The Great Thing, Osmosis

“You know what the great thing is about being a liberal progressive leftist?”

“What?”

“You don’t have to waste any time having to think for yourself. You just have to find out what you’re supposed to think about various zeitgeistian things, and then you just go along with these opinions, whatever they are, or however they may change overnight.”

“And this will all enhance your individuality?”

“Oh yeah. Big time. It’s all about individuality.”

“So that all means then that, rather than having to do something as tedious and time consuming ad thinking for yourself, that you've got loads of free time to do more enjoyable things like watching Netflix or whatever?”

“Exactly. It’s kind of like saving the planet at a mental level. You’re not having to pointlessly fire up all these neurons in your head.”

“But it can still take a bit of effort though, can’t it, finding out what you’re supposed to think so you can be an autonomous individual?”

“Not really, no. It kind of all happens somehow more by osmosis. You more or less just kind of absorb it all as a by-product of being tuned into the cultural noosphere.”

“That’s cool.”
