"Are you smarter than a 3rd grade school student?" .... Masturbatory Egoism of social media simulacra. Reactionary comment messages on social systems that boil down to: "I am smarter than Donald Trump", "I am smarter than Elon Musk", "I am smarter than Russia", the very low low bars of popular screen game show of people declaring they are smarter than others

"People are taking the piss out of you everyday. They butt into your life, take a cheap shot at you and then disappear. They leer at you from tall buildings and make you feel small. They make flippant comments from buses that imply you’re not sexy enough and that all the fun is happening somewhere else. They are on TV making your girlfriend feel inadequate. They have access to the most sophisticated technology the world has ever seen and they bully you with it. They are The Advertisers and they are laughing at you." - Banksy
