It's just little mounting cruelties all the time. More and more and more. Everyone and everything becomes increasingly abstract, and it's not like this is going to be permitted to fade away when sales of crap are up so much. It's navigable perhaps, but why? There's no shore, it's a fight to the death against dudes whose parents screwed them over in the most elemental of ways. Everyone believes they're heading towards the abyss and they're going to take as many with them as possible. I don't want to live as a hermit, and the other option is fight constantly until death. And even the hermit option exists at society's sufferance. Like that's going to be tolerated when you've got a generation of porn dogs sniffing the wind for something violent for me and you. Lies and cruelty and minefields and for what, maybe I'm able to disenfranchise enough people to sell an app or set up a blood drain that doesn't kill the host, and maybe my consciousness survives the process of being preserved intact and not horribly altered in a way that leaves me feeling wrong for several hundred thousand years? Shooting me in the face would reify the world that's congealing, and give me peace. Sounds pretty utilitarian, doesn't it?
