  • I mean it’s more like social media in general is dying. Alex here is the future.

    Edit: I knew a guy that was a little bit like this. I.e. young and nerdy enough that I’d expect him to have his eyeballs on the news feed, but no. I used to have to explain references to a bunch of stuff that was “going on” because he didn’t care about being “up to date”.

    Whenever I explained one of those things it rarely felt like knowing that stuff was worth it. It’s mostly noise.




  • It’s an interesting point that would be nice to see addressed more in anti-superhero fiction, like The Boys. They addressed this problem to some extent with the Rorschach depiction in the Watchmen TV series.

    Feels like Rick and Morty has had the same issue with people idolizing Rick. They have addressed it to some degree by showing how Rick’s bad qualities also make him miserable etc.

    An even less popular opinion: if you care enough about climate change to not have children you should have children. The alternative is that only people who don’t care about climate change will have children.

    Anyways, the fertility rate has dropped very quickly all over the developed world and the world is turning developed quickly. I’m not saying that will solve climate change but it looks like overpopulation is at least going to be solved.
