@CoronaCoreanici I put all my "secret and dangerous knowledge" points into reading the subtextual and metatextual cues of social and commercial interactions.
@CoronaCoreanici I've put enough points into it that the emotional impact of most mass media is lost to me because the internal inconsistencies and external messaging -- where the media directly addresses the audience, not itself -- negatively impacts my ability to stay emotionally engaged. I end up interrogating the creators, not the creation.
@CoronaCoreanici This isn't to say I'm wholly immune, and it's actually not really that _fun_ being like this. I kinda don't like being the killjoy at movies. I just tend to get a lot less out of stuff I don't produce myself because I have a hard time overlooking what look like holes to me. This then compounds itself because I've learned that discussing the sources of my discomfort runs a strong risk of ruining other people's enjoyment. xvx
