on non-zhao related news, there was the flame war comelately + I had about pick-up artists, featuring various wild tantric etc sex claims
but we made up on that a few months ago + it's all water under the bridge now

I feel this cannot possibly be true, but at the same time I feel like it absolutely must be true
that is the dualism of zhao

it was of its time
10 years ago (about when I showed up) was such a different time online, much more naive
the illusion that arguments on the internet somehow mattered was much stronger
albeit I think those kinds of open flame wars were less toxic - not than dissensus, but what the meta of internet discourse is now - at least they were up front and mostly sincere

dissensus has always been blessedly free of trolls to a large extent
crazy people held their opinions sincerely
in this Silver Age we're currently experiencing it's become far more collegial, less po-faced than it used to be
you'd never have had this level of inside humor back then
it's a bit of a double-edged sword but ultimately well to the positive
as internet discourse in general has hardened, dissensus has gone other way + become more elastic
it's still a place where people can change their minds about things

the rare but devastating Spinoza burn
he's meant to be the philosopher's philosopher so I guess if you really care about that stuff it's pretty harsh

That was my fault. I started a rumour that Nigel Kennedy, the Aston Villa supporting violinist was his dad and he took it out on crowleyhead.

who else remembers the time Nomad told us she was going to transcribe a Remarc tune to prove that jungle was overrated?

she was a crazy in the good way presence

It's arguable that that is as strong as ever. Twitter is gorier than anything pre social media. They would have got in touch with craners employer and had him sacked!
