’s “Practical Ethics” blog, the technology ethicist James Williams (of Time Well Spent) lays out the stakes: We experience the externalities of the attention economy in little drips, so we tend to describe them with words of mild bemusement like “annoying” or “distracting.” But this is a grave misreading of their nature. In the short term, distractions can keep us from doing the things we want to do. In the longer term, however, they can accumulate and keep us from living the lives we want to live, or, even worse, undermine our capacities for reflection and self-regulation, making it harder, in the words of Harry Frankfurt, to “want what we want to want.” Thus there are deep ethical implications lurking here for freedom, wellbeing, and even the integrity of the self.

In an effort to make the user aware of persuasive design, Nudget used overlays to call out and describe several of the persuasive design elements in the Facebook interface as the user encountered them. But the thesis is also useful simply as a catalog of the many forms of persuasive design—the kinds that behavioral scientists have been studying in advertising since the mid-twentieth century.

Vivrekar lists the strategies identified by researchers Marwell and Schmitt in 1967: “reward, punishment, positive expertise, negative expertise, liking/ingratiation, gifting/pre-giving, debt, aversive stimulation, moral appeal, positive self-feeling, negative self-feeling, positive altercasting, negative altercasting, positive esteem of others, and negative esteem of others.”

Vivrekar herself has study participants identify instances of persuasive design on the LinkedIn site and compiles a staggering list of 171 persuasive design techniques.

“knowing your enemy” when it comes to the attention economy. For example, one could draw parallels between the Nudget system, which teaches users to see the ways in which they are being persuaded, and the Prejudice Lab, which shows participants how bias guides their behavior.

Or that the woman in front of you in line who just screamed at you is maybe not usually like this; maybe she’s going through a rough time. Whether this is actually true isn’t the point. Just considering the possibility makes room for the lived realities of other people, whose depths are the same as your own. This is a marked departure from the self-centered “default setting,”

Last week, after a meeting, I took the F streetcar from Civic Center to the Ferry Building in San Francisco. It’s a notoriously slow, crowded, and halting route, especially in the middle of the day. This pace, added to my window seat, gave me a chance to look at the many faces of the people on Market Street with the same alienation as the slow scroll of Hockney’s Yorkshire Landscapes. Once I accepted the fact that each face I looked at (and I tried to look at each of them) was associated with an entire life—of birth, of childhood, of dreams and disappointments, of a universe of anxieties, hopes, grudges, and regrets totally distinct from mine—this slow scene became almost impossibly absorbing. As Hockney said: “There’s a lot to look at.” Even though I’ve lived in a city most of my adult life, in that moment I was floored by the density of life experience folded into a single city street.

When the language of advertising and personal branding enjoins you to “be yourself,” what it really means is “be more yourself,” where “yourself” is a consistent and recognizable pattern of habits, desires, and drives that can be more easily advertised to and appropriated, like units of capital.

In fact, I don’t know what a personal brand is other than a reliable, unchanging pattern of snap judgments: “I like this” and “I don’t like this,” with little room for ambiguity or contradiction.

The fact that commenting on the weather is a cliché of small talk is actually a profound reminder of this, since the weather is one of the only things we each know any other person must pay attention to.

(“bland enough to offend no one”)

The professional social media star, a person reverse-engineered from a formula of what is most palatable to everyone all the time.

Everybody says that there is no censorship on the internet, or at least only in part. But that is not true. Online censorship is applied through the excess of banal content that distracts people from serious or collective issues.

Our interactions become data collected by a company, and engagement goals are driven by advertising.

Mastodon... They allow more granular control of one’s intended audience; when you post to Mastodon, you can have the content’s visibility restricted to a single person, your followers, or your instance—or it can be public.

... forming any idea requires a combination of privacy and sharing. But this restraint is difficult when it comes to commercial social media, whose persuasive design collapses context within our very thought processes themselves by assuming we should share our thoughts right now—indeed, that we have an obligation to form our thoughts in public!

A counterexample would be the sparse UX of Patchwork, a social networking platform that runs on Scuttlebutt. Scuttlebutt is a sort of global mesh network that can go without servers, ISPs, or even Internet connection (if you have a USB stick handy). It can do that because it relies on individual users’ computers as the servers, similar to local mesh networks, and because your “account” on a Scuttlebutt-powered social media platform is simply an encrypted block of data that you keep on your computer.

