Have a little fun before you die, it passes the time. You think I don’t know I’m old and out of touch?
People seem to think they’ve discovered this revelation that I hadn’t discovered decades ago. These are just electrons being displayed on a screen with 1’s and 0’s , treat them as such.
The real revelations come from introspection, not recognizing the faults in others. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk.
You can do both. Identify problems in others and in yourself. Especially great, finding problems (because it is easier due to cognitive biases) and then asking yourself if you carry the same flaws.
I treat the 1's and 0's as what they are in this context: Encoded information.
It is not about being out of touch though. Being out of touch doesn't make you post random political memes "without understand their meaning". It makes you fail at understanding their meaning... Maybe... Sometimes but not posting them.
Lastly thanks for wishing me fun, I have it, don't worry.
