in wisdom you become old

this is kind of weird, but recently I have noticed I no longer keep up with slang

- the fuck is a skibidi??

maybe this is because I no longer browse memes. not on our friend circle’s private Discord, not on Reddit, pretty much nowhere
2024-07-01
- memes largely arrive to me directly from specific people. I don’t go out to kill boredom with memes anymore.
  2024-07-01
- at some point I realized browsing memes adds nothing to my life, and I just stopped doing it. obviously something had to take their place in killing time, and that became… reading Lobste.rs. I think that’s a net positive since you can genuinely learn a lot from people’s writing about computing, but getting time for that required abandoning memes.

the realization that I gain nothing by browsing memes is probably what one could call a piece of wisdom; life knowledge, stuff that shapes your worldview.
2024-07-01
- but by gaining more wisdom, I have lost knowledge of popculture
  2024-07-01
  - not that you can define popculture in today’s society that well anyways. there are so many little corners of culture that it’s hard to tell what’s popular anymore
    2024-07-01
…don’t tell anyone, but I like it that way. I can focus on my art and making it unique. no need to chase trends.
2024-07-01
- even if it means being called an old fart at some point. timeless > trendy
