[dull boy]

This thread, as small of a percentage of the population that it represents; is fucking horrifying. Horrifying in the sense that horrifying isn’t the proper word, but seems exaggerated enough to somewhat resemble how HORRFYING some of your beliefs are.

The internet has created an avalanche of available knowledge, but it’s changed sharply since the turn of the century. Conspiracy has evolved from a slice of curiosity and healthy distrust, into a legitimate business that’s being shaped by what’s the most entertaining. This isn’t necessarily a new concept, but the internet has given a platform and sounding board for any and every possible hypothesis. I was talking to my son yesterday about the watering down of music due to the ease of recording. It’s the same with media and entertainment. Those of us old enough and fortunate enough to be internet connected in the mid 90s might remember the vibe of an endless collection of encyclopedias. There was a scholarly atmosphere. That’s slowly degraded into a tabloid culture. The internet was once upon a time ‘for geeks and pedophiles.’ This rapid evolution has given us generations who can believe the earth is flat.

What’s my point? You’re probably an idiot.

This is pontification at it’s worst. Mostly poorly educated individuals having religious and philosophical debates based on articles and theories. What’s concrete here? Your simple life doesn’t need to be spent sensationalizing the theory of how ancient structures were built. This thread started with knowing thine enemy. As if this were a war. If there’s a war it’s being fought in vain. Nothing matters here. The pyramids don’t matter. Our religions don’t matter. Shut the fuck up about all this shit you can’t possibly know. We’re smaller than what seems fathomable. Meaningless in the scheme of things.
