work, eating and shitting
“I feel like we’re always so busy reading about bold new technological innovations that we forget that we are the socially elite members of society, and believe it or not, we are a minority. Real people can’t find entertainment in things like twitter because their lives’ are boring and they haven’t reached a respectable level of self-awareness. They just see life as a trivial routine of going to work, eating, and shitting. Why would they value social networks or memes if they are basically living a dumb life with no desire for a ‘creative outlet’ where ‘a tribe’ is able to keep up with u? Real people ‘know better’ and don’t try to cultivate value from feeling close to people on the internet, and they just try to find simple pleasures and stay happy+unhealthy.”
