@Popehat but won't we have fun finding out.

@Popehat Being able to say "I don't know" is one of the strongest things a person can say. Right up there with "I was wrong."

@Popehat sigh…you’re right.

@OranMagal@mastodon.social 2023-06-24 17:08
@Popehat Honestly saying “nobody knows” doesn’t get you a TV segment as a pundit.

@markhughes@mastodon.social 2023-06-24 17:08
@Popehat I don't think it's hard or confusing. Not expected but revealing false assumptions.

@Popehat But that won't stop me from thoroughly enjoying sticking my nose in where it doesn't belong. 🫤

@Popehat Way ahead of you. I have been living in a permanent state of utter befuddlement for decades now.

@Popehat Admitting ignorance is always the best place to start learning.

@Popehat well, i didn't spend most of my day on social media not to have opinions, you know! 😆

@Popehat "I don't know," scares the shit out of most people. But I say, "I don't know" when I want people to know I'm a baller. The way our culture is changing, people would rather listen to someone who admits their limits than to a bullshitter. That seems like a healthy change.

@Popehat But Ken if you don’t pretend you know what’s going on then you won’t be invited on TV and start a career as a pundit with a silly bowtie and then become the most prominent white nationalist on the biggest partisan news network until you get fired and then wind up with a dinky online show on Twitter dot com

@Popehat A+ to this. The unofficial motto of St. Johns College in Annapolis is "In order to know how little you know, you have to know a lot." I know just enough about some of the things going on to be able to shout "I don't know and you don't either, so sit down and let's see what actually happens."

@Popehat no clue what’s going on, but the chaos is kinda funny.

@Popehat The hard part is detecting the bluff when other people say they know what is going on.

@brianbeeler@mastodon.social 2023-06-24 18:49
@Popehat Normalize saying “I have absolutely no idea what the fuck is going on” That's the most Zen thing I've heard all day. "Gate gate pāragate pārasaṃgate bodhi svāhā" or "gone, gone, everyone gone to the other shore, awakening, svaha" means only when we can say regularly say "I have absolutely no idea what the fuck is going on” can we really start to understand "what the fuck is going on.” Either that or the wifi is down.

@ninavizz@mastodon.social 2023-06-24 19:04
@Popehat Also, normalize: "Maybe I shouldn't die trying, because maybe that'll cause pain for people I really love—and, well, is just stupid."

@Popehat but Popehat it's so much more fun to just be a terminally online random person slash influencer bot who posts "analysis" nonstop from the safety of their Cleveland dining room! You too can flood timelines with the federated text equivalent of CNN daytime talking heads with this one easy step
