This is just the tip of an iceberg. Virtue signalling is at the core of everything nowadays.
Meaningless verbiage in speaking and writing, full of current memes, current useless abstract concepts and other bullshit.
Piles upon piles of useless, redundant abstractions, tons of bullshit code as in J2EE or current node_modeles mass idiocy.
And the real virtue is in making minimal, just right, as close to "what is" as possible, and almost no one of current imposters could do or even understand this.
They think Haskell is about monads lmao.
- astrange 5y ago> Virtue signalling is at the core of everything nowadays. An interesting thing about this phrase is that virtue signaling is obviously good (it's an important leadership technique) but is only ever used as a negative term. Also implies "vice signaling" should exist as a positive term, but I've never seen that used.
- fatbird 5y agoIronically, using the phrase "virtue signaling" has itself become a form of virtue signaling to the crowd reading Reason and others around here who see it as a negative. This is like the phrase "politically correct", which started as a neutral term for labeling language that was (or wasn't) up to date with our aspirational norms. I don't think I've ever heard anyone use the phrase except with contempt.
- Apocryphon 5y agoStewart Lee or someone inspired by him oughta do a bit on virtual signaling similar to his routine on PC: https://youtu.be/x_JCBmY9NGM https://youtu.be/x_JCBmY9NGM
