On topic with my statement, is this your way of saying "serious people have a say in politics, jokesters dont"

I dont get it. When you're sarcastic - you're delusional to reality and have some self esteem/ego/social problems...

But when you're SERIOUS...oh boy...does the world change then.


Just look at the debates this year. So much REAL ISSUES being pressed, none of that insecure ego shit.

Actually ego also loves to be serious, so to laugh it off and accept your powerlessness is amazing.

What the fuck do you really control? I have been enjoying being the passenger seat recently.

No you don't get it apparently. Those people actually believe with all their heart, body, soul and mind that what they are doing will make real change. They believe it. They don't need sarcasm to cope because their ego actually believes they have control on some level. They fully believe that their actions are giving them power over the situation.

But when you're SERIOUS...oh boy...does the world change then.

What people believe and what actually happens are two different things, but they believe that what they are doing is changing the world even if its not. So they don't have to cope with the fact that they are powerless because they believe they have the control, even if they really don't. 99% of people will overlook facts to protect their ego every single time.

I think he said we do not have control of elections.


The better question is do we really have any control of our own thoughts or actions? There has been a scientific study that showed that our decision-making process is an illusion, that by the time we think we are making a decision it is already made it in subconscious mind.

But are there any ties between sarcasm and IQ? Are "dumb" people blind to it?

The web is full of the same dumb shit just reorganized through technology and social media trends. Very little to OMFG about. This state of our culture breeds sarcasm and cynicism...

And out in the valley warm and clean
The little ones sit by their TV screens
No thoughts to think
No tears to cry
All sucked dry
Down to the very last breath
Bartender what is wrong with me
Why am I so out of breath
The captain said excuse me ma'am
This species has amused itself to death

-- Roger Waters "Amused to Death"
 
Heh, reminds me of a joke I forwarded to an American friend of mine years ago:

SAN FRANCISCO MAN BECOMES FIRST AMERICAN TO GRASP SIGNIFICANCE OF SARCASM

Jay Fullmer, 38, yesterday became the first American to get to grips with the concept of sarcasm. "It was weird" Fullmer said. "I was in London and like, talking to this guy and it was raining and he pulled a face and said, "Great weather eh?" and I thought - "Wait a minute, no way is it great weather".
Fullmer then realised that the other man's 'mistake' was in fact deliberate.

Fullmer, who is 39 next month and married with two children, aged 8 and 3, plans to use sarcasm himself in future. "I'm, like, using it all the time" he said. "Last weekend I was grilling steaks and I burned them and I said "Hey, great weather."

The best part? My friend didn't get the joke.
 
Sarcasm, as far as being able to formulate it and understand it, is a signifier of social and linquistic intelligence. Reading some of the responses, I think it's fair to say that we've got some real geniuses posting in this thread.
 
I use sarcasm to deal with my friends dumb outlooks on the world...I dont judge them for it, I dont lecture them, I know I wont ever change their mind...and after all - we DONT need to agree, I dont judge people by the amount of our identical outlooks and opinions.


Sarcasm helps me deal with the some sort of disappointment I have with them...

Older I get, more grumpy I am.




I wish I saved the pic......man....few months ago, this girl updates her status with "oh finally Im about to make some pancakes"

and the INSTAGRAMMED (of course, let the fake depth of field and retro polaroid lomo look commence) pic was epic


flour, milk, pan, kitchen in the back and....and.....ONE HINT OF IPAD, IPHONE AND APPLE KEYBOARD in the distance, in the fuckin kitched


Aint that retarded, vain? The fuck was she thinking, people gonna be impressed with her i-product lineups?


I hate that. Therefore I sarcasm.
 
They're not bad people...in any way...but they do have issues with appearance, I think 99% of people today have...
 
I know you are not trying to change the world, but I felt this might be appropriate:
Wanting to transform the world
without discovering one's true self
is like trying to cover the whole world with leather
to avoid the pain of walking on stones and thorns.
It is much simpler to wear shoes.
