nobody hardly ever reads post #1-#10, so anything goes here. this isn't filler, it's emotional content + also maybe something intellectually titillating (uhhhh, huhhhuhuhuhuhuh I said tit). today's topic is, boys + girls: communication. something we simultaneously are the haves + have nots.

during the heady infancy heydaze of the information superhighway, we didn't overthink shit. we used it, we learned to use it (from others, or through study). we used it if there was some ROI, and that was usually validated through human responses we got in return. go on irc and have a lengthy conversation in a group chat about whatever. you meet some quality people and then some you wish you never had knowledge of. like in the movie Spotless Mind where Jim Carrey effectively does brain damage to himself to erase his ex, back alley labotomy in a sense. yet what we have now isn't legit communication. its synthetic, fake af communication. you and I can be talking, whether shallow or deep doesn't matter. if we're hearing + speaking, flowing then thats what it's all about. we don't necessarily need to agree to shit. we can still have a good time, learning. despite differentiators of class, style, attitudes, pedigree, politics, etc. the allure I must state for the record wasn't so much finding people who thought, talked, behaved, and spoke as I did. it was being able to engage with + hold dialogue with people who were perfect strangers. the undamaged, they weren't jaded or cynical b/c they weren't butt hurt by the nasty, foul, brainless + souless morons that proliferated our internet pipes of today. we weren't in competition with each other over who was the bestest, smartest person alive. to which most of y'all would fail miserably if that were the case. I wouldn't, I'm half Korean and also an engineer's son. plus well you know asians are smart and shit huhuhuhuhuh.

the point of the matter isn't stating the obvious, but the elephant in the room: communication disruption. the lonely hearts club can't hook up b/c: dating apps. we've regulated our anti-romantic lifestyles with a dependency on middle men. the infrastructure of love can't be owned by greedy, souless fucks who want to profit on your particulars. if I wanted to monetize the dating game, or in reality the bootaycall game my product isn't love + relationships. it's expediency of enabling two consenting adults to actually communicate. right there, that's the game. don't hate the players hate the game. this is merely an example of how the extreme greed of corrupt pieces of excrement aren't bettering online society but are part of its dysfunctionality. the actual explosion of cyberspace was the promise of nookie (sexytime) for even ugly people. now these greedy fucks have turned that into a literal labor of love (and not in a good way either)

thus we can no longer use the internet for what its made for: communication. even when our voices are heard, they're unheard b/c people want their ears tickled. they don't want to be told shit, lectured, corrected, or villified. the net is already mean-spirited nastiness, people don't need toxic substance. they need light, and they need it yesterday. we need to make our information spaces free, less about paying these worthless weasels trying to get real paid. they aren't looking out for your best interests, they aren't hoping you meet somebody special and they sure as shit don't want you succeeding.
