“I can prove to you that constant copying of images, photographs, quotations, links and other media errata is more harmful to your creativity and (both relational and intellectual) intelligence than smoking is to your lungs.

More: you are overtly attacking the minds and intelligence of your friends, and think you’re doing them some kind of favor by ‘sharing’. Sure, if sharing a deadly virus is some kind of favor, well, maybe by that logic, you’re ‘correct’.

But I suspect that it won’t matter if I prove it to you. Because you’ve been doing it for so long that you actually don’t know how to do anything else.

You’ve become owned by the aspect of yourself that is unoriginal. You’re not an intelligence. You’re a fan. You’ve been converted. And worse, you consider that both natural and appropriate. Good luck.”
