small world

Sometimes it's easy to forget, with how big the internet seems, how small the world is.

I clicked on a link to read an article by Raina Raskin, a new mother, about how the first time her baby smiled at her shattered her illusions about what mattered in life. All that status-seeking, career-promoting bullshit didn't hold a fingernail to that split second of joy. It was a good article. I wanted to know more about the woman who wrote it, so I googled her name and found her Twitter account and scrolled for a bit. Raina is married to Max, who is also, unsurprisingly, a well-connected man of letters, interviews powerful and influential people, and has a lot of interesting things to say.

One of the interviews was with the owner of an alleged "comedy club" in New York whose channel I'd stumbled upon randomly just the other day. The owner, Noam Dworman, interviewed an urban warfare expert for an hour and a half about the war in Gaza. It seemed quite odd that a forum named "Comedy Cellar USA" would host an interview about such a decidedly non-funny topic, but here we are.

The more conspiratorial internet-dwellers would, of course, conclude from such incidents that The Jews are all in on it, pulling the strings, shaping the narrative, and forming the consciousness of the sheeple to be amenable to their continued domination. After such experiences, I understand why there are people who think like I do. It is a much easier explanation to digest than one that says something about the Jewish propensity toward intellectual pursuits, to be well-read, to be engaged with the world, and to have a lot to say about it.
