Everybody privately shit-talks everybody. The phone always listens to it and records it. A viral hack that turns all this shit-talking into texts. Everybody in the world suddenly gets a thousand shit-talking texts from their family, friends and associates. Society dissolves.
Lol. You are shameless. But you are one of the few to reply with any substance (not this reply tho). So stick with the substance.
You’re actively doing the equivalent of a kid plugging their ears and singing loudly in order to drown out something someone is telling them.
And in doing so, you are by far the worst offender in this thread, when it comes to off-topic nonsense. Your comebacks are genuinely embarrasing, and the attention they have drawn eclipse whatever you wanted the point to be.
Trying to explain that to you, so you might comprehend the parts of what you are being told that are worth hearing, and thereby become capable of choosing to do better, has far more substance than your initial hypothetical.
Your most productive course of action, would be to take what you’ve been told, and re-posting the thread with better wording.
Something along the lines of “what would happen if a piece of malware used our devices to record what everyone says in private, and made it public”.
You started with a premise so far from reality, (that there would be something bad to reveal about everyone) that people ignored your opener in favor of discussing its incongruence with reality.
This is facile drivel. Really. Go back to discussing the substance. How society would react etc.
Unfortunately, we do not have the authority to decide what part of our activity people choose to address in reply to us.
That’s up to everyone else. I can only hope you’ll actually read what I write. I can’t make you.
But the responses and votes you’ve received, should make it more than clear to you, what you should take home and think about from this post of yours.
My god man, stop inhaling your own farts, it’s killing braincells. Ground yourself in the observable.
That’s… what everyone’s telling you to do…
Your premise is simply incorrect. Can’t you accept that?
But, for an example of “huffing one’s own farts”, may I direct your attention to…
Your behaviour in this thread?
It doesn’t matter if it’s 100%. Or 99%. Or even 90 or 30. It would still be quite the nuke.
I think this is dead obvious. And I mentioned that.
But you can’t get past that can you?
It’s like you have your eyeball pressed up against the bark of a tree, insisting that there is no forest.
(That’s what we call a “metaphor”.)
You said “everybody”.
That’s right. I did. And people who can’t see past that particular bit of treebark for the sake of discussing the forest are what we call… oh, something deeply derogatory. I forget. Use your imagination.
If this is the kind of stuff you say publicly, no wonder you thought the stuff you say privately would end the world.
Do better, man.
You do better. Return to discussing my point like you did ten replies back. Your shallow hackneyed handwaving just stinks up the thread.
In what way? Stop being one of the people who explains to someone why they’re being down-voted instead of piling on with insults?
Why should I engage with your chosen subject? I’m not interested. The only reason I even opened the post was because of the downvotes, not the premise or title.
And when I did, I found you, actively, either accidentally, or intentionally, pissing people off. You’re being abrasive and adversarial. You’re either trolling, or inadvertently turning everyone away from the thing you actually wanted to discuss.
I don’t care whether it’s deliberate, the explanation for why you should stop is the same.
Yet, you feel the need to continue to go “nu-uh, everyone else is the problem” even as the number of people telling you otherwise, and just the general disapproval, increases.
“Ground yourself in the observable.” How people react when you say and do things, is part of the observable, my friend.
If I succeed, I’ll have made you nicer to talk to. I’m a lot more invested in that.
Even as you probably wont be nicer for me. You likely hate my guts about now, and wont admit it to me even if I do make you rethink things.
Remember way back when I suggested that you return to discussing my point?
