   You start out wanting to interact with cool others.   
      
   You wind up cursing the days everyone was born.   
      
   It's explain-able. But it turns out explanations transferred via   
   word mediation to private conceptuality contexts other than the   
   one in which they originated don't mean what they did in the one   
   in which they originated.   
      
   From there, the alleged being-keepers of said spaces argue in vain,   
   imagining the alleged being-keepers of other conceptuality contexts   
   to be idiots for not "getting it", when in fact there's no way   
   to get it in a scenario in which words mean different things in   
   different conceptuality contexts.   
      
   Thus is the internet *necessarily* merely endless Tower of Babel.   
      
   The situation might be salved by mythical "good will". But such is   
   truly mythical given how quickly it evaporates in the vicinity of   
   the slightest misunderstanding.   
      
   So... I'm just going to laugh and be thankful for not being in the   
   throes of all that delusion *too* often. Yes, it happens: getting   
   sucked in by seemingly sincere responses comporting like-mindedness   
   and/or spirit. But it's always best to resist that illusion.
