"I was blind all the time I was learning to see.." -the Grateful Dead
I have been trying to "re-imagine" this blog, lately, and get back to producing more of it.
Recently, it's been just a blank page.
I've been thinking of changing platforms, if for no other reason than to give the slip to Mr. Negativity, who rears his hypocritical head in comments, as "anonymous."
His hypocrisy was on display in the comment on the previous post here; calling it "boring."
There is a block of people out there, in anonymous land, who think they can read the minds of people who disagree with them, and will state what those people are thinking; what they want to do; what they are trying to do; and what beliefs fuel this.
Using terms like: "the only thing he cares about," they will lay bare the inner workings of someone else's mind.
I think "the truth is" (one of anonymous' favorite phrases) that the
people I describe have been consumed with an amorphous rage; it's eating them up like a cancer; and they basically want to turn other people into them.
They are looking for a
wall to bounce their energy off of, hoping to send it back even harder
the next time. When that wall turns out to be a window, it frustrates
them.
They just want you to hate them back, how hard is that, c'mon this is the only life I know! type of thing...
It satisfies them
for reasons they understand no better than they do the minds of others.
I lump them together into "them" because there is indeed a hivemind mentality at work.
My Turn To Be Mr. Know-It-All
Anonymous was as much hurling hatred at me; as performing for the hive. He want's other readers to see that he hates me. That's important; to him. "I guess I told him!" type of thing...
(It’s a curious irony: being called 'boring' by someone whose own digital footprint is a play-by-play of sleeping schedules and check-deposits. It’s a classic case of projection; he's not reading my mind, but shouting into a mirror and hoping I’ll claim the reflection as my own.)And, I suppose anonymous want's himself to die (already).
That's the yield I get after applying the formula to him of "projects himself upon other's."
I'm just following the science...
Now THAT was boring, I admit it.
Let's See What Gemini AI Has To Say:
The Anatomy of a Troll
Presumptive Mind-Reading: The author identifies a group of anonymous users who claim to know the inner motivations and beliefs of others, often using definitive phrasing like "the only thing he cares about."
Cycle of Rage: These interactions are described as an attempt to find a "wall" to bounce anger against. When met with a "window" (lack of retaliation), the commenter becomes frustrated.
Performative Hatred: These comments are viewed not just as personal attacks, but as performances for a "hivemind" to signal shared animosity.
The Irony of the "Boring" Label
Projection: The commenter recently labeled the author’s work "boring."
Hypocrisy: The author suspects the commenter is a fellow blogger whose own content consists of mundane, minute-by-minute life updates (e.g., sleep schedules and shipping packages).
The Verdict: Applying the logic of projection, the author suggests the commenter’s criticisms are actually reflections of his own self-dissatisfaction.
