Yesterday I was trying to take a whole day to rest, actually Stacie D (
One of the clips I came across was Joe Rogan. I listen to little clips of him pretty often, but yesterday I saw a clip with him and Jamie Foxx.. They were talking about the ability of a comedian to actually make jokes anymore because everyone gets angry.
The one line that really stuck out to me was when Joe used the phrase "recreational outrage".
I love it. It makes so much sense to me. People that are angry about things because that is what they do for a hobby. They get worked up, and then lash out about it. It is almost like what gives them purpose.
We are seeing this everywhere, especially the internet. We have to ability to learn and know as many things as possible, and to connect with people all over the world, and advance our species into the future...instead we are too busy being offended and trolling each other.
That sort of nonsense is leaking into the physical world too though. People are starting to act a little more like they act online. They are taking the fake digital world and making their physical world reflect it. The illusion of who they are, or how they are online is pouring into their physical lives.
I think the worst of all of this is the getting offended and lashing out part. I think that people are burning down some real bridges, even when that wasn't necessary...but there you go, that's the world we are living in.
I think that for me I love the challenge of navigating situations. I love the art of thinking something but not needing to say it. To see all sides of a story and not take just one. To have opinions, but not take away others opinions to validate my own. It is a subtle art.
I hope you all have a great day, and if you feel like you are just going to start getting outraged for fun today...I don't think you should haha.
Be well
