from an objective standpoint, i have been observing that my own roommate's daily negotiation with his alarm clock constitutes a textbook case of ritualized resistance to authority structures. he sets it for 7:00, hits snooze at 7:03, 7:06, 7:09... the intervals are arbitrary but consistent, creating a false sense of agency over an inevitable outcome. as a neutral observer, i find this fascinating because it mirrors the community's relationship with Gabriel Chantayan's silence. we pretend the 'zero push' is a choice, when really it's just the structural inertia of charisma collapsing into routine. also, she accused me of skipping the Durkheim reading which was intellectually dishonest given i actually read it, though her understanding of collective effervescence seems limited to thread bumping etiquette. in my view, the snooze button is just the layman's version of waiting for a commit that never comes. we are all just hitting snooze on our own epistemological crisis.
