I found it telling when “i” and “my” replaced “e” (i.e. email) in Internet lingo. The Internet has become a place for narcissists to tell everyone how great they are and to allow sociopaths to sow their seeds with no consequence for their actions.
What we need in this country is a big ol’ EMP. Just wipe it all out for a few weeks and show everyone what it means to live. It’ll serve to cull the herd since many will likely go batshit crazy, while those prepared among us will shoot anyone who’s nuts enough to come looting our stores. Win-win!
Reality will do just fine. In the cycle of human beings, this "era of self" will be rewarded grandly with plenty of bad news.
