People are often taken in by the Big New Thing. That's why I have a default policy of skepticism towards pretty much everything.

I’m convinced anyone who doesn’t do this is either too young to know better or too dumb to have been paying attention.

The Big New Thing at the moment seems to be a moral panic about oxycodone.

“Covid” or the constant breathless reporting about every possible little thing over 3 years did this to me. Not rehash any of it but now 3 years later people like Zuck coming out and saying things like “Woops maybe we censored the wrong things and promoted also the wrong things. Woopsies.”

I thought I was world worn and tough.

Then came AI and I was again on the doom and gloom train. Then I had a moment, realized this just the new thing and dropped it down a few degrees.

What’s next?
