THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS

The more time you spend on social
media the more you come to see it
as a cascading series of paradoxes.
For every single point that someone
makes there is a counterpoint.
After a while you start thinking that
reality, in the obective sense, no
longer exists.

People are shaping their own their
own version of it by the things they
choose to believe. And those things
are, more often than not, the things
that reinforce their own worldview.
So in that sense, there is no right
or wrong anymore. Because every-
body believes that what they believe
is right to them.

As a result, too many of us have
become immune to points of view
that do not line up with our self-
proclaimed opinions.

This explains a lot of what is very
wrong in the world these days,
because reality is not subjective. It is
what really is. But too many people
have chosen to deny this simple fact.

And they are now trapped, on the
other side of the looking glass.

An Observation

See this tweet? Just when you start to think that things can’t get any more dopy/crazy/stupid/egocentric with a guy like the Muskmelon, along comes a poll where he asks people if he should resign as CEO of a company he just spent 44 billion bucks to acquire. Evidently, the majori ...
