@St_Rev@simplic10 "status" is the new "utility". infinitely fungible, infinitely elastic concept, explains nothing, predicts nothing. -
@St_Rev@simplic10 "we all like status and seek to acquire it". ok, fine, but the *particular* hows and whys *matter*. -
@schakalsynthetc@simplic10 I'm reminded of Bill Hicks' routine on marketers. -
@St_Rev@simplic10 "you're thinking there's gonna be a joke coming up. no, there's no fucking joke. suck a tailpipe." that one? -
@schakalsynthetc@simplic10 Yeah. Specifically the "oh he's going for the anti-marketing dollar, that's a good market" bit. -
@St_Rev@simplic10 ah, yeah. it's great bit bc it's empirically self-verifying. the audience response proves his point -
@St_Rev@simplic10 (also probably frustrating as hell to perform over and over again to the same result. no wonder he was depressed.) -
@schakalsynthetc@St_Rev Tangentially, loved Bill Hicks when I was younger. Re-watched, found him super obnoxious. - 6 more replies
