  • with a ton of that crowd, they really have no idea what strength is. but they so badly want to appear strong, as they assume that will make others around them think they actually are strong.

    it’s a sort of projection. they’re weak, so they worry that others will perceive them as weak. it locks them into a constant obsession with appearing strong, so people won’t realize how weak they are.

    the fallacy in all that is assuming that other people care, most don’t, as most are locked into their own various insecurities and are usually worried about how they appear to the world.

    real strength, and other qualities, isn’t worried about what others think. it’s like being cool. you’re not cool if you have to go around and tell others how cool you are. if you’re cool, others will recognize that pretty quickly. if you’re not cool, no amount of faking it will ever make others think you are.














  • i don’t think we should act like journalism was in a great place before.

    FB capitalized on a weakened industry, but it was the industry itself that was responsible for that state.

    they really fucked themselves by not transitioning to the new market, instead insisting that it was the customers that were wrong. all these years later, i’ve yet to see a news outlet that would be worth the subscription fee. they’re mostly recycling content from other, free sites anyway.

    once the older crowd passes, traditional news outlets are done for. the ones that remain will be the ones that were providing the content all along.
