I have a very strong reaction to that. I feel the need to expose what I believe to be the emptiness within because truly, I hate it.
To me, it represents repression & control disguised as deep thinking. Making people believe your paper-thin ideas have real substance doesn't feel harmless to me.
I've seen people's whose *entire lives* (70+ years) were consumed by trying to plumb the depths of extremely silly notions that are based on nothing & have no real applications.
