Insanity is a greenhouse gas
Did you know humans release 7.93 gigatons of Batshitium vapor into the atmosphere each year?
Batshitium vapor is the #1 cause of social climate change. As it builds up in the atmosphere, it prevents incoming problems from finding simple solutions and escaping back into space, causing agitation levels to rise uncontrollably.
The recent uptick in artificial disasters, such as whinestorms, power outrages, and other microcatastrophes, is no coincidence.
Such artificial disasters are quickly making our planet uninhabitable, especially for people who live on populated coastlines. (Rural areas, where urgency takes more energy to manufacture, are somewhat less affected.)
The Fuss Fuel Industry
The ad model incentivizes media and social media platforms to burn Fuss Fuels to “drive” “engagement.”
Fuss Fuels are manufactured by drilling down into people’s psyches, surfacing long-dormant trauma, injecting it into public discourse at carefully measured rates, and igniting it to create commotion.
The Fuss Fuel Industry releases over 2.9 gigatons of Batshitium vapor, annually. These vapors pollute public discourse, and prolonged exposure can cause temporary brain damage in entire populations.
Batshitium vapors also provoke Congress to undergo ideological mitosis, which reduces its memetic diversity and stunts its ability to sustain the governing body into further generations.
Insanity recapture technology
Ideamarket is insanity recapture technology.
By aligning incentives between information producers and consumers, Ideamarket is designed to take insanity out of the air and convert it into something useful.
Ideamarket also provides new, ad-free income streams for both media and social media companies, reducing their dependence on Fuss Fuels.
With Ideamarket, journalists and media are rewarded for...
Investigating and exploring important issues
Encouraging understanding and empathy between different viewpoints (the wider the demographic that trusts you, the larger your potential investor base and income)
Publishing their best content for free
and punished for...
Lying about and omitting important issues
Provoking outrage and division for the sake of engagement
Artificially limiting circulation to benefit paying subscribers
Meanwhile, the public is rewarded for...
Identifying and popularizing the best ideas in the world
Listening charitably to opposing viewpoints
Performing due diligence on narratives
and punished for...
Accepting mass deception in exchange for social status
Vilifying people with opposing viewpoints
Prioritizing social status over genuine understanding
In conclusion
98% of scientists agree that if global Batshitium emissions continue to rise, Emperor Nero will return from the North Pole and deliver violins to all of America’s enemies.
Hopefully we can act in time to reverse the crisis at hand.
Literal "The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels" level of parody question:
1. Batshitium capturing does not work, why not we fertilize the sea of knowledge with iron fists as recommended by the entrepreneur Curtis Yarvin?
2. If we are entering a congressional ice age as forecasted by social climate scientists Samo Burja and Peter Turchin, why shouldn't we reap the benefits of Fuss Fuel?
