Tragedies have a tendency to bring out extreme jerkdom in people. Here is a blogger suggesting the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 is a great thing:
In a moment dominated by the radical adoption of new technology, with reports of the NSA’s massive snooping, talk of Amazon drones making deliveries like toilet paper door to your doorstep, or checking the status of a flight through a pair of Google glasses, we need to feel that there is at least something out there that the grand orchestra of satellites and supercomputers can’t find or figure out.
It’s more than a tad ironic, but apropos, that it took a missing airplane—one of man’s greatest technological innovations—to remind us that there’s still some mystery left to humanity.
Who cares about the suffering of people when we can chirp happily about Google, Amazon, NSA, and toilet paper?

Sorry, my mistake. I should stop hurrying.

Sounds like a postmodernist to me. They are very removed from reality. Everything is just about how something impacts on my personal, original psyche, to bring me revelations.

“Everything is just about how something impacts on my personal, original psyche, to bring me revelations.”
– It gets scary when this approach becomes so completely self-referential and even sociopathic.

The postmodernists honestly believe it is unethical and unfounded to posit that there is any “there” out there. Meanwhile some yankee doodle dandees do not even grasp that I am mocking the hell out of them for their “common sense” especially about feminism. One of them quotes Nietzsche at me, “women are a means to an end.” So I replied, if you want to go all biological and common sense on me, well show me your big cock then.
