Hmm. So I've been thinking about culture and memes and stuff, and it feels like we're currently in a state of heightened cultural memetic conflict. Not just the obvious stuff, like politics, but even the stuff you barely notice, like memes about hard work, or about whether or not it's proper to ask for money from strangers on the Internet. Like plate tectonics grinding away at each other deep beneath our feet, and all we can see of it on the surface are the mountains, volcanoes, and earthquakes that result. It might be a necessary process, ultimately, but it's pretty rough on people in the here and now. :/
