Im less concerned about hn change and more about society and the public I have to coexist with. People use cynicism as a tool to avoid thinking or engage with reality.
It is just reactionary snark, and everyone nodds along. It isnt a position or analysis. Nobody even cares if it is accurate because the vibe is what matters. Nothing constructive comes of it and everyone is digging their own intellectual graves.
- bayindirh 19d agoFor me, it's not a reactionary snark. I'm just fed-up with people lying, and my default mode has switched from trust to distrust for these people. Am I guilty of not trusting people who have a habit of lying, or is this their own problem? Or as another example, do the villagers did wrong to the boy who cried wolf?