In #NeverAgain, David Hogg writes that “[a]nger will get you started but it won’t keep you going.”

Before long, the conference would be over, and I would have missed most of it. A lot of things would have happened there that are important and useful. For my part, I wouldn’t have much to show for my “time well spent”—no pithy lines to tweet, no new connections, no new followers. I might only tell one or two other people about my observations and the things I learned. Otherwise, I’d simply store them away, like seeds that might grow some other day if I’m lucky.

Seen from the point of view of forward-pressing, productive time, this behavior would appear delinquent. I’d look like a dropout. But from the point of view of the place, I’d look like someone who was finally paying it attention. And from the point of view of myself, the person actually experiencing my life, and to whom I will ultimately answer when I die—I would know that I spent that day on Earth.

“I would prefer not to.”

Styles of writing

What do we picture, when we picture intelligent people? Is it a person surrounded by books, someone who plays classical piano and admires fine art and who only communicates in big words and philosophical quotations? I feel that the way we regard intelligence, in this day and age, has shifted.

I have this favorite YouTube channel that breaks down various cult religions (as well as the major world religions, for all you edgy fedora-tippers out there), and they’re heavily critical of a particular professor. He uses big words. He backs up his claims. But this YouTube channel argues that his claims can be easily countered, on the camera he looks like a dork, and if you look closely the books he surrounds himself with are actually stacked in a way that makes it unlikely he actually reads any of them.

We live in a time and a world in which the way we regard art is evolving. Board games are still a common pass time, and games like Chess are still considered a worthy intellectual pursuit, but now we have video games. Classical music still has its place, but why restrict yourself to rediscovering classical piano pieces when you can download an app that helps you remix your own EDM? What I find most interesting in all of this is how different my reading has become, for better or worse.

I haven’t read classical in a long time. I miss it and am steadily getting back into it. For high school English credits, I had the opportunity to read all kinds of great literature. In my studies as an undergraduate, I had the opportunity to not just read great and classic fiction, but also great history. Great philosophical texts. In my journey, Palahniuk definitely hit like a bullet. It wasn’t quite like the style of Hemingway, but it was nearly as minimalistic. You can write simply and still convey an idea. In fact, sometimes omitting things and understating seemingly shocking things is the key to good writing. You write about war, or death, or getting punched in the face, and you do it the way you might describe going down the street and getting your groceries. There’s something to it. That simplicity.

How writing extends to other mediums is interesting. You’ll find it in politics, constantly. I’m a little disappointed, though I admit it’s understandable, that some people have pointed to my Facebook posts that summarize news events from different news sites (albeit sometimes editorials), and they say I’m demonstrating how biased journalists are. That’s not the intention, I would contest--that’s a symptom. I didn’t want to show that journalists are biased, but that the two-party nation is divided. I do think there’s some merit to arguing that journalists are sometimes misleading, but I think that’s more a problem with the readers. If we only click on things with clickbait titles, and we tend to read things that are heavily opinionated, then the field of journalism has to adapt. High-quality and unbiased journalism is hard to come by, but it definitely still exists in places.

Which I think is a good segue into the scientific. I think that you’ll find the most comprehensive and intellectually stimulating scientific information in actual peer-reviewed papers, and actual textbooks, but even then things get....interesting. While it’s certainly more responsible to base medical decisions on papers than exclusively on website and magazine articles about said papers, the papers themselves often cover research studies funded by people with agendas. And if you break down these papers and analyze the rhetorical styles, you’ll sometimes find that they’re still biased and misleading, they’re just in a different kind of forum.

It’s all over the place. Writing is everywhere. Writing is the news, this post, the most popular fiction book, your great aunt’s Facebook rant. Whether we choose to write in a way that tries to seem credible by virtue of having big words, making lots of arguments, and employing prose-style techniques such as cataloging in threes or just by being simple and accessible is up to us...and it will vary widely, depending on where we do our writing.

