Really, all I want is to download the Douyin videos that I have bookmarked, primarily from yana826. If yt-dlp worked with Douyin, I might be able to do it in less than an hour. But it doesn't, at least not for me, so downloading them is slow and often involves a process of seeing other videos and investigating them, which is like a virus spreading where if the infectivity constant r is 1.001, it's drastically different than if it's 0.999.

It also means convincing Douyin that I'm not a bot, which meant watching random videos, including this one about the building fires in Tai Po, Hong Kong: https://v.douyin.com/0Elygm9xZFc/

You said something today, which means that it will be two days until I check Giggly aka Madison's account.

I would like to not say anything about this, and therefore gather more data on whether you have access to knowledge which you should not.

If you have such knowledge, and if Giggly aka Madison has such knowledge, then one cannot avoid asking whether other people have such knowledge.

I tried to email Pokimane around the start of last year. I didn't describe or link to this idea.

But, what if she has knowledge that she should not?

I don't think that anyone should care about the question of what kind of behavior I might consider attractive. Even though I am not in a relationship, it seems likely that if any specific person is interested in me, then whatever makes them interested in me also makes at least one other person who knows about me interested in me, which might matter if people used this idea and I was no longer poor.

But I think that in general, people like intelligence. That many types of behavior are of interest because they indicate intelligence (and that certain behaviors indicate intelligence when used in one situation, while also indicating a lack of intelligence in another situation, so it can be hard to advise someone on which behaviors they should demonstrate).

So, I am commenting about Pokimane because I watched a video from ~7 years ago in which Pokimane shows her gameplay, and also because I learned that she bought an engagement ring for herself. (And because of the fire in Hong Kong, and the fact that in checking BBC for whether this fire was an international news topic, I saw an article from today about Nigeria that linked to a 2024 article about the Chibok girls, according to which the government is paying at least $180 in education per month for each of them, but only giving them $15 for their own use.)

I think the best scenario is that Pokimane does not have knowledge that she should not have; no one who reads this post takes it seriously; and nothing happens.

I deleted or made private (probably deleted) the posts that mentioned Demi Rose Mawby. I think it's fair to say that when she acted in a way that suggested she has knowledge she shouldn't, I was a little annoyed. Before I started writing this, I was thinking of making a Reddit post, about another hypothetical scenario: something like, there is a button that will help other people, even save lifes, and your romantic interest knows this and is not pushing the button, even when you tell them to. Do you reach past them and push the button, implying that they did not do something they should have done?

For me, there is no button. But I don't think I would hesitate to push it if there was one; and based on my limited knowledge, I cannot rule out the possibility that this post will accomplish something, so it's like pushing a button that probably doesn't work.

One might say that it was hard to truly get upset at Sherine or anyone who might have been able to influence what Sherine did, like Yara or Autumn. Although I said I would move on to other actions if Sherine had clarified whether she had shared this idea, these actions are what I ended up doing anyway, years later; like using arguments that did not mention someone who committed a serious crime, and trying to get you and other influential people to share this idea.

Sherine's ability to influence other people to share this idea was always in doubt. In that sense, if Demi Rose Mawby has knowledge she shouldn't, then, it was a test: how would I act if someone who had the ability to cause change, did not?

And so I acted annoyed, and I said I was happy that her father had died, but if she is aware of my existence at all, I did not try to make her think that I was truly angry at her (distinct from annoyed).

I don't know how Demi Rose Mawby would score on a standardized test, like college entrance exams. Just that she didn't much like school, and I guess the scene from the original Addams family movie with Wednesday at the dock; I don't really remember its relevance. I say all of this out of the concern that someone would interpret my actions as that I think Pokimane is smarter than Demi Rose, based on what I saw of Pokimane's gameplay.

So: if Pokimane has knowledge that she shouldn't, I think that she should share this idea. I don't think she has such knowledge, and I think that if she does, and even if she became aware that I wrote this which would not necessarily follow, that she would not share this idea.

If Pokimane had participated in the second season of OnlyFangs in WoW Classic Hardcore, I would have watched her gameplay and perhaps reached a conclusion about whether she read the emails I tried to send to her. But she did not, and so I know almost nothing that she has done since she moved from Twitch to YouTube at the start of last year, until the recent drama resulting from her Chirp Club post on the topic of drama. (I know that she went to Japan with other female streamers.)

It's obvious that dumb people sometimes act in a smarter way than smart people. One can, for example, reach this conclusion whenever smart people are systematically targeted, as they might have been during the Cultural Revolution in China. So in general, while a stupid person with no influence won't accomplish anything by sharing this idea, a person who might not think they are the smartest, but who has influence, could cause change, and by not doing so they would be acting in a stupid way, even if they are doing the same thing as other people who scored highly on tests or on other metrics (such as Nobel prize winners, like the female Nobel prize winner in economics, now deceased, whom I tried to contact in 2011).

I would like to reiterate that there would seem to be no reason for anyone to care about what behaviors I might find attractive. I view the question of whether I could get someone to share this idea through romantic means to be answered: first by implying to Sherine that I would be in a relationship with her if she shared it (if I didn't die), and then explicitly when I offered to marry Catherine Rampell if she shared it, not knowing she was already married. (One of the very few cases where I know that someone actually read my emails, although she did not directly reply.)
