Hashtags are key. You can follow hashtags as well as people to find content fitted to your liking. Then you'll find people using the hashtags that you can follow from there.

 

Tired of fascist social media?

There is a significant overlap between the smartest bears in the park, and the dumbest tourists.

I gotta meme this quote 🎯

Correct. However the most popular explanation is that technological evolution outstrips cultural evolution resulting in civilizations destroying themselves before they can attain interstellar travel

People love their greath merchants apparently.

Coined it. But, when the lightbulb pops on I have to say i learn something every time.

There are multiple entendres happening in this “ridiculously petty” or “mind numbingly dumb” little meme.

Does it really? Or, do you only look at pictures when you “read.” See my recent response to PugJesus below. You commit the same logical fallacy. Sure, it’s (perhaps) a direct rebuttal to the pictures. But, the meme is more than that if you actually read the words. And, the words are the “argument.”

So, to answer your question: Yes. I understand logical fallacies well. PugJesus “sets up and attacks a position that is not being debated.”

The meme has to do with “ancient tech” vs. “progress.” The pictures could be “old internet” vs enshittified internet. Or, a calculator vs chatGPT. Or, old electric cars vs tech platforms with wheels.

The point being what we often call “progress” is in fact the opposite. You know, the “words” I “actually used” in the meme … vs. the straw man you created.

Theories abound as to why toddlers are more interested in things that “defy expectation.” The bouncier, the more attraction. The shinier, the more the attraction … etc. Marketers know this well and exploit it. We’re not logical — we knee jerk react instead actually thinking about the thing in front of us.

Like assuming, without really thinking about it, that this meme is about glass vs. plastic.

No. It’s about the title. Again, the words I “said.” Which were “The Human Condition.”

Thank you for providing a stunning exemplar of my point.
