I've noticed this, more and more I post my little tidbits of insight into my personal life on Facebook, that at least keeps mum upto date, but it does kinda mean sprog isn't in the loop, she has no facebook account, or indeed much of a social media presence at all.
I think thats pretty amazing really, given how utterly absurd most of social media is..Pretty much all I see now on there are idiots moaning about soap opera's a....oops sorry mum.
But really it is getting pretty bad, I'm seriously considering dumping it...aside from some acces to publicise my game projects.
Its like a dark hole you fall into and never look up, just noticing all the really dumb shit people think about things...
I always used to think the internet woukld make people more aware of the world and allow those who don't get out much to get insight into how the world works, but nope, it really isn't happening. The internet instead has allowed dumb fucks to gather together and proudly display and encourage others in their stupidity.
No amount of facts, experience, evidence, pleading, demonstrating etc, can persuade a stupid person they are wrong when they have at least one other stupid person agreeing with them.
Add to that the spread of hate and fear from frankly quite evil people and it just makes the world seem a very depressing place.
This is why we have such incredible rises in conspiracy theories and and a result... dumb as fuck asshole politicians ruling us..
Im getting to really despair about the world and where its going... and the main driving forces of that seem to be reality TV and Social Media...Catering to the lowest base needs ot people will never produce anything of merit, allowing education to be neglected over feelings, letting people speak falsehoods as truth without challenge... its out of hand.
So yeah... considering dropping out... getting back to the much more happy reality that I have in my life now with Jirawan and planning for a hopefully comfortable retirement in 7 years or so (wait....only 7 years... how did I get to be so old,...)
So...that was depressing... I'll try to be more cheerful next time
