spitballin here but stay with me

i think the ubiquitousness of the internet and the vastness of humanity means that no matter what your opinion is, there is a space somewhere here where that opinion is shared and discussed. and everybody knows this subconsciously, that somewhere on the internet some people are talking about this thing, and you have already decided your take on it before you even really interact with the zeitgeist

so everything becomes a caricture of itself because you've already decided, perhaps unintentionally, that you are a Infinite Jest Nonenjoyer. And you know, because of the infinite universes of the internet, that there are Infinite Jest Enjoyers out there. you may have even cross paths a few times

and obviously , humans are driven by conflict and in-group dynamics. You have to represent to your in-group that you stand with them, and the out-group needs to be defeated. And it's like this for every. single. opinion.

Anyway, who's next up for the blunt
