I would love to see a visual representation of what you think those sort of people look like.

Fiction would led us to believe they look ugly or gorgeous... history has shown us they look very banal.

Right. All that's left is for us to figure out how to specify the type of banality you and I and our sibling commenter are imagining.

Probably pretty ... banal, like Hannah Arendt pointed out.

Not really.

I mean you'd wish that that was the case, but the reality is even bleaker. The "specific kind" is not all that specific.

Like yeah, of course, the crypto, AI and business grifters are a lot louder on Twitter now, but.. wouldn't say that they're not on HN as well, so.

I mean I understand that you would want to shame people into leaving that platform, but to feel shame you first need to be present in the room and conversation. Apathic people on autopilot are not even taking part in the conversation you'd like to have. They just scroll.
