Can You Trust People Who Use Too Many Emojis?

And these are the people who throw around emojis. They don't respect power of communication. And these people you have to be careful with because their word, no pun intended or perhaps intended now retroactively, their word is not a word. Their word is not a word. These are not reliable people. I love this comment in the chat. Haha t f no 4 u 1 f says, "Please don't use those emoticons like" and it shows uses a few emojis. They are charged with satanic energy. I adore that comment. I don't know if this person is trolling or if they're serious. Either way, I adore that comment. First of all, you said don't use the emoticons because they're charged with satanic energy, but you yourself used three of them >> [snorts] >> in your own comment. Were you willing to take the risk in order to be as unambiguous as possible? That was very noble of you. Or were you joking? I don't know, but either way, I think it's very exciting. And we've, you know, one of a a recurring thing We have recurring themes on the Colion show. One of our recurring themes is the satanic panic of the 1980s, which I just thought about today cuz I saw a tweet that Bernie Sanders says, "We got to shut down the whole AI. We got to shut down the whole AI." And I thought to myself, "You know what? I would take it more seriously except the fact that I lived through the satanic panic of the '80s. I remember the PMRC and Tipper Gore and the congressional hearings and I remember all the hype and that we've spoken about this in previous Colion shows about Monsters & Mazes and Dungeons & Dragons and Gary Gygax and all that good stuff. But yeah, I'm cynical. So now when a member of Congress says something is a uh threat to to our culture, our society, it's very hard for me to take it seriously. Um t a What do you call Taha t4u1f? I'm 100% serious, Rabbi. No trolling. Okay. So, I I I want to tell you something. I have a pretty good read on people and how do I say this politely? I don't think there's any polite way to say this. I have to say it bluntly. Okay, a lot of people write com a certain percentage of the population is mentally ill and they have access to the internet. So, some comments are from mentally ill people. I can tell immediately just looking at a com comment if it's written by a crazy person. I can tell that you are not crazy. Now, maybe you'll prove me wrong, but no, I'm looking at your comment and I can tell you that you are not crazy at all. Um So, being that I see that you are at least you you strike me as a stable, normal, thoughtful person. Could you tell me? Could you share with us why you believe cuz I have not heard this before that the emoticons are charged with satanic energy. Taha t4u1f says, I feel it. Everyone who really focuses on these things can feel it as well. So, basically saying you don't have more knowledge about it. You're just saying you can feel. Well, I'm going to tell you something, Taha tfu14. The more you write, the more I can tell you're not a crazy person even though the statement emojis are infused with satanic energy is the type of thing that crazy people would say, but you are definitely not crazy. I can tell from interacting with you. So, I want to share something with you and I want to see how you vibe with it. I don't think emojis are are infused with satanic energy. You You may be right. I'm not saying they're not. I'm saying I don't have that feeling and I don't really see it yet. Yet. But here's what I do want to tell you. There are certain types of people who rely heavily on emojis. And a lot of them are some of the I don't know how to say this properly. Um some of the most cold-blooded people. Um not cold-blooded. That's probably not the right word. They They don't take other human beings seriously. They don't take communication seriously. Um There's something sacred in the capacity for one human being to express himself or herself to another. My mother, may she rest in peace, was a speech pathologist and I learned from her to revere the human capacity for communication. And I feel like emojis, and I see the type of people who heavily rely on emojis, uh convey a certain irreverence about communication. I take communication extremely seriously to the point where I'm annoying. Like if someone will say something that they don't literally mean exactly, I'll get really confused and annoyed and say, "Why are you confusing me?" So, I'm like extreme. I know that like I'm way beyond the uh I know I'm extreme as far as how I look at precision of of words. But I think there's another extreme of people who are very fast and loose. That's the That's what I'll say. They play very fast and loose with communication. And these are the people who throw around emojis because they don't respect the power of communication. And these people you have to be careful with because their word, no pun intended or perhaps intended now retroactively, their word is not a word. Their word is not a word. These are not reliable people.
