"It'd be a weird sort of person who doesn't willfully ignore reality"
Really?
You can remember good things about the past, but it you willfully ignore the most of what the past was, you'll get something unrealistic. Like his notion that the internet was better in 1994.
By 1994, the World Wide Web had only existed for five years, HTML was published in 91 and the browser source code for the first web browser for public use in 1993.
You can like things about the past without saying things like "the Internet was better 30 years ago", because obviously it wasn't.
Some people like the Model T Ford and be history buffs and whatnot, and that's perfectly fine. But who of them would say that a Model T is objectively better than a modern car โ even a Tesla with all it's problems? They can like the experience more than driving a regular car, but I'm sure they would never imagine actually traveling with one. It's just a novelty. Nostalgia.
"No, you weren't 'Born in the Wrong Decade'" โ Dropout
No, that's not anything that was actually said, or even the sentiment expressed.
You are, very childish and immature in how you disscuss topics. It must create either great frustration for you, or fill your time.
Good luck with whatever it is you're seeking.
No, it wasn't said outloud, it was implied.
Your argument isn't coherent, as you're attributing a single phenomena to being caused by a willful ignorance and the rose coloured glasses of forgetfulness or absent minded ignorance.
Which is why you're shifting goal posts to a position you believe is implied but is actually your own contradictory construction, and of your own making.
Anyways I don't think I'll get anywhere with you, as you're liable to such falsifications and implicit strawmanning.
Have fun arguing with positions you're making up for yourself. Strange hobby, but whatever. It probably keeps you occupied, so who am I to judge.
Oh the irony.
I haven't laughed at that sort of philosophy larping this hard in ages. "Cringe", I believe is how the youth refers to the feeling that accompanied my laugh.
What do you find so very incoherent about "the internet was not better in 1994"?
You implied that the person I'm talking to isn't ignoring reality they know exists, like the average speed of an Internet connection being 14kbit/s in 1994. Of course the internet was worse in 1994, and the "wild west" applied to ads and malware as well.
It's funny how big words you try using though, after not being able to even spell "gonorrhea" and not having the wits to check how it's spelled when you write it and doing with "gonerea", and, have, such weird, punctuation that makes, reading your, text very, weird. :D which makes the logical fallacy larping all the more hilarious via it's pretentiousness.
Your argument is essentially "people don't remember bad things". Mine is "people would prefer to ignore bad memories", which is why he is "wearing rose coloured glasses" as I'm sure he still understands what the internet actually was like in 1994, and willfully ignores the negatives.
