I'll add "Ghost in the Wire" to my to-read list :)

* I'm probably still naïve but hopefully a little bit less so

It's something we humans are good at. Smushing events, things, people, happenings into a ball, condensing it over time into a singular emotive feeling, of happiness, sadness, of acceptance or rejection.

And winners write the history so they have a good head start. And the rest of us, especially now, are just media creators that contribute to the narrative contributing to that binary feeling of happiness or sadness, of acceptance or rejection.

And in a few more cycles most of it won't matter. Not the drama that rise on here, not the bullshit that happens at the parties, not yelling, screaming, not the kindness, nor mercy sometimes.

It won't matter.

As long as that condensed emotion in your heart is agreeable.

Because that's what we are. Humans being fed stories, "real" or "fake" until we die.

There isn't a lot like that anymore which is a little sad, but I look upon it fondly. The internet had to grow up at some point I guess.

Unfortunately, as more and more people use terms like these, the definitions become looser and the meaning less evident.

Ah well, thusly does language evolve...
