While England endeavors to cure the potato-rot, will not any endeavor to cure the brain-rot, which prevails so much more widely and fatally?
Henry David Thoreau (Walden or, Life in the Woods)
Why level downward to our dullest perception always, and praise that as common sense? The commonest sense is the sense of men asleep, which they express by snoring. Sometimes we are inclined to class those who are once-and-a-half witted with the half-witted, because we appreciate only a third part of their wit. Some would find fault with the morning-red, if they ever got up early enough. “They pretend,” as I hear, “that the verses of Kabir have four different senses; illusion, spirit, intellect, and the exoteric doctrine of the Vedas;” but in this part of the world it is considered a ground for complaint if a man’s writings admit of more than one interpretation. While England endeavors to cure the potato-rot, will not any endeavor to cure the brain-rot, which prevails so much more widely and fatally?
Henry David Thoreau (Walden; Or, Life in the Woods)
While England endeavours to cure the potato-rot, will not any endeavour to cure the brain-rot, which prevails so much more widely and fatally?
Henry David Thoreau
He knew he was damaged. He knew he would never completely be able to give her everything she deserved. But he liked to fucking try and every time she smiled, it was his reward.

ACHILLES: This fellow must be playing the fool.

Circulating libraries were denounced as purveyors of pornography and books of brain-rotting triviality.
Andrew Pettegree (The Library: A Fragile History)
This is is why so many algospeak euphemisms are specific to the online domain of use. Words like “sewerslide” and “seggs” are understood as shared vernacular in the algospace. To use them is to recognize that they are pieces of the social media sociolect and culture. The “brainrot” genre, especially, relies on shared folklore. Each word is only funny when it refers back to the running history of other brainrot words. Memes are necessarily understood in the context of other memes; terms like “skibidi” are popularized as postironic nods to the very culture that spawned the overuse of niche comedic references.