Last point, since I don’t really have a conclusion for this:

When I hear people talk during interviews or debates, I find that they usually do one of two things. They either use rhetorical/prose-style techniques to repeat the same points and appeal to emotion, and to charisma, or they simply lay out facts and/or back up arguments with actual points, and historical data, and research.

And almost every time, I think I find that the ones we cheer on are the ones who can appeal to our emotion by just saying a few key phrases and repeating themselves a lot.

7 Blogging Ideas For When You’re Stuck, Tired And Can’t Write A Thing

By Cynthia Dora

Every year, I greet January with new resolutions. Often, I never end up fulfilling them. But that doesn’t stop me from making new ones every year.

One of the resolutions I made at the start of 2017 – one I thought would be easy to keep – was to write a blog post every week on WordPress.

Easy, right?

But it’s May already and I am way behind schedule.

Not that there isn’t a heap to write about – there’s U.S. politics, the immigration debate, racial justice and healthcare rights. There’s easily enough to have me raring to go every morning. But like I said, I am failing miserably.

What’s the big deal about slacking off from time to time, you ask?

Well, I recently came across a WordPress statistic that says its users produce almost 80.7 million new posts every month. I will admit that made me feel pretty slack!

So a bit of introspection, research and discussion with like-minded bloggers inspired me to come up with this list of ways to motivate yourself to blog when you really don’t feel like it.

Without further ado, here are seven quick ways to generate blogging ideas when you’re seriously stuck, tired or unmotivated.

1. Choose to write on a topic that you know

If you think writing on a trending topic will help you gain followers and industry respect, think again. You won’t provide sound advice or commentary unless you know what you’re talking about, and you may get stuck at the research end of the process to boot.

Try to blog on what naturally interests and engages you – not what you think will get clicks and shares.

For instance, artificial intelligence and cloud software are concepts most marketers and technology buffs are keen to prove they’re super up to date on. But unless they’re industry leaders, they’ll probably have trouble finding anything new, informative or even original to say.

That’s not to say writing on pertinent and current issues isn’t important – but blog on topics that appeal to you as an individual.

If you are a tennis enthusiast then sharing your views on Steffi Graf and Serena Williams’ record would be an ace idea (pardon the pun!).

I am an ardent and passionate reader so both fiction and nonfiction writing appeals to me. This means writing a book review for my blog is much less intimidating than writing about artificial intelligence (and I know which one I’ll do a better job on!).

Unless you are passionate about a topic and know it in great detail, it is unlikely that you’ll have anything ‘extra’ to add to the noise on the internet. You’ll be wasting your time, other people’s time, and the creative energy that could be put to better use elsewhere!

2. Get inspiration from social media

In this article on Social Media Today, it was revealed that the average person has five social media accounts and spends almost 1 hour and 40 minutes a day browsing through their different feeds.

Turning to social media for ideas is like digging in a gold mine. People are constantly sharing, discussing and debating their views as well as enthusing about their interests and passions.

Join a few groups on Facebook that are based on your interests. You’ll not only meet like-minded people, you’ll generate ideas and views through discussion.

If you join a group aimed at writers or bloggers, you’ll also gain a channel for creative inspiration and be able to improve your online presence by actively participating in posts shared by fellow group members

It may surprise you what pops up to dislodge an idea in your brain. I’m a member of ‘Mad Over Marketing (M.O.M)’ on Facebook. They shared an image of a Nike ad a few months ago – and it actually inspired me. Take a look.

The quirky intelligence of this ad aside, it generated the gem of an idea for a blog post called ’11 Ads That Will Make You Smile’ that could easily lead into a second blog post titled ‘How Brands Inspire People To Get Fit Via Marketing’.

See? A single ad shared in a Facebook group generated two different ideas in my head for two different blogs. Impressive, but so easy!

3. Use web tools to brainstorm

Web tools exist to help people out – especially when we are stuck.

Let’s pretend you already have a pretty good idea of what you want to write. Say it’s a piece on email marketing or social media marketing. You can start by looking at sites like BuzzSumo, Alltop and SocialAnimal to see what’s trending and what’s being shared by users.

Once you have an idea of what people are clicking on, use a tool like HubSpot’s Blog Topic Generator to help you take your idea to the next level and generate some potential titles.

