the fact the world functions at all while running on matryoshka doll levels of bullshit and duplicity is equal parts impressive, terrifying, and depressing.

Think about this for a moment.

We made bullshit generators that ingest all the actual knowledge we feed them and manage to vomit out bullshit that's so close to perfect most of the time that we now need a second bullshit generator to re-bullshit that output into a more palatable form of consumption for us. And it's being sold to us for an additional $4.99 a month.

Fuck me.
