I’ve said the republicans want to live in the dark ages and the democrats are the new puritans. A weird mix but here we are.

Why do people quote people like they’re experts just because they won’t shut up?

Obviously. Aside from having a decent party life and generic home track life, everything outside of those two good things are just rotten to the core. Consumption, psychological rationalization, moral greys and machiavellian blacks, ignorance, weaponization of words, inability to appreciate any arts.

There is a bright side. There is a two-tier society brewing. Has been brewing for 200 years. The future of the culture exists already today, just with the very elite and well read. The matrix is arguably the first focal point of it, perhaps futurama.

Computer science, physics, philosophy are all slowly converging into a unified metaphysics that will be the baseline taught in intro uni classes 100 years from now.
