a few years ago there was some go-nowhere brainstorming on this board for some new type of literary movement. one of the concepts formulated was that of naivete, which basically boiled down to a flat-out rejection of accepted beliefs, norms, facts and assumptions. obviously this isn't groundbreaking stuff in itself since this was historically the basis of most such movements, but i do think it is particularly prescient for the current age, where we are too plugged in, so to speak. too online, too filled to the brim with shit, living off of impulses and short attention span, which this influx of information is supposedly meant to keep us properly informed and educated, but which i think really creates massive blindspots in our understanding of the world, causing us to react to events and situations based on a large amount of ignorance to historical context.

so, when naivete was first floated it clearly did not make it past a single general thread, but the more i read these posts, the more i really do feel a forcible rejection of supposed 'understanding' and a deliberate diving into of a foundation of 'i do not know' could help us re-orient our bearings in this world, and step away from the technodystopian matrix that offers us no actual useful tools by which to comprehend or navigate the world we currently live it. time is moving fast, and large swaths of the global community is being pulled away by the current with no lifejackets or even a rescue team to save them. it needs to change.
