Every american I’ve met has been willing to kill for something, or willing to die for something.
But not a single one of them is willing to be inconvenienced in the slightest. That’s our sickness.
So i spent a long time ruminating on that and now i’m even more depressed than I was and shit is getting bad again. Sorry for the livejournal post, I haven’t made one in a while. Still around.
I would disagree. People generally do want to know how others are feeling and these conversations often start with some sort of proscribed ritual but can then turn into either conversations or repeated short interactions can possibly build up a rapport. At the very least, it doesn’t hurt to be polite.
We must at least acknowledge each other as human. Walking through the world in our own little bubbles considering every other service worker in our life as nothing but a facilitator of our goods and services is awful and contributing to the alienation we’re in today.
i’ll take a “hey” and a nod over the bullshit. if people communicated autistically it would make the thing you and galaxybrain want to do easier because the signal would be clear and honest instead of drowning in the meaningless noise.
