  • "The Amazing Digital Circus", an indie animation show on youtube.

    I have a 13 year old daughter, which is how I know. Trying to appreciate what shes into has us watching it as a family.

    But, ngl, its pretty dogshit. It is this generations version of "lol so random, cheeze" entertainment with a healthy dose of "im14andthisisdeep" edgyness. The kind of writing that only a 13 year old, or someone with the mental maturity of a 13 year old could appreciate.

    Animation is pretty solid though, especially for a small indie team, so, I'll give it praises for that.

    And the fandom is fucking insufferable. Exactly the kind of fandom you'd expect full of 13 year old quirky edgelords.

  • You're not wrong.

    It's also important to realize that Camus was writing this in response to Nietzsche and Kierkegaard. Authors who had really expanded on an popularized nihilism and existentialism.

    Kierkegaard tried to answer Nietzcsche's nihilistic writings claiming that existence persists through faith, or something like it. Basically that we continue to live because we believe that living is important, and that gives it meaning.

    Camus says, faith is dumb, living is dumb, but it's not meaningless either. It's just absurd, and we need to be comfortable with the absurdity.

    EDIT: That said, I could still be misunderstanding Camus. I have read "Myth of Sisyphus" twice now and listened to it as an audiobook playing in the background more times than that, and it's still a complete mess to pick apart. Camus' writing is so dense with similes and metaphors and he takes the longest route to get to any point.

  • its actually Camus' answer to abject nihilism and why people don't just kill themselves. Knowing that all the work and effort of living is ultimately meaningless and the absurdity of continuing anyways.

  • Can't do that anymore. Not in this modern digital school hell.

    My kid gets a Chromebook for all their school work. Its their textbook, their worksheets, their quizzes, their tests. Everything is done through the Chromebook now, no paper and pencil. Can't even request it (we tried)

    Kid has told me that for many of the big tests, there is no "back" button. So, that whole test taking skill is defunct now. Isn't that cool?

    Also none of the kids can read/write or critically analyze anything because everything is ChatGPT now. The test are written by ChatGPT and if youre not also using it, you'll just have worse grades. Arms race of cheating in school. Isn't that cool?

    Also the school doesnt give parents any admin control of the Chromebook. So you can't set limits, or restrict access. Think social media is a pox? Well, the school doesnt, and you cant block it. Besides, half the lessons are just links to YouTube vids now.... which inevitably turn to watching hours of brainrot instead.

    Future is looking so bright.....

    What are your thoughts on people who are against pacifism?

    Jump

  • this was the first quote I thought of after having read Orwell's. I think they're both talking around the same thing here and I agree with them on it.

    Pacifism is a virtue for those who will be unaffected either way, or who benefit from the status quo. More to the point, it's convenient and easy to do nothing while feeling morally superior. And it's the position of people who look at the violence of the conflict and conclude that both sides are the same. Because they don't want to inconvenience themselves with having to look any deeper, learn anything more, or get involved in any manner. Afterall.... it doesn't affect them, so its easy to be a smug pacifist.
