- .@BYUfan @imbou not saying it is how it SHOULD be, but how it is is Both. Three phases: in reply to BYUfan 17:02:13
- .@BYUfan @imbou Ph 1, Critical subset starts believing something. Depending on power of subgroup could be 10% to 90% of pop. Laws passed. in reply to BYUfan 17:07:34

- .@imbou @BYUfan Waiting for anesthetics to kick in now. Woo! in reply to imbou 17:21:44
- .@BYUfan @imbou Phase 2, law is used to force behavior of those who disagree, mold views of next generations. This process takes decades. in reply to BYUfan 17:23:10
- .@BYUfan @imbou Doc back. More later. in reply to BYUfan 17:24:44

- .@BYUfan @imbou Done for today I should say. They did the right side. Left side scheduled for Thursday. in reply to BYUfan 17:58:57
- .@BYUfan @imbou Phase 3. Those who disagree change their minds, die off, become small minority. Law: How could it possibly be any other way? in reply to BYUfan 18:00:36
- .@BYUfan @imbou Society (but not necessarily majority) initiates the law changes, but then there is a feedback loop that transforms society. in reply to BYUfan 18:02:03

- RT @BYUfan: @abulsme @imbou I agree with phases, but 1 and 2 are so close, laws are unnecessary in all but extreme cases. 18:19:05
- .@BYUfan @imbou Think “necessary” depends on perceived urgency. With law, some effects immediate. May accelerate attitude changes too. in reply to BYUfan 18:23:13
- .@BYUfan @imbou Now, personally, I think it is almost always better for change to happen slowly and naturally through persuasion. in reply to BYUfan 18:24:01
- .@BYUfan @imbou But many times slow and gradual can be way too slow, especially for people getting screwed by the status quo. in reply to BYUfan 18:25:56

- They took longer to get their stuff out there though. Only now am I really starting to see larger volumes from the “hey, stay calm” side. 20:41:16
