[FRIAM] Modeling 4chan: roles, topics, beliefs, strawman, anonymity, etc.

[Marcus Daniels]

Is there an important difference between Stanislavski method acting and convincing insincerity?    Similar skill set to vice cops and spies.

    And my ignorance forced me to find out which "Stanislavski" they were referring to at 8:37, where they define the "Stanislavski Opinion" - "the opinion you entertain so completely that you functionally believe it, while you express it, no matter the possibility that you will express - and, to an extent, believe - an opposite opinion later."

    Once again, FriAM has helped me reduce the cone of uncertainty in my own opinion about, say, why I think Tom Cruise is such a bad actor compared to someone like, say, Chloë Sevigny.  I just don't intuit that Cruise plays the role, so much as "talks" on topic.  I once (like, 20 years ago) got into a rather heated argument with a mentor about the difference between a simulation and an emulation.  He was *trying*, I think, to make this same point to that younger version of myself.
