The Georgian period was all about showing off. For instance, rich people would make a big show of having table decorations at dinner parties made from sugar-syrup. Sugar was incredibly expensive in the day and so it was used to display how wealthy, and therefore better than everyone else, they were. They'd buy the sugar and have it taken to a place to have the decorations made and then display them as talking pieces over the dinner party.
I think this sort of behaviour was behind the magnificent façade with nothing behind it. It's quite odd I guess, but no more odd than some girl putting revealing pictures of her boobs on Facebook or Instagram in a vain and desperate attempt at attention she probably never received from her father...Or some such thing. At least we have a lovely building to look at now...
If that was the Georgian period, this must be Georgian 4.0. Like you said, all people seem to do nowadays is show off. Like you said, girls will post pictures on Facebook showing off (almost) everything. At one point I think people realized there is value in keeping your valuables private. And I don't think that many of the things people show off now will look as good as that building in 250 years. Ha ha.
Yes I agree. Makes me wonder what the next level of narcissism is...Do they take everything off completely? Check it out on a FB or Instagram page soon...
I don't know, man. I don't know. I can't do facebook anymore. And Instagram got to be too much for me as well. I worry for the state of Steemit if all those people stop thinking that crypto is a scam and decide to bring their self-destructive brand of narcissism here. After all, I don't really want competition. ;)
Yeah, I don't have Instagram or Facebook mate, just not interested. Steemit is already bordering being like Instaface with endless meme's with little or no actual content, an image of their breakfast with the words "loving life right now" and that sort of shit. Still, it's a free world I guess and I have the choice to withhold my vote on that sort of crap...And I do.
Now that Dmania is gone, there aren't as many memes. Personally I think there should be a difference in what rewards are available. I don't think memes should even come close to the same rewards structure.
Yep. It's got to be a really good one to get my vote.
This is how it should be...No circle-jerking...Just reward for good content.
