re: #9 The Ghost of a Flea

you get the sense that since everyone uses it to communicate that they believe that they’re some kind of messiah. Not going to deny the power of the tools, but as inventions go, it’s just the latest iteration, you know, like toothpaste with whitening agents. Shitpotfull of people use that too and the improvements in dental health over the last decade are pretty impressive. It’s as if they’re perpetually in the now moment of Hanks building a fire on the beach after the plane wreck in Cast Away. After a while, the novelty just kind of wears off, but these guys are just riding that wave while they roll out additional shit that they believe is cool because they can exploit their users to businesses that want their data.
