The social and algorithmic pressure to simply mimic the people around me here, rather than engaging my own mind, is quite high. Ironically, it's much higher here, than on Twitter, because this place is so controlled by one narrow ingroup, that they can easily suppress dissent or discussion with shunning. It's like a church.

See this is what I mean. You actually make me think whereas most are just talking Bitcoin and that's not really why I'm here.
The Church of Bitcoin
