Definitely for preference cascades. For common knowledge I’d say it’s about undermining of common knowledge formation (eg meme to not share salary, strong pressure not to name that emperor is naked, etc.)
Sorry about hijacking an only tangentially related thread but I’d love to get your thoughts on ways to accelerate common knowledge formation. This could be technologies or social technologies or something else.
I have a bunch of thoughts around this. Where would be the best place to talk?
Good timing.

Would you include preference cascades and the formation of common knowledge in the same cluster?