Personally, I don’t just use one particular site. I look up 3-4 sites until I come up with a topic or title that resonates with me.

Have a look at this topic Portent’s Content Idea Generator suggested for email marketing.

What a perfect topic! It’s catchy, it talks about something my audience wants to know about (email marketing), it contains my keyword, it cues familiarity because it mentions a celebrity and it gives me ample creative scope!

There’s absolutely no shame in using web tools to brainstorm and generate ideas for blog posts. In fact, they could provide you with just the prompt you need in dire, uninspired times.

4. Format blog posts as lists

The whole reason I’m writing this blog arose from my 2017 New Years’ Resolutions, so it’s fair to say I’m a big fan of lists.

But in this instance I’m not talking about aspirational lists, but listicles.

Listicles are articles or blog posts structured in the form of a list: for example, ‘7 Best Productivity Apps For Android Phones’.

Not only do people love reading listicles, their thematic structure makes the writing process a whole lot easier.

Next time you are stuck over what to write, contemplate whether your content could form a series of items presented as a list.

The internet is filled with listicles so just try not to make them too clickbait-y.

Also, be as specific and positive as possible. Instead of writing ’13 SEO Trends To Watch Out For In 2017′, try ’13 Things Your Business Should Be Doing For SEO In 2017′.

5. Follow people who influence your industry

Duh, right?

But following influencers, industry and thought leaders, as well as daily news sites is a great way to come up with new blog ideas and writing inspiration.

For instance, I follow Virgin Group on LinkedIn and they made the two posts below on their page.

It inspired me to explore the link between mindfulness and productivity. I knew I could either either use each idea separately or combine them into one, for example, ‘Why The Happy Employee Next To You Is 12% More Productive’ or ’11 Ways To Improve Mindfulness and Productivity At The Same Time’.

And seeing it on Virgin Group’s feed meant I knew there would be research and studies to back it up.

6. Ask questions on message boards

How else will you learn?

Take advantage of the pool of users on sites like Quora and Reddit to explore topics that interest you in depth, and no doubt pick up a few interesting and inspirational facts along the way.

Start by choosing a basic search term or keyword and looking through the conversation threads on it to see what you find.

Your natural interest in particular ideas will help you identify an appropriate topic to write on.

Then ask questions if you have them.

For instance, say you want to write about a trip to Hawaii. You can log into Quora and post a question to get an alternative point of view to your own.

Based on the response you get, you can come up with your new blog topics, such as:

Do’s + Don’ts While In Hawaii

What To Pack For Hawaii

5 Things You Will Learn In Hawaii

7. Look inside yourself

This is the part where you get to be you. You don’t have to look outside but think about your own personal insights and experiences, and how best to share them.

You can share personal insights and experiences in many forms: learning lessons, success stories, failure admissions and more.

Wrapping up

Blogging is not as easy as it is made to sound. It’s easy when you consider that it’s just words – but daunting when you think about what you want those words to mean and the ideas behind them.

My initial problem with writing is always starting.

Fortunately now, using the above steps, I usually find a way.

And I am certain that if you try them too, you will be able to wrestle yourself out of your rut.

Guest Author: Cynthia Dora. At the age of seven, I wanted to be a teacher. At 14, I wanted to be a contestant on America’s Next Top Model. Finally, at 25, I ended up being a writer! During the day, I am the Lead Content Marketer at Span Global Services, an organization specializing in building B2B email lists. The rest of the time, I am the mother of a five-year-old who shares my passion for teaching, writing and imagining.

If you need to discover what clicks together with your viewers (sorry!), this will be a beneficial resource for getting going.

Dependent on which KPIs predicament to your team, this submit will support you to discover how you can keep hold keep track of and improve for them (like a course from proficient organization folks who'll be presently gunning on your own distinct quite very same ambitions).

If you need to revisit your posts approach, on occasion essentially the most practical area to start is often to search again when far more and get stock of what labored (and what failed to).

Generously, Lee shares one of the most critical takeaways concurrently related to your in-depth step-by-step tutorial of recommendations on the top strategy to do specifically precisely the same using your non-public net internet site. The same as most Buffer posts, this knowledge will vanish you with hundreds of data-backed idea that may adhere with you up coming a time you sit again yet again to jot down (or publicize) an area up.

