Over the past year, the graphic illustration of most peoples' blind idiocy and superstition has been a bit much to take it all at once. The best thing is that I no longer care what anybody thinks about pretty much anything. The worst thing is the inherent unchecked nature of such eccentricism.
It's why I've turned off most of the WWW now. Even an "enlightened" place like HN is mostly a bag of predictable tropes. The WWW (not the internet in general) has proven to be a trap, it's almost real enough to seem authentic. To a careful reader, there's little difference in value between the typical "top comment" and the weird rant of an off-kilter Waffle House patron. And there's no point in analyzing an endless stream of ephemeral rants from randos. That's the WWW now!
I can't wait to log back in next week and see this guy at -1.
