  • Have you ever noticed that 99% of the time the point of a post is to evoke an emotional response?

    The same could be said of most songs, poetry, fiction.

    Someday we will invent a way to convey emotions without that intermediate step. That will be impressive.

  • There's a lot to disapprove of about the whole of popular thought, modern norms, science even. Shitposting can be an expression of that disapproval. And no, you can't just frame it as a rational argument. That would be like explaining 3D to a flatlander. All you can do is shit and howl.

    Not saying all shitposts are an example of this, but give them the benefit of the doubt.

    (Imagine homeless Neo, roaming the sidewalks of a city, yelling at pedestrians, "You're all trapped in The Matrix!")

  • For better and worse, we get 99% of our reality from each other and trust is assumed. That's just how society works and it ain't gonna change.

    Yes, it's far from sane. Yes, social media has turned it up to 11.

    Don't like it? Want "truth"? I dunno.
