[FRIAM] Globalism in the age of populism? .. & Open Source Software

[Marcus Daniels]

" But I think that type, that can't be "persuaded" [*] based on low-dimensional similarity and familiarity, has very few members.  The real problem is establishing the similarity and familiarity."

Most any introvert has had the experience of some patronizing know-nothing `help' them out of their shell.   Is there anything more pointless than having to politely play along while run their `find some common ground' routine?   They may seem persuaded but really they just want the room to be empty again.   If a personality is high dimensional, then a low-dimensional connection is cannot be a true measure of similarity (assuming that was even sought).
