Narrativist Wave Event: the general structure of Narrativists
seizing control of a society. A portion of society becomes vulnerable to
the Narrativist pattern--long term stress results in the brain looking
for ways to reduce cognitive load, making it much more susceptible to
adopting bypass thinking--in conjunction with being exposed to
communications structured using bypass logic. Thus the formation of
Narrativists within a population, who then start running compaction
cycles when they experience Narrative dysphoria. If there are enough
Narrativists feeling enough Narrative dysphoria, then Narrative
convergence will occur between all such Narrativist groups. If, as a
result, enough Narrativists become sufficiently compacted, Narrativists
will disrupt society or opportunistically exploit a disrupt that is
occurring for unrelated reasons, unite behind a strongman (often a
person with a cluster B personality disorder who has simply learned that
Narrativists are the easiest people in the world to manipulate), seize
control of social structures, and begin reconfiguring them to reflect
their collective Inner Narrative. During this process of reconfiguring
society, Artisans become the target of Compaction cycles and are removed
from society in some way, often violently.
Classic examples of a Narrativist Wave Event would be the Cultural
Revolution in China, the Khmer Rouge the rise of the Nazis, and the rise of Stalin. In
each of these cases we have a stressed population that was exposed
extensively to propaganda using bypass logic, who then united behind a
person with a cluster B personality disorder during a period of
substantial social disruption. These highly compacted Narrativists then
tried to restructure their society to accord with their Inner Narrative.
Finally (and most relevant to our discussion), during this
restructuring process, all the intellectuals who would not go along with
the Narrative were rounded up and executed.
Once Narrativists have seized enough control to begin to structure
society according to whatever the inner narrative demands, Artisans
(another self replicating behavior pattern, this one noted for its
constant variation seeking behavior)
stick out like sore thumbs. Their behavior seems suspicions, indicative
of a person who is insecure about themselves. Artisans are also unswayed
by arguments that utilize Bypass logic, and so Artisans will only pay
lip service to the inner narrative. Artisans then become easy targets
for compaction cycles. Compaction cycles in a high-compaction
environment have often evolved from removing someone from your weird
little group to removing someone from existence.
