 There is a website called [[https://inspirobot.me/|inspirobot.me/]] that can randomly generate "deep, perspective-shifting insights" at the click of a button. It is totally not run by insectoids and it really digs into the "quotes can change your life" nonsense narrative. You know, you can solve your problems by just thinking about your life in a way in which your problems look like they're solved. Hunger isn't a problem if you realize that human life is meaningless, so it doesn't matter whether you live (and die) in pain :). I think it's good satire that attacks the "it's all about your mindset" narrative that seems to be pervasive in society. Depressed? Just smile a bit more! The kinds of things your mom would send you to "help you", while completely missing the entire point of what it means to be genuinely unwell.

-<WRAP center centeralign 60%>Generated randomly by Inspirobot. So fucking deep. I wonder why, if inspirational quotes are so powerful and life-changing, they're not more popular in society than they are((Well... they are, just not in this overt form. People still like vain, meaningless quotes, but they do it with more subtlety. Any quote from any person you've ever heard more than three times from different people. Or [[Thought-terminating cliche]].)).</WRAP>
