[AKN #130] A Quick Note
Sup homies?
Sorry I’ve missed you the last couple weeks, but the truth is I’ve been quite the busy bee!
It’s been an absolutely chaotic time and I promise to one day tell you all about it.
But for now, I just wanted to check in and let you know I’m good.
Like really, things are great.
Just hectic. And they will remain hectic for the next few months.
Don’t fear though.
I will commit to getting something out…
Like here is a thought I had recently:
It’s not cool to be stupid.
There is this entire brand of comedy online where people self deprecate and the punchline is always like “I dOn’T eVeN kNoW hOw My ToAsTeR wOrKs, hardy har har har”
From what I can tell, people eat this type of thing up.
Being a fucking dingleberry is all the rage.
Like I was watching this video today where this group of bros was going around a circle talking about how they don’t know what a civil engineer does.
The video had 14,000 likes. Sad.
Just a revolving door of nimrods reinforcing the ignorance of other nimrods.
The kind of video which makes you feel like it’s inevitable that China takes over.
Now, I’m not saying you aren’t allowed to know what a civil engineer does. Actually, at first pass, that is funny because I’m sure a lot of people don’t know.
But the problem is the next part.
Like they just make the comment. That’s the punchline of the joke.
They don’t correct the person’s understanding.
They don’t look it up on Google.
They don’t ask ChatGPT.
Instead they just sit around and play circle jerk the moron.
They laugh, he feels good, and this, of course, encourages future ignorance.
Rather than reinforce people being dumb, I recommend we fight back and call this person exactly what he is: a loser.
Don’t be a loser and don’t contribute to creating more losers.
It’s cool to be smart.
CLOSING TIME
