Yeah, I rejected all these lies being a Russian, I thought it was for stupid people, but for a couple of years I started to notice that sometimes roles reversed. Just like the meme "In Soviet Russia..." We are not doing constructive things, while explaining failures by lies, no. We are constructing lies, without any thought of real constructive things. It was funny. But then Putin invaded Ukraine and there are no more fun. They are really believed their own lies. In hindsight it was predictable: the reversal of roles is a sign of systemic failure, of priorities of system shifting from reality to lies. And I had thought that it would end in a lot of fun, some spectacular failure of the whole system. But I didn't thought that others can be hurt, not on this scale at least. I thought about Russians only and we deserve some spectacular failure, to stop thinking imperial thoughts, to stop believing bullshit. I'm so sorry it turned so bad for Ukrainians. THOU SHALL NOT KILL. CLAY OF MY CLAY. SHAME. SORROW. I dig into rational reasoning and I like long lists of fallacies, but I never have read anything like what Putin is doing. In some sense it reminds me of "Cobra Effect" and "Goodhart's law": when you measure success based on a hindsight plausibility of lies telling about success or failure, then there will be no more successes, just lies about them. They were thinking only about what is can be stowed by propaganda. And anything that could be is fine. But "Goodhart's law" doesn't catch the scale of a stupidity, it doesn't catch the idea of creating an informational bubble, the very alternative reality, and then willingly going to live there. I think we need to invent new fallacy and call it "Putin's fallacy". Or maybe "Putin's idiocy" would be better.
