It's not that he's wrong or cynical or the wrong kind of doomerpilled or whatever

It's just that he's pointing out problems without offering anything better. Criticizing people for being mad online but even admitting no real other solutions exist.

I really don't know what to do about that besides stay mad. :(

Matt is Bashir and we're all Rom in desperate need of a Chief O'Brien to help up bridge that gap between good theory and good practice.

I am not sober right now.

      really? I've heard him mention it so many times, it's a common theme with grillpill

      I remember a long discussion where talks about how he regrets the name "grillpill" and goes into it, it does feed a misconception from before had fully developed the idea

                didnt basically any of the vote ball saga have it? specifically the two most recent? they definitely briefly spoke about how its not doomerosm its liberating as you can not give a shit about online squabbling and its the beginning the inner journey to finding what you need to put energy towards to A: have an outlet like crafts etc and B : find a social cause to fill the void IN YOUR DIRECT MATERIAL COMMUNITY

                totally paraphrased but thats whay ive absorbed as i binged them at work today and yesterday as i catch up

                i remember phrasing it as the freedom to not have to care as thats whats liberating

                  Yeah makes sense, I see loads of big accounts burn themselves out getting mad every 2 days over whatever moronic crap and awful baby brain takes people come up with online. Just log off, you can still have fun with your pals and followers online but the squabbling is a never ending cycle wasting energy in a total unproductive way.
