This is the way the world ends. Not with a bang but a whimper.
Maybe it's just me, but it feels as if our culture has become uncultured - as it were. The people we revere are the Kardashians and pop singers, and we read about their everyday occurrences in magazines and online. When we do climb the intellectual ladder, things are stifled by a STEM circlejerk and the suppression of things like aesthetics and passion.

This is not the greatest sig in the world, no. This is just a tribute.
The Illuminati is using public media and pop culture to keep us docile.

You forgot how Millennials would rather watch personalities play videogames on Youtube than actually play the games themselves.

You should watch this http://southpark.cc.com/full-episodes/s18e09-rehash#source=2b6c5ab4-d717-4e84-9143-918793a3b636:63a32034-1ea6-492d-b95b-9433e3f62f8d&position=2&sort=airdate

Yes.
Passion is suppressed in favor of functionality mandated by societies.
The path laid out for us is the one most people endeavor, making deviation or experimentation difficult.
Creativity suffers, I think.

I say apples, you say oranges.

Then there's the point that some haven't even tried my apples, but would have liked it more than the oranges if they'd just tried it, but they haven't. They remain at where they are, because they are ignorant, and their ignorance keeps the spark down when they hear something that they don't know.

They understand celebs, because educated people make them shine bright as day so that the people won't miss them.

It's basically Kyle's brother watching Pewdiepie, and not wanting to play the new COD with his brother.

If I'm not here, I'm doing photography. Or I'm asleep. Or in lockdown. One of those three, anyway.

The current titlebar/avatar setup is just normal.
The worst part is we spread it - or at least try. You hear often about how this and that threatens some ancient culture, you even see it now with things like spring up McDonalds in places that just seem surreal and out of place.

Dylan Moran has a good take on it.

Yes, yes there is. We give too much care over what somebody ate for breakfast instead of caring about actual world events and paying attention to people in office. 24/7 newsertainment is the biggest issue at hand

We always say to fight fire, you must use fire. This is wrong. Fighting fire with fire will leave scars and a new flame will rise. We must instead use water. It is the opposite of fire, it extinguishes the fire, it cools, it refreshes, it heals. We are made up of 70% water, we are not made up of 70% fire. Please practice what we truly are
The freedom to be creative is definitely limited.
