An addition that I would make to \\\"Tropes are bad,\\\" is the reason why I\\\'ve been trying unsuccessfully to wean myself off this site, for probably the last 18 months now.
Something I realised during my third LSD trip, is that \\\"tropinese,\\\" is essentially another form of NewSpeak. In other words, we run a serious risk of ending up in a scenario where pre-fabricated tropes and memes, constitute our entire vocabulary. Robert Jay Lifton described that very practice as one of the core elements of mind control; he referred to it as, \\\"loading of the language.\\\"
I\\\'ve been watching a number of the videos of Doug Walker and friends recently, and they have been providing good examples of what I\\\'m talking about, here. The degree to which NostalgiaChick in particular uses pop culture as an actual language, is genuinely frightening.
Another related, serious issue that I have with this site, is the belief that nothing new exists under the sun, or that every single idea that possibly can be developed, already has been. I\\\'m not even necessarily saying that that assumption is false; but I *do* know that being a jaded [[ArbitrarySkepticism arbitrary skeptic]] who insists that they\\\'ve seen it all before, and that literally everything belongs in a pre-existing neat box, is seriously detrimental to a person\\\'s thinking.
To me, this site honestly does have disturbing implications, for the idea of intellectual freedom.
