I’m a science teacher. I have serious conversations with unserious children every day. It’s what I do.
Don’t kill yourself. Engagement with people through a digital medium is not a sin.
Also, if I mischaracterized your position in calling it nihilism, I’m sorry. It seemed like your primary thesis was “none of this matters, and to think it does is inherently absurd, so you should do nothing”. To me, that sounds like nihilism.
You don’t understand it, you are naive as a fresh leaf on a spring morning. Internet is not a platform for serious issues. If you have seen what I seen and know what I know from 20 years or more web surfing experience you wouldn’t harbour so much benefit of doubt towards whatever composted filth internet is made of.
After all this is the very reason of why we are failing as a species. It would be crazy to still treat it in any serious way after it literally implodes democracy worldwide from insane tribalism.
Internet must burn and people must lose the disillusionment that they have any sort of power or that their internet speak matters when it is only a box to yell at and thus be silent irl. We must collectively touch grass. We must burn this place and any other, such is the duty of those who know
And yes, Ted Kaczynski was right, at least partially though he had wrong methods
I appreciate your response. If you think that the invention of the internet is why we are failing as a species, that it is the thing destroying our planet, then it seems I have much more work to do. Corporate greed and political corruption are what is literally destroying our planet. I agree: talk is cheap. Go find a way to make corporations, billionaires, and corrupt politicians fear the people.
