Gravity Boost Guide Draft 1

# Beginner’s Guide to Gravity Boost Theory

## I. Find and approach a high-energy online community of your choice.

In the digital age, we are blessed with countless online communities, each humming with energy and purpose. Selecting the right one to join is crucial. To start with, identify your interests. It might be technology, literature, politics, fashion, gaming or anything else that captures your imagination. Once you've identified your interest, find an active online community that aligns with it. These communities can be found on platforms like Reddit, Discord, Facebook groups, online forums, and many more.

## II. Identify the traits they embody that you lack in yourself.

After you have entered the community, start by observing. Pay attention to the members and their interactions. How do they talk? How do they respond? What kind of content do they share and appreciate? As you immerse yourself in this digital environment, you'll start to notice traits, skills or knowledge areas that the group embodies which you lack. It could be technical skills, a certain kind of humor, insightfulness, or a unique perspective on topics.

## III. Generate a digital identity that embodies that which you lack, mimicking their digital physiognomy.

Once you've identified the traits you lack, the next step is to build your digital identity around those traits. This might involve changing your profile picture, writing a new bio, or even adopting a new nickname that reflects the traits you're trying to embody. Mimic the digital physiognomy of the community — the way they present themselves online. Remember, this is not about losing your own identity, but enhancing it by embracing traits that you admire and lack.

## IV. Adopt phraseology, mimic takes, and steal posting styles at first superficially, but finally genuinely.

Learning the language of the community is key to integration. Start by adopting their phraseology, using their common expressions, memes, or jargon. Observe their views (or 'takes') on topics, and try to understand why they hold such views. This doesn't mean you should mindlessly echo their opinions, but rather seek to grasp the rationale behind their thoughts. Also, emulate their posting styles. Initially, this may feel superficial, but over time, you'll find that these adopted behaviors become more natural and genuine.

## V. Inject yourself into their network, strategically extracting attention and engagement from users that will raise your status within the groups hierarchy.

After you've blended in, it's time to make your presence known. Share interesting posts, comment insightful thoughts, ask thoughtful questions, and provide helpful responses. The idea is to engage strategically, focusing on conversations where your contribution can add real value. This will not only get you noticed, but it will also raise your status within the group hierarchy.

## VI. Perform aggressive social climbing, making yourself a beloved member of the community as you generate the ‘Original Content’, or, curate ‘Stolen Content’ from smaller accounts.

As you become more entrenched in the community, aim to become a prominent member. Be active, be helpful, and be consistent. Start generating Original Content - this could be unique insights, graphics, articles, videos, or any form of content that the community finds valuable. If creating isn't your forte, curate 'Stolen Content'. Find high-quality, underappreciated content from lesser-known sources and share it within your community, of course, always giving due credit.

## VII. Begin transforming and directing discourse as you become the upstream of ‘Original Content’ for the members of the community, forming a new subculture within the community.

When you've established yourself as a reliable source of interesting content, you can begin to subtly shift and direct the discourse within the community. People will listen to what you

 have to say and your opinions will carry weight. Use this influence to form a new subculture within the community, fostering discussions and activities around the themes you're passionate about.

## VIII. Determine if you’re satisfied with the traits you’ve embodied, the subculture you’ve formed, and the impact you’ve had on discourse.

As you reach this stage of involvement and influence, pause to evaluate. Are you satisfied with the traits you've embodied? Do you feel fulfilled by the subculture you've helped to form? Do you appreciate the impact you've had on the community's discourse? Reflecting on these questions will help you determine whether you're on the right track.

## IX. Once satisfied with your experience, reject the community but synthesize. From your frame of reference, members of your subculture are now orbiting a static noosphere.

When you have achieved your goals and feel satisfied with your experience in the community, it might be time to withdraw. But don't completely sever ties; synthesize instead. Keep an eye on the community, and observe as the subculture you've created continues to evolve. From your perspective, the community members are now orbiting a static noosphere, one that you helped to shape.

## X. Use the gravity well of this static star to launch off into a new high-energy online community with a refreshed sense of skepticism.

Finally, leverage your experience to venture into new online communities. You have a renewed sense of skepticism and a wealth of knowledge to navigate these new environments. Remember the gravity well of the static star — the community you've left behind. It serves as a reminder of your growth, influence, and potential as you embark on this new journey in the digital realm.
