Self

Selfies and Instagram presage a near-inevitable future of machine-based memory augmentation and enhancement.

These people โ€“ as daft and narcissistic as many of them are โ€“ are like the BBS users of the early 80s compared to the internet users of the now, except in this case they are the oracles and stentors for the eventual subsuming of humanity into its machines, or at the least hybridization therewith.

Board surfing

Itโ€™s amazing to me that people can be bored by things like computers, cars, roads/transportation systems and biology, when these things are literally the main determiners of their lives.

Most people are bored, and therefore boring. As the saying goes, the best way to be interesting is to be interested. This is true in many senses.
