I've been thinking about this for the past couple weeks already but this post reminded me of this line of thought I had.
@Abhorrence @looksmaxxed



forum - a place, meeting, or medium where ideas and views on a particular issue can be exchanged

Einstein formulated and published the General Theory of Relativity. He proposes that gravity arises from the curvature of spacetime caused by mass and energy with an equation he couldn't figure out. In the German army in WW1, Schwarzschild's job was to calculate artillery postulation. During this, Schwarzschild heard the echo of Einstein's General Theory of Relativity and Schwarzschild calculates the first exact solution to Einstein's field equations. Einstein thought that this would require a huge amount of work to calculate, but this wasn't the only thing to the findings, this equation had lead to the theory of the existence of black holes.

If this forum of the science paper of Annalen der Physik where Einsteins Theory was published didn't exist, then hundreds to tens of thousands of jobs would've not existed now if that forum had not existed. This is why having a network and forum of important people or specialist is so important.

Forums have led to all developments.

Each person in a forum is a router, each person has sources of info that they receive and if the info is important to them, since the brain stores info hierarchically based on importance so its readily accessible. Each brain is a network of conditions to decide whether to enact an action, it is not the conditions that matters the most, it is the information that is in the brain while the conditions judge info validity. People will forward the info they receive on a spectrum of density depending on cultural factors if relevant.

Now we have established a forum has a structure set to where there are routers that route other routers to other info they feel is important. All routers have places where they receive information to later be exercised or propagated for others to exercise. An inefficient forum collects people that all receive info from the same primaries, causing an echo chamber, this will also make the forum boring, causing the creators to lose money. A forum's creator, (@Master) is usually incentivised to have the forum to be entertaining and/or useful.

So there comes a paradox, a forum must bring in people that have diverse and different primary sources, but also provide a similar purpose and goal for each person in a forum.

This also shows another paradox in individual desire. You want a goal, but you don't have the vehicle of knowledge of where to find the primary sources for you to become a different router. Meanwhile, the people that have the means to give you the vehicle are incentivised to withhold it, because of the concept of information asymmetry. As you change your primary sources, you will become a new person, because you forward and exercise different info.

Yeah also in most forums few people make to groundbreaking work and the others parrot them as we can clearly observe on here
We need to attract original authentic users from various background like you said instead of TikTok zoomie zogbots but good luck with that
Most people here are completely deprived of dopamine and aren't willing to do their own research on stuff so they go on months without any progress

Also, if you do work something out, this forum basically incentivises gatekeeping it, since it'll be on tiktok the next day.
