Facebook Comment Threads


So i saw this comment thread going on Facebook. i had even participated. Then i saw how it was going and was gonna post this:

i hav to add this...you see the progression of how a status goes from serious comments to some completely different topic comments...started off with 2 actual answers, then 3 troll answers, then 2 metaphysical answers...we can see how the comments hav alrdy started to deteriorate in association with the true purpose of the status and has become more of ppl posting jokes....then we get someone that, having followed the comment thread, got completely confused somehow, (in this case she read the original status wrong, but there are several examples when ppl were trying to follow the comment thread and got confused and stated something like "whoa whoa i thought i was following the story so far, but now im not so sure and im gonna say laugh about the thing i was thinking"), 

This (or possibility a bit before) is where i decided that i could not post this to Facebook and cut and pasted it over to a new blog post:

and stated it as such, changing the topic to now about whatever she said as the ppl who were participating before are confused on to how she had that train of thought to think what ever she thought of, and are now want to understand it and ALSO become interested in whatever the thing itself was that she thought of in that train of thought. 
          This shows the devolving of a status into something much more recognizable as a clusterfuck-chat room. Facebook has basically become ppl just talking or "posting" things and whatever the census is generally talking about, is usually where all "posts" eventually turn too. Its just a bunch of people standing around having normal conversations. People add new topics, they get circled around the room, the general atmospheric topic that come with the times are in general use, and it goes until your zone of people you know in this world, in general, go to sleep. People come in and now as they have their own duties to attend to, and cant even be bothered to check their phone, or atleast cant check it as much. 
          And also the phenomenon of being able to be really close friends with someone uve barely met is possible, bc everyone is of equal distance to each other in the chat room. If your in a social group that another person is a part of, chances are that both of all of yalls friends post on the same things. Which means by the equation that runs what "top stories" feed, the two of you will get similar things, but the majority of your friends are posting on it. Now the two of you are commenting on the same things. Now you are associating as if there was no distance between you. Congrats, you are now friends. 
          This is Facebook. People ask you to get off it, but why? Our social lives, live in this now. Its all about posting to Facebook. It could be that human beings only associate with one another thru the computer in the future. Thats what Wall-E taught us. So now the question just is, which way will the majority of society go? 

          (I bet your thought i was gonna say "which way will YOU go"right? NOPE. BC truthfully its the average, non-thinking person in this world that will command what happens. Not the true intellectuals, as its been known that the majority of people in this world are stupid. And of course, favor is with the majority. So its not where YOU will go, bc it doesnt matter where the individual goes, it matters where the majority collective will go.)
