Contemporary madness among a mewling virtual crowd, cryptobabble is like [[yogababble]], only for those who “hold on for dear life” while disdaining “right clickers”, in the mistaken apprehension that, because [[this time is different]], “we’re gonna make it”. | Contemporary madness among a mewling virtual crowd, cryptobabble is like [[yogababble]], only for those who “hold on for dear life” while disdaining “right clickers”, in the mistaken apprehension that, because [[this time is different]], “we’re gonna make it”. | ||

We tend to name epochs in hindsight, by reference to the structural change that ended them: “proto-indo-European”; “prehistoric”; “dot-com bust” — this is usually historiographically wishful, since the one thing that cannot define the people of a given period is what comes after it — but our current, mad, hysterical times may be the exception that proves that rule. Almost no-one with a functioning cerebellum seems in any doubt we are in the end of days — over this conviction seems to be spurring people on: we are so fucked we might a well enjoy the ride. What the hell, buy bitcoin: mint some stupid artwork in a blockchain and sell it for monopoly money — we’re off the cliff and there are only moments left, so what else is there to do? | |||
