absolute absolutes

May 20, 2025

 

“nice to meet you Kevin”

 

“it’s Kelvin—”

 

“oh sorry Calvin”

 

“no,  Kelvin




As the attention span 

of the average American 

approaches absolute zero

we’re lowering 

our expectations

how low can you go?

−273.15 °C 

−459.67 °F

theoretically possible

practically unachievable

but don’t doubt

the average American

look see

finger pointing

strong correlation

the ubiquity of the

smart phone

and how we

dumb it down

post hoc ergo propter hoc

see fallacy see

beyond comparison

absolute adjectives are

the satisfying clunk-click 

of an old school 

toggle switch

IT IS

or 

IT ISN’T

there is no slightly

no sorta kinda

no very very

no almost

all or none

with it

or 

on it

take it 

or 

leave it
