I really hate this style of writing. Not talking about the content, like it could be the windows pop up in the corner of my screen talking about updates or whatever. I don’t know how to describe it or whether it originated from Silicon Valley or Apple or whatever but all the techie/liberal corporate PR, advertising agencies, and media are writing like this. My brain centers in on the ‘we’ for some reason and it makes me angry. They use the first person plural a ton, “we” “us” “our”. Like that Facebook ad that aired recently. I guess it’s to make you feel comfortable, like there’s a bunch of millennials just like you! Right behind the screen. but it’s really an algorithm or a massive imperialist campaign to systematically destroy North Korea or your antivirus software wanting an update.

in G. K. Chesterton's Orthodoxy he talks glowingly about Tradition being the "democracy of the dead," which is true in ways I doubt he intended because it is going to kill us all. for an alleged great wit the man was a master of the self own

i read orthodoxy aeons ago in high school, and i guess the river of time eroded away the broader passage in which that quotation appears, because i had completely recontextualized it; rather, I wound up taking the "arrogant oligarchy of those who merely happen to be walking about" bit as ironic, and filed away the line as a pretty sweet slam on tradition
just goes to show: the person you should trust least of all is yourself
