Catching up to the first Will Smith reaction vid and jesus, I'm so fukking tired of Ish and the smartest man in the room bullshyt. This is an indictment on western society and our brains, that we've reached such a low point intellectually that our reaction to things is based entirely on the reaction of others. If x thinks something is important, it must not be important. In this case, if everyone thinks the slap was real, it must be fake and therefore I'm gonna obsessively look for any millisecond of doubt to place my faith in. It's idiotic bullshyt that leads to believe the moon landing is fake, covid is fake, vaccines aren't safe, Putin won't invade Ukraine etc. I'm tired of it.
Will Smith (temporarily) ruined his reputation and career to slap Chris Rock? Who does that benefit? Chris' tour was already sold out, and Will already knew he was winning an Oscar that night. Both are rich as fukk. Who benefits? This shyt legit makes me mad because it has destroyed critical discourse in this country.
