I think you put it best when you said they were buried under so many layers of irony that they didn't even know who they were anymore.
You are who you pretend to be, it's pretty simple. The results can be kinda awful to face tho.
I didn't invent the idea, but I certainly am glad to use this pic. It tends to piss them off because their irony wasn't automatically congratulated for its detached cleverness, which is what got HexbearGPT banned.
Hey you're the guy everyone would occasionally talk about missing who knows literary stuff and makes people learn it right?
I would be deeply obliged if you convinced even one person to read Mother Night by Kurt Vonnegaut. For reasons directly related to this post.
There's a very good local public library and I sometimes strike up conversations there. I may do just that.
