In this issue: Exaggerated Insecurity The Future is Private, and Dark Reimagining Criminal Justice (Writing took a second seat to exploring the 4th dimension) Exaggerated Insecurity Insecure people exaggerate the insecurity of their friendships BECAUSE they make an assumption about the baseline insecurity of their friend. This is another example of the "We all tend to project OUR qualities on the people around us, leading us have very distorted perceptions of social dynamics/vibes/etc (especially when we make assumptions about WHY others are upset, etc)" effect. These distortions are especially exaggerated in diverse groups. I.e. When we are with our families (literally raised to be upset in the same way, communicate in the same way, etc), we are remarkably better at reading the WHY of social situations quickly.
