What Reddit's 'ridiculous' button tells us about mortality

It seems completely foreign to me that someone would press a button like that and think there wouldn't be social consequences for it. I can't think of a single thing I've ever done in my whole life that I wouldn't or haven't been judged for.

I was talking to a friend the other day about how "people's clothes don't matter." I was saying that, yeah, in theory they don't matter. I think they don't matter. So when someone goes out of their way to dress oddly, I know it matters to them, and that contradicts my belief that clothes don't matter.

So obviously they do matter, even if I want to believe they don't. Things that don't matter just don't get attention. What is important is knowing why the important things are important, not simply what the important things are.

So even if people won't care about a silly button press, they will care about your apathy to it.
