i think the issue is more that hypernormal straggots don't know how to talk to people about their interests in a way that's like sexy and they use tiktok and drink ice matcha labubu too much which causes a kind of mystical impotents that fucks with your whole vibe and hormones

People chimping out against this essay has a deep devotion to hypernormal meaning they derive from their meaningless work.
Just like in woke era it was a brownie point to signal victim hood in grind slop era it is a status signal to live like a peasant despite the riches.

I think she is actually directionally correct. Pedophilia itself is not normalized, but thinking about pedophilia has become hypernormal.

I enjoyed talking to Jeremy McKeown on his #podcast “In The Company Of Mavericks” (@in_mavericks) out today.
We covered
- what it takes to get on the ballot of a #BuildingSociety as a member nominated candidate for director
- what motivated me to give up a huge amount of my time to get this far
- why #mutual societies matter
- what might happen next
You can listen to the pod on Spotify, Apple etc. or online via this link:

this beautiful thing was the moment it all stopped mattering, the hypernormal object that overheated the machine, a simulacrum of a simulacrum

This cannot be healthy for a large percentage of men to be so infatuated with pokimane that her showing her face up close is getting huge attention. To me, it's a form of hypernormal stimuli that we need to get away from.

...a society where everyone knew what their leaders said was not real because they could see with their own eyes that the economy was falling apart, but everybody had to play along and pretend that it was real because no one could imagine any alternative. You were so much a part of the system, that it was impossible to see beyond it. The fakeness was hypernormal.”
—Adam Curtis, “HyperNormalisation”

Every attempt i've seen at trying to evoke nostalgia for 2016 has fallen completely flat for me. What a dogshit year. Regardless if the memory is supposed to be clorox dank memes or hypernormal suburban white teen stuff I view it with utter contempt

He's trying to fill the hole left by his bad dad and live inside his hypernormal virtual world fantasies. He knows climate collapse is coming and wants to get ahead, but he's too stupid and evil to do anything real. He believes his own great man bullshit

today, while standing near the office printer, my beautiful, perfect, and seemingly hypernormal coworker casually told me that she fantasizes about contracting some kind of disease so she could go on medical leave and not have to work anymore and i was like omg me too !

Had some fun being interviewed by Jeremy from the "HyperNormalTimes & In The Company of Mavericks" Substack and podcast.
"A Letter from Brezhnev: Why the West Knows the System Is Broken But Can’t Say So: It's HyperNormal."
