Hi unflxw. My name is Kris. A human being. I thought I introduce myself because it does not feel like you would talk to me the way you do here if we meet in person. You are not interacting with a website. You are interacting with real world human beings. And you are interacting in quite an abrasive and frankly hurtful way. Are you aware of that? Is that your intention? I really don't care what you think of me. I hoped to have a nice chat about the robot dogs. But I guess you preferred to throw insults around. Sad. Anyway. Hope you will have a good day. |

My undoubtedly harsh words intended to disqualify a line of thinking that I saw as logically dishonest and ethically dubious. Regardless, I overreached and turned it into a personal attack, which was not what I intended.
I've had enough of this terrible fucking website, and the terrible fucking people in it, even if there are also plenty of wonderful, insightful people in it, worth participating in conversation with.
The latter, to answer the previously stated question, are why I have participated here, even if it means having to share a space with people who do not feel the slightest tinge of doubt, self-awareness or embarrassment whilst crowning themselves "actual intellectuals".
This website brings the worst on me, and it brings the worst in others. Everyone here acts like they're so fucking smart, saying the most inane shit to each other, pretending each comment is a philosophy treaty, and patting each other on the back for it. I'm sure we're all really nice people when you meet us in person, even if we're unbearable shitheads in here.
And in trying to counter the hypocrisy, the self-reinforcing bubble of fake intellectualism, I too became part of it and turned into one of the unbearable shitheads. What a waste of time.