Given that you've got obtained a fantastic data-driven means of producing material, you might be specific to generate wonderful assets which the viewers will adore. But how will you get all of it about? In her publish on BuzzStream, articles or blog posts marketer Stephanie Beadell describes that promoting should to not be an afterthought; it demand to operate parallel to content producing, with almost all the advertising and marketing operate completed just before the publish working day. Beadell shares a timeline detailing when each and every a single inside the assorted parts must tumble into the area: viewers examine, messaging, screening, outreach, moderation and wrap up. And in advance of dropping the mic, she leaves viewers by making use of an in-depth “content marketing and advertising marketing and advertising marketing campaign plan” cheat sheet to deal with obtainable. So actionable. If you've got listened to that buyer placing up is certainly a crucial strategy, this set up has the stats to essentially make the purpose property. Alex Turnbull of Groove kicks through the post by sharing specified stats of how buyer publishing has impacted the company’s basis line. After he’s designed his circumstance, Turnbull might get for that nitty gritty of client positioning up: the best approach to deciding on a subject material that may resonate collectively with every one of the buyer viewers and just how to masterfully pitch your post considered.

BuzzFeed posts have an uncanny capacity to result in you to undoubtedly demand to just simply click on that “share” button. Also as though they poke entertaining at business people, I think we have been capable to all price their mastery of ridiculously sticky content articles compound (irrespective of how foolish it could be). On this submit by David Rowan of Wired, BuzzFeed CEO Jonah Peretti gives a glimpse into what should help make their fluffy compound so damn shareable. Noticeably considerably a lot more think-pieces/strategic than tactical, the submit breaks down the philosophy of the organization whose bread and butter is articles or blog posts. Similar to a reward, Rowan even shares BuzzFeed’s inside “Guide to Shareability.” Clever organization men and women pour their coronary heart into each and every little bit of articles or blog posts they create, striving to have as useful, considerate and enjoyable if you can. But even between possibly essentially the most exceptional areas of articles or blog posts can bellyflop when they are pushed out in toward the entire world. This put up by Garrett Moon of CoSchedule provides you exclusively what it states with regard on the tin: an in-depth specifics of more than fifty channels to help you've got excellent mileage absent from each minimal situation you generate. Moon does a remarkable perform of presently turning out to be concise although bearing on the advantages of each and every channel/platform. Irrespective of no matter whether via syndication, obscure social websites sites or perhaps a huge variety of other channels you would’ve certainly not deemed, this submits will allow you to present the planet what kickass articles or blog posts or website posts you might have made. In an overall entire world in which each and every male or female is scrambling to make actionable material components, posts can begin to feel like carbon copies of each and every truly and each other - regurgitations even though while in the equivalent cliches. As Elisa Gabbert eloquently areas it on this report for WordStream: 90% of that articles or blog posts advertising and marketing and promoting is redundant crap. As at the moment currently being a delighted distinctive, Gabbert implies very likely in opposition to the grain and publishing components that makes waves. Currently being a living proof her phase, she delivers some reasonably pleasurable illustrations of profitable contrarian articles. Presented that it truly is not vacant clickbait, Gabbert describes, contrarian inner thoughts produce intriguing and stimulating discussions that edge entirely definitely every person - even the naysayers. She goes on to explain why contrarian substance typically performs effectively, along with the way you happen to be in a situation to make sure that there exists a smidgen of (wise) controversy in each and every submits you produce. Similar to a journalist-turned-content strategist, Dan Levy’s acquired the particular reward of getting seen how material is made in each and every the editorial and advertorial worlds. And despite the fact that a lot of journalistic strategies have presently made their way into marketing and advertising departments (editorial calendars and class guides to mobile phone numerous), Levy points out that posts business people, even so, have tons to comprehend from journalists - and vice versa. On this thoughtful two-part setup, Levy clarifies what the two occupations can find out from the other. He touches regarding the perils of turning out to be concurrently data-driven, neglecting to quotation approaches, and refusing to brush up on some widespread HTML. If you might be a marketer who strives to repeatedly get well at articles crafting, this area up may be a must-read.
