This isn’t meant as blasphemy, but nobody cares what you think. Look, you’re reading an Odyssey article, and not just any Odyssey article, but my Odyssey article. This means you’re either in college or my mom. Actually, I should probably clear that up: everybody cares what you think, mom. The rest of you college kids, cool it. I should probably clear this up too: nobody cares what I think either. All of us college kids are smart and stuff, I mean we made it to college so we have to believe that. It’s not like any schmuck with a willingness to go into debt can go to college. We’re right sometimes, that’s for sure, but nobody cares about that either. We’re a bunch of kids who want all the benefits of being adults but none of the consequences; wanting to be heard before we know what we’re talking about. But before you stop reading out of disgust, keep reading until you run out of words to read, I mean it’s only 541 words, and “this” was number 175.

In the echo chamber society we live in, people only care about other things they believe, they aren’t willing to branch out and hear new ideas. It’s comfortable living in a bubble, and who wants that bubble popped? Not me, not you, not bubble boy because he would die, he had a terrible immune system. There’s tons and tons of crap on the internet, and as self-aware as this article is pretending to be, nobody cares about this either. I haven’t written anything you haven’t heard already, after all I’m just another white kid tapping away at his computer looking for a place to vent. Sorry for bringing race into it, that was uncomfortable. I won’t do it again, all white? Oops, that one slipped out, you’d think that would have been resolved in editing, I mean there’s a backspace button. Actually, technically it says delete. Not only that, it’s a keyboard not a button board, so that whole statement was wrong. And yet there it is, in the article, on the internet, sitting in some random guy’s page, going to be looked at by 50 people, but ignored by hundreds who see him advertise his articles for the Odyssey every week.

They don’t ignore it because they don’t like the guy, he’s a totally nice guy. Some even had crushes on him. Actually, he was more than nice. He was handsome and funny, one of the kindest and most genuine people they ever met. In fact, all the girls had crushes on him, some of the guys did too, he was that cool. He was awesome really, voted homecoming king his senior year. Well not actually, but his friend was and he voted for his friend, so that was cool. Yeah, the guy was probably one of the best dudes ever made and his parents were proud and his sister was proud too, but yeah, all those people ignored the post because they don’t care what he thinks. He either thinks like them or he doesn’t. If he doesn’t, nobody cares. If he does, they already think like that. So, why would they read the article in the first place?
