\n\n"}\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe internet is full of people who are terrible at life, who aren\u2019t good at anything, and who are simply terrible at life, and it\u2019s hard not to feel like this is a bunch of people who are exploring some unknown yet wonderful frontier.
it\u2019s true!
\nWhat\u2019s that? I am exploring some unknown yet wonderful frontier? Nice!
\nLet me clarify something just in case it\u2019s not clear \u2013 I\u2019m not just talking about people who clearly want to be awesome and not get bad grades or fuck up their lives. I\u2019m talking about people who can\u2019t apparently figure anything out about the outside world.
\nYou know, in your everyday, humdrum life, you have decisions to make, things you have to do, and other people will sometimes make bad choices, sometimes fuck things up for others, and sometimes put you in harmful situations. But you don\u2019t always have to make those decisions yourself \u2013 a group of people, maybe even 5 or 10, come along and point out precisely \u201cwhat to do\u201d and then cheerfully volunteer to guide you. \u201cDon\u2019t fuck up,\u201d they say.
\nThey aren\u2019t good at life, though, it seems.
\n(Of course there are plenty of people out there who have done just fine in life who are terrible at life too, and have no idea it\u2019s happening.)
\nThe rest of them have done terrible in life but are really good at life too, and even if some do, they generally have no idea it\u2019s happening.\u00a0
If you\u2019re not being violent or unkind, I think you people are nailing this!
I\u2019m just trying to figure out how you fit this into the \u201cawesome frontier\u201d metaphor? I\u2019d say that if I were to describe the internet in that metaphor, it would involve people being terrible at life in ways that are clearly unpleasant and troubling. But I don\u2019t think that the metaphor is that clear.
