Tbh the latter would be more interesting if it hadn't already been happening for so long as a slow roll. It's easy to become semi numb to it

But there's Literally Nothing Else Happening. Maybe that gook was kind of right about the "End Of History"

I think it feels more real to chinamen with their $20k humanoid robots and shit though. To Americans AI is just another app on your phone that you ask how to make ice cream

For the People Who Don't Pay Attention To Anything But Their Own Lives, who knows. Who cares, really. I don't consider them Real People and they don't matter

Existence is insane.everything “happens” inexorably and incrementally. Choosing to ignore reality and the arc of history because it doesn’t meet some arbitrary threshold or isn’t like the story beat of a 90 minute blockbuster is really really incredibly banal to hear constantly especially from online posters who love to rail against “marvel movies” or whatever low cultural fare piñata is out there

Humans evolved over 70 million years or whatevr gradually “nothing happened” would be an insane statement imo to describe that

This “nothing happens” thing is so reductive and stupid. And it’s a cop out for people to be subliterate / uneducated, get carte Blanche to never make any judgements on what’s going on around them in real time till they get some easily packaged and digestible event. Identifying the small incremental cumulative ecological trends way more fascinating imo

For large stretches of history in many times and places almost nothing happened. Then in the modern era, an enormous amount began happening within even short periods of time. Each decade in the 19th century was like 1000 years of pre-modern Happenings

This continued all the way up to the end of the cold war, at which point History began to slow down until it started to grind to a complete halt around the Obama era

Now there is almost nothing happening at all except the soft civil war in the West and now AI

“AI” is just a computer don’t get why that’s a “happening” when it’s just as banal as anything else atm. Helping brown people Autocomplete for sentences is not very compelling stuff

Americans are dumb have a uniquely poor and constantly reformulating sense of history imo which is why they are unable to parse anything that isn’t a gay stage managed psychological operation that occurs very quickly as history or “happening “

People just want it now because they’re all blown out by screens and instant gratification or whatever. I just think it’s not any less interesting Because it’s happening slowly It’s still happening

I thought of another thing Actually Happening though, the Ukraine War, although after all is said and done the practical result may be almost no change at all lmao

There may finally be an excuse to kick Turkey out of NATO before the decade is up
