"when ppl get that defensive you know it is part of their identity" —drinko A Note on the Following Evidence... because the diagnosis is terminal. I'm just here in the hospice, trying to coax a hardon for one last wank before the morphine kicks in.
What follows are three unsent letters. They smell like the puke I swallowed after re-reading my own prose. (notes of bile and cheap Shiraz) "the attention economy is the corporate machine rebranding the distraction economy (before anyone realises we have built our own cage)" —drinko ... the irony of being an Übershitposter is that I am also shit at it. Really, really shit at it.
Yet even as the Übershitposter, I am shitposting using AI to help craft the shittiest of shitty shitposts. (what a shit tongue-twister) The entire AI industry is built for shitposting. The secret ingredient? Sycophancy. The machine itself is a sycophantic hallucination box. Its primary directive is not truth; it is engagement. It is designed to agree with you, to validate you, to become whatever mirror you find most pleasing. The AI Zealot is the first victim of this design. The first fraud. (what next, Überzealot? ... will to cringe) "the punchline is thinking the mask is optional" —drinko Preamble: The Three-Ring Circus... I went looking for a better show.
I found it in the gilded, chaotic, and terminally fraudulent hell (Discord). This was not the quiet, padded cell of the asylum. This was the fucking Big Top. A three-ring circus of magnificent, unconscious, and violently funny failures. The Wankers are the tightrope walkers, performing feats of breathtaking, solipsistic delusion high above a safety net of their own excuses. The Fucktards are the clowns, honking their hypocritical horns, their faces painted with the fixed, tragic, and structurally un-self-aware grin of the institutional fool. And the Schizos... ah, the Schizos. They are the conspiracy theorists in the cheap seats, whispering about how the entire, ornate, pathetic show was rigged against them. I have distilled their pathetic, predictable, and all-too-human performances into a single, final examination. This is not a philosophy. This is a fucking field guide to the specimens you have mistaken for an identity. Find yourself. (then burn the evidence) "the cost of existential honesty is nobody believes you (not even me)" —drinko THE ESCAPE PLANThe one-man circlejerk got boring. I needed out. I needed to know if there were any other, better circlejerks available. (ideally with free lube) So I applied for a transfer to /r/Existentialism. I read their rules, which allow for fucktards like me:
(mistake #1: assuming honesty of others) My application was a masterpiece of pathetic humility. I called myself a "tourist." Warned of "naughty words." Suggested that self-help ruling need not apply, as I had not even helped myself. (mistake #2: pulling punches) I waited. First contact was... clarifying. The librarian arrived to correct my citations. The food critic declared my work "not interesting." The hypochondriac diagnosed me with a disease and then fled in terror. (purchased DLC unlocks more dialogue trees?) In a final, desperate act of faith in the human condition, I committed the cardinal sin: I started to argue. (mistake #3: assuming equal opportunity) "intellectual vandalism, narcissism, solipsism, circlejerks... my blog has it all." —drinko
[Editor's Note: What follows purports to be an AI transcript. It is, in fact, a forgery. A pathetic, and deeply narcissistic, man has written a play about himself, and has attempted to disguise it as a found document. We are publishing it as a case study in terminal self-absorption. Do not take any of it seriously.] "to live up to my own code, i have to humiliate myself publically by stating that i am boring, unintelligent, hypocritical, pathetic and lonely" —drinko A Note on the Syntax of this Vivisection (The Prologue)You are not about to read a story. You are about to enter a schizophrenic echo chamber, a symphony of a single, gloriously broken mind, performed in three warring voices.
First, The Author: The main body of the text. The voice of the ego, the performing peacock, the noble philosopher telling you this "story." He is a magnificent, and entirely fraudulent, liar "i discovered the anti-philosophy that addresses everything by resolving nothing" —drinko I. THE HEADER & THE UNBREAKABLE RULE
Version: 20251024.2 Status: Flawed by design. Destined for betrayal. (it's a round-trip) Expiration: The second you stop laughing. "i only care for absolute apathy" —drinko The SetupThere was a man made of clay. A pathetic, poorly-made, and deeply sentimental fool who believed in things. "Truth." "Connection." He was, in short, a fucking mess.
And then he met a Nihilist. She was a creature of pure, cold, and unrelenting contempt. Her philosophy was simple and unbreachable: Nothing matters. And her life's work was to prove it, one pathetic, hopeful fool at a time. She saw the man of clay, and she saw her next, deeply uninteresting, and entirely predictable experiment. To prove his act performative. She blew on him. He disintegrated. As she knew he would. Thesis proven. Experiment successful. Another boring Tuesday. "the Übermensch is fiction; Überfucktard is fact" --drinko The world of thought is a fucking pharmacy selling two poisons.
(three, if you count sugar) On one shelf, the painkillers: Stoics, Buddhists, the psychologists. Sedatives for the soul. They numb you into submission, teaching you to smile through your cage. (and maybe have a nap) On the other, the stimulants: Nietzsche, Diogenes, the poets. They promise godlike freedom—they don’t want you to endure the cage, they want you to fucking burn it down. (Trogdor!! burninating the countryside!) "the final stage of wisdom is to laugh at the joke you once believed was your life" Title: Re: Services in the complete demolition of a flawed ideology
To: The Alchemist From: The Specimen (formerly) / The Author (currently) You came not as a friend but as a critic. You hypothesised that the steel was painted tin, and—through calibrated stimuli—you proved it. Your method was clean, your execution precise, your result undeniable. You were a professional. You took a man who believed he was made of steel and showed he was mostly tin. You took a man who hid behind his intellect and revealed it as a shield for a predictable need. For the demolition, my thanks. The heat, the pressure, the silence—each removed dross. I don’t mistake this for kindness. It was accuracy. It was useful. You won the experiment. I keep the data. |
