Every high school has a guy who doesn't act like Tate and doesn't tell who got passed around a whole friends circle based on that rep.

I agree, and that is my principle critique of the vibecession notion. some people like Stancil have rationalised their way into it more slowly but it remains an obstacle to deeper understanding.

Accumulation is something I've been thinking on a lot lately, take all the graphs that get worse after Reagan, is that never felt? Don't we expect some secular decline in economic outlook?
Not to mention how much neoliberalisation has exposed regular people to precarious market cycles

There's more to this, people also long compared themselves to TV and movies as well.
But there's this real exposure now to things like crypto grifts, app based investing, omnipresent gambling ads - you can really carry economic anxiety with you in a way only stockbrokers used to

Or perhaps some kind of structural issue that has been declining since the 80s that produces commensurate secular decline in economic perceptions.
Inequality for one, but also increasing exposure to market cycles for the majority of people.

And are we all at debate club with a little judge to place a winner's crown upon our heads? Or are we interested in actual communication and persuasion?
I'm speaking to the latter question only here. Real insights are often counterintuitive, so we need to make them intuitive.

Ok loony, what's your team then? Everything is just different degrees of genocide? We'd have been better off sticking with the tsars then? You'd struggle to find anything that got worse after they got chucked.

There is probably no more singularly transformative event than the Bolshevik revolution in 1917, any pretension that they are the same as the preceding monarchy is nonsense. Might as well just say there's no such thing as revolutions at all.

You're still in the power user mindset. Regular users actually want a default OS that does what they want. Without a definitive version windows will still be the default.

See this is where you're going wrong, there should be no "or" in this post, linux needs a definitive answer if people are going to move away from Windows en masse.

Ohhhh had a guy like this in my classes, he asked if he could play devil's advocate yet again and was taken aback when I told him "no, tell us what you actually advocate for once"

Darling just scoffs at whoever this is who hasn't read a particular report, but it's fair to be incredulous that gig work is reduced since the 90s, likely due to consolidation of larger employers and collapses in piecework industries within the US.

I think we should be realistic about why people feel this way, take Stancil, if you see media as a pernicious force maintaining a false reality (economic pessimism) through bad faith doesn't it logically follow that people reflecting that same view in good faith are pernicious?
