Meaning and Pointing

Very thoughtful writing here about how to navigate "information space" and how people cope with a ridiculously fast-moving world.

In navigating this nauseating landscape, we need fixed points that do not exist. This points to a salubrious [health-giving] role for both bullshit and absurd conflict. Fighting about politics, sports, or religion, or believing in harmless bullshit like the persistence of personal identity or Newtonian mechanics, may play a major role in keeping us at home in reality.
