Blogs are awesome doppelganger tools. Yup, you guessed it; I’m revealing another doppel secret to the world! Let’s take a detour first. Over the years, literacy rates have skyrocketed! Seriously, back in the day being able to read wasn’t just a luxury; it was a path to wisdom or just a reason to act better than everyone. Stuck up and wise people are hard to doppelgang, because they’re always doing stuff that makes them unique. Even if it’s being a total prick. Often the doppelganger of a prick is a pretty cool guy by human standards. So it’s hard for the doppel to act that way. However, your average everyday Joe or Beth is a lot easier to doppelgang, all the doppelganger has to do is not act up. Since most doppelgangers are Buddhist, this is pretty easy. Buddhism is about doing nothing!
Doppel-society had two objectives, destroy the originality of reading and prevent readers from becoming original people. The first objective was easy, get everyone to read. It’s only cool until it becomes trendy, at this point the cool people move on. The second problem was a little harder, how do we get people not to read the great works of man (Nietzsche, Jesus, Buddha, and Aristotle) despite having all ability to do so? Or if they do read them, not care. Simple, make them hate reading. To do this, we modified the training program of our teachers. Teachers used to just read to the class, there weren’t enough books. So we increased production and gave all the students dozens of them (while hiding a few good ones inside) and told them to write a report on it. This had mixed results. Because creative individuals would write amazing papers. We witnessed the very creation of beauty through our efforts. The kind of stuff that would make bitter old stoics cry. This shit had to stop, so we put a format on book reports. The rules were pretty simple actually: show no humanity, emotion, or style throughout the entire paper and you pass. Show any of that stuff that may be considered “art” and you’ll fail. Any would-be poets or philosophers may complain, but the complaints of the great were littered in the complaints of the lazy and average. This basically drowned them out, because they weren't about to do anything about it. The average never rebel, why do you think rebels are always getting killed?
So what does the blog do? Consider for a moment the content of blogs. Great poems, philosophical queries, struggles in art are rarely seen in them. It’s usually some clique gabbing or a webmaster trying to build press for his or her site. People aren’t just reading now, they’re writing and the stuff is horrible! Making the great works of man even harder to find. Sure, some great bloggers are probably out there, but I haven’t seen them and I’d wager most of you haven’t either.
