    This guide is worthless. This guide is funny.

    This guide is worthless, but it’s funny.

    The value in this worthless guide is in its comedy.

    I was in a band during the MySpace days. We got a comment one day: “You sock.”

    Was it a typo? Did they mean suck, or rock? Only one letter away from both and those letters are pretty close on the keyboard. Schrodinger’s Judgement if you will.

    I still think about that comment from time to time.

      It’s like standing in the middle of a bridge, the Levenshtein distance is the same no matter which way you look

          This works well. Lazy people will try to make others do the intellectual work of their argument. You just have to turn it around on them and ask questions that force them to open the box of whatever nonsense they started with.

          Often times they will get tangled up in their own argument, or it will start to expose the contradictions.

    It annoys me that this isn’t just a funny comic. I know some 60+ year old folks who pretty much only talk like that, thinking they’ve eaten wisdom with a spoon, purely based on life experience. Except that they’re not actually saying anything.

    I’m currently reading The Conquest of Bread and it talks about how when a revolution occurs and a government falls, the bourgeois upper and middle class will wax poetic about what will happen next, how the vacuum will get filled, etc; while the working class at the bottom will be the ones to actually carry out the work and face the brunt of the change.

    This meme is how I imagine those upper class people talking lol. When I read it, I immediately pictured Jordan Peterson fanboys droning on and on about what they think should happen, while actually saying and doing nothing.

    Tbh, I think this might actually work. People can take it either way and will usually take it the way they want it to sound.
