That’s just one of the many semantic and material inaccuracies of my previous statement. As you rightly point out, it’s not the realness what’s in dispute. The simulacrum is true.

There is an infinitude of layers of interactions between two organisms (and even more complex if you see each organism as a fucking dividual conundrum like that humdrum ausonia) which get stripped down and reduced, greatly impoverished, when turned into text.

Tech’s response is “just you wait!” as they attempt to replicate and simulate more and more aspects as grotesque caricatures most learn to adapt to and some even prefer because it’s what they know best from the start.

Let’s put babies into robotic teats and nurse them with Teletubies and quell their need for attention and affection with touchscreens. All of these are real, material culture, what can be more real, more solid than that!

So yes, you’re right it’s not about what is real life or not. Everyday technoshithole is real life.

Now, some people sit together in proximity, they share meals and conversations, look at each others facial expressions, smell each other, give occasional pats on the back. Some greet each other with kisses, or hugs, or handshakes,. You hear the tone of their voice when they speak. Did you know people are very detailed and different and particular in the way they do each of these little things? When each person laughs it’s not “lol” each one has a very different laugh, sometimes the laugh in itself is funny and worth the interaction.

Need I go on? Fucking matrix makers of today, jot this shit down and get it right! The internet is real, it’s the only thing that matters!
