▼The Artificial State 

The artificial state is a digital-communications infrastructure used by political strategists and private corporations to organize and automate political discourse. It is the reduction of politics to the digital manipulation of attention-mining algorithms, the trussing of government by corporate-owned digital architecture, the diminishment of citizenship to minutely message-tested online engagement.

▼Coalitional Instinct

A coalitional instinct is very similar to the kinds of bonds created out of the communities we're born into like our family, our ethnic groups, or our birth nation, but relates more specifically to the voluntary bonds created within
"coalitions,"
groups created with distinct, separate individuals.
These coalitions are "sets of individuals interpreted by their members... as sharing a common abstract identity, including propensities to act as a unit, to defend joint interests, and to have shared mental states and other properties of a single human agent"

▼ The Curse of the Counterfactual

 

The Curse of the Counterfactual is a side-effect of the way our brains process is-ought distinctions. It causes our brains to compare our past, present, and future to various counterfactual imaginings, and then blame and punish ourselves for the difference between reality, and whatever we just made up to replace it.
