there is nothing more depressing
than empathizing with people
who have been manipulated
by political mass media.

so much energy and technology
is used in manipulating people
into obedient mindless drones
instead of unleashing their genius.

it is beyond me
why is the human race
that has unlimited resources and capacity
making itself so stupid and impotent.

i am actually
completely able
to consistently make
my friends laugh
which makes me
a funny person.

therefore,
you should trust me
even though, usually,
i am the opposite of funny.

metamodernism
is best explained
as an opposite to zero-sum
