Today on the train-ride into work there was a group of what looked to be men in their mid 50s joking about who in their friend group was “alpha”, “beta” or “sigma”. I think that if, at this point in history, even a near-retirement age group of commuters is using the lingo then internet culture is just culture.
I did have to resist the urge to tell them to touch grass.
In conclusion, putting the internet on everyone’s phones was a huge mistake and we should go back to the way it was in the before-times.
