“In 1976, a professor of economic history at the University of California, Berkeley published an essay outlining the fundamental laws of a force he perceived as humanity’s greatest existential threat: Stupidity.

Stupid people, Carlo M. Cipolla explained, share several identifying traits: they are abundant, they are irrational, and they cause problems for others without apparent benefit to themselves, thereby lowering society’s total well-being. There are no defenses against stupidity, argued the Italian-born professor, who died in 2000. The only way a society can avoid being crushed by the burden of its idiots is if the non-stupid work even harder to offset the losses of their stupid brethren.”

I swear this whole “use the app” instead approach has become literal cancer.

“Tired of running your massively popular online service? Call BrandWreckers™ , your one-stop shop for dismantling user loyalty and brand reputation. Call now and lose your first 10k users for free!”

not sure if more or less, but the time spent here is 100% more enjoyable. With corporate social media there’s always this vague sense of brain-rot going on in the background. Don’t feel this here. Actually had some nice conversations over the fast few weeks.

nice! this might just become my daily driver

“our users are very engaged in their disdain of our CEO” 👍

lol, what did they expect?
