How does your original argument not apply to the idea of conversation itself?
This is why I said “whether unpopular or not,” because if I accepted your post as true, then I’d argue your post was just group signaling for all the cynical people who always want to believe that all people are stupid & tribal.
A simple example: does the meme of 21 million convey any useful information at all, or is it empty if any purpose except for group signaling to reinforce tribalism? 🤔
