    That sudden realization that there is no playbook, and everyone is just making it up as they go.

    I’m convinced that the sudden popularity of conspiracy theories are actually people who badly need there to be something in control of it all, even if it’s malevolent. That’s somehow more comforting than actually staring down the void.

      Bro conspiracy theories make a lot of sense… not because there is a master plan but so many people hear so many different things that if there is a real master plan no one has the details exactly right.

      Like shit I’ve worked in a ton of offices and I can’t tell you what anyone was working on or what those offices even did.

      I personally like the void. It makes me realise that life is so meaningless that I may as well take piss out of everything. Obviously this doesn’t work out well for me at work or in relationships or in finances or health or any normal metric of success but that’s the beauty of it, who cares? All that stuff can suck my nuts
